Congratulations!

It’s the first week of the new semester and all is looking good, but coming back to the grub of the school cafeteria is almost a kick in the face after living off of homemade meals and hometown comfort food during Winter Break.

Now you’re left with styrofoam fries (shoutout to FDU’s ability to make them addicting though!).

So what’s a hungry-for-good-stuff food fanatic to do?

1) Ramen

It’s an oldie but a goodie. Don’t like anything that’s in the cafeteria? Boil some water or locate the nearest microwave and you’re golden!

2) Utilize Your Appliances

If you’re lucky enough to have a fridge/freezer in your dorm room, it might be a good idea to stash some of your favorite foods in there to tide you over when delicious food seems scarce, right?

3) Cafeteria Hacks!

A lot of colleges have Cafeteria Hack pages on Instagram or Twitter; find one and use it to your own advantage!

4) On-Campus Eateries

Yes, they cost money. But then again, a lack of goodness costs your sanity :)

5) Endure!

Find one or two staple meals you can survive off of and live your best life! It might be hard, but your meal-plan will be grateful!
