You complain and complain about your meal plan and meal options for two years and then, finally, you get to make what you want when you want. If you want mac and cheese for breakfast, it's yours. You want something the dining hall doesn't offer? Make it. It sounds great, right? What could be wrong with that? When school starts you're all excited about all the food you'll try and make, but then week two hits and you run out of ramen. That's when the real hunger games start.

1. At first you're totally lost.

2. Really lost ...

3. Then you get a little over-ambitious

4. And run into a few minor hiccups.

5. You think this is how you look cooking

6. But this is more accurate

7. Then you start to eat a little unhealthy.

8. Which includes a lot of bacon

9. You start to count down the days until your parents come and take you out

10. But then they give you pointers on how you should be cooking (in the nicest way possible)

11. So you watch some cooking shows to get recipes

12. And ultimately you decide to make Kraft Mac and Cheese at 2 A.M.
