The 10 Best Snacks To Have In Your Dorm Room

1. Oreos and Peanut Butter

    If you have not tried this combination yet, you must. This is a trick that I learned from "The Parent Trap." Thank you Lindsay Lohan for introducing the perfect sweet and salty combination.

    2. Snack sized chips and pretzels

    SNACK SIZE. This is one key word you need when packing for college. First, if you open a big bag of smart food popcorn you will never know when to stop eating (or you don’t want to stop) and you will finish the whole bag. Also, bugs are gross and if you have one bag of food laying around, you may be inviting little critters into your dorm room.

    3. Bananas

    This is a fruit so it's healthy (yay) and it has a natural cover. This is a quick and easy snack that you can grab on the go.

    Bonus: The potassium in bananas is great for curing hangovers

    4. Microwavable Popcorn

    How can you survive college without this? This is my go to Netflix snack. Plus, it is not that unhealthy for you.

    5. Freeze-dried apples

    This fruit does not go bad and it has the crunch of chips. This is a healthy alternative to the bag of potato chips when you start your new diet.

    6. Cup of Noodles and Mac and Cheese

    Everyone needs comfort food. When you are stressed for your test and you just need to have a quick meal so you can go back to the library and study, microwavable comfort food is the way to go.

    7. Little Bites

    This is a great library snack. Bring this to the library for a quick and sweet boost of energy while you cram for your next test.

    Bonus: This is a quiet snack, so other people in the library won't give you a death stare for making noise while you are trying to studying for your math test.

    8. Granola Bars

    The best grab and go breakfast option. Wake up 20 minutes before class and skip the dining hall, but satisfy your cravings with a chocolatey peanut butter bar.

    9. Carrots and Hummus

    A healthy snack that will fill you. It’s 2 p.m. and you just finished your last class, but you are starving. Fill yourself up with some healthy hummus and carrots.

    10. String cheese

    If you are scared to eat the dining hall’s milk like I am, then this is a good way to get the calcium you need.

    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.
