13 Things You'll Only Relate To If You Can't Cook, Like, AT ALL

In This Article:

When you come to college you will either float or sink when you make the move to an apartment from living on campus, because you'll actually have to cook for yourself for once instead of walking to a dining hall.

So here's a list of 13 things you've definitely experienced if you don't know how to cook, like, at all. The struggle is real!

1. Having fast food employees know your order just from seeing you.

2. Ordering to-go from restaurants just to eat somewhat healthy.

3. Your freezer is mostly filled with frozen meals that you cook in the microwave or the oven.

4. The microwave is your best friend in the kitchen.

5. Your pantry is stocked with all different types of pasta and pre-made sauce in a can or jar.

The pasta ranges from ramen noodles to mac n' cheese, or just plain pasta that you can mix with any sauce.

6. You send photos of meals you have cooked to your parents for appraisal.

7. You call your parents when you have questions about something you are cooking.

8. All your recipes have five or less ingredients.

9. Even with few ingredients and direction you mess up.

10. You follow many food accounts to look at amazing meals that you wish you could cook.

11. You over cook chicken all the time, even with a meat thermometer.

12. You have no patience when making a meal.

13. You buy certain foods in bulk to save money because you know you'll go through it within a month.

Don't worry, the holidays are right around the corner and you can get some homecooked meals without having to cook them for yourself.

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.
