As college students, we have those days where we don't feel like leaving the comfort of our room to go out and eat. Especially when winter time comes, majority of us are going to be feeling this type of way. So for college students, or any seniors already planning on what type of snacks to bring to college, here are a couple of things that you can bring, even if you don't have a fridge or a microwave:

1. Ramen

If you have a microwave in your room, stock up on ramen. It is a quick and easy meal that can be prepare in seconds.

2. Candy

It is alright to have candy, but try not to go overboard with it that you get sick eating too much of it

3. Pop

It is a refreshing drink for when you are up on those late nights doing homework and you don't have a coffee maker in your room.

4. Instant Macaroni and Cheese/Instant Meals

These are your comfort foods for when you are stress out socially, mentally and physically. It is very simple to make if you have a microwave in your room.

5. Cereal/Oatmeal

If you feel like you won't have enough time to make it to the dinning halls to grab a quick breakfast, whip up a bowl of cereal or make some oatmeal. At least you have something that can hold you through class until you have that break to eat a 'proper' meal.

6.Chips

Any type of chips that you like, just stock up on it. The munchies tend to be real when you are doing homework, trust me I get them a lot, and you need something to snack on that wont get too messy

7. Chicken Noodle Soup

While you are away from home, there is a high possibility that you will get sick. Make sure to have some chicken noodle soup for those emergencies

8. Cereal Bars

This can be nutrigrain bars, nature valley, lucky charms rice krispies bar (which are very good by the way), and etc. These can be a quick bite for breakfast or whenever you just want something to eat

9. Microwavable Dinners

Please have a microwave in your room, these mini TV dinners will be very helpful for when you are hungry in the middle of the night and the dinning halls are closed. These meals wont let you go hungry in the middle of the night

10. Peanut butter, Jelly, Mayo, Mustard, Sliced Meat, Bread

Go back to the days when someone asked you what you want for lunch and you ask for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a turkey, ham, sandwich. Even though this sounds kind of weird, it's a quick meal that you won't be having to use one of your meal swipes.

11. Fruits, including dried fruit

It is good to have some type of nutritional snack in your room, even if you have access to a fridge or not.

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.
