In the life of a busy college girl, we all find ourselves relying on quick meals to get us through. However, there comes a point where we actually end up having to cook an entire meal. If you are like me, these are the 10 stages that happen will you actually have to cook.

1. What am I going to make?

I don't usually have to figure out what I'm going to make so what am I going to make.

2. Do I need to include dessert?

Is that a normal part of the meal?

3. Time to go grocery shopping.

Let's do this!

4. Is this everything?

Did I get everything on the list?

5. Finally, time to prepare the food.

I'm already on step five and I haven't even made the food yet?!

6. One dish prepared, time to start the next.

Wow, I'm doing a great job at this cooking thing.

7. Why did I pick something with so many dishes to prepare?

I think anything that requires more than one dish is too many.

8. I need to make the dessert!

What's a meal without dessert?

9. Time to finally eat this great meal that I cooked!

I spent so much time actually preparing something that required much more effort than throwing a frozen meal into the microwave so we all better enjoy it.

10. Can someone else wash the dishes?

I cooked a wonderful meal and provided nourishment for you so someone else needs to wash the dang dishes.
