Dorm room dinner hacks

For The Love Of Food

While there are various options on campus for meals, from the cafeteria to various smaller spaces, sometimes none of those cut it. And, within walking distance there are various restaurants and eateries, plus one could always order delivery. But, sometimes walking anywhere seems like too big of a task. And, you just are not in the mood for eating the same wrap again. Plus, you are broke so a real restaurant is not an option. So, here is where the top dorm room dinners come in, complete with tricks to even make them better.

4. Ramen or Easy Mac

These dishes are the classic college student go-tos. I personally strongly dislike Easy Mac, but am a big fan of Ramen. To make Ramen easier, I microwave a mug of water and then put the Ramen in, and just stir it around. I know most people, however, pour the ingredients into the water and then microwave it. If you do that, do NOT forget the water. Nobody likes fire alarms going off at 1 AM.

3. ALL of the Target Brand frozen snacks

The Target Brand Frozen Appetizers are a way of life. Walking through the aisle fills me with happiness as I pick out Buffalo chicken bites and all the other beautiful appetizers that you can microwave.

Life Hack: Keep a bottle of blue cheese and/or ranch in your fridge.

2. Pizza rolls/pizza bagels/pizza bites/pizza products

While the caf does offer pizza, it is not exactly your top notch slice. So, since pizza is probably one of the most important meals of the day, stocking up on pizza products is necessary, and makes any night better. Sometimes I store my pizza rolls in the fridge instead of the freezer which seems to cut down on cooking time.

1. Anything Your Mom Made

My neighbor has an extremely large container of salsa sitting in her fridge that her Mom made her and I am extremely jealous. Because whether it is salsa or cookies, it is automatically 1000000 times better knowing your mom made it. One of my friends is currently trying to convince her mom that paying the overnight shipping cost is worth it when it comes to her Mom's banana bread. I plan on bringing food back to school from home during break and storing it in my freezer.

How can you improve it? You can't. It's already perfect.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
