As a college student, you learn to eat things that are good for the wallet but also able to fill you up. Or maybe just something to munch on while you contemplate certain life decisions that led you studying at ungodly hours. So if you're a college student you can definitely relate.
1. Ramen Ramen Ramen.
It's cheap, affordable, and filling. It's perfect food for a study break. And when it's cold out, it's a perfect way to get something hot in our hungry tummies.

2. Chips.
It's an awesome way of just munching something while you're studying.

3. Pizza?
Pizza always sounds good. Not only is it affordable but you just can't go wrong with pizza, to be honest

4. Chicken tenders.
I've always loved chicken but since I've been in college, I've learned to love it even more.

5. Anything sweets.
Kitkats, skittles, oreo cookies, chips ahoy, chocolate covered pretzels, just to name a few. We tend to always crave it after devouring something salty.

6. You learn to maybe live with some cafeteria food.
And to be honest with you, they will never be appealing. But over time you'll get used to it. Nothing can ever compare to your mom's homecooked meals no matter what.

7. Chinese food
It's the closest thing to any Asian food that I will ever get my hands on. I'm Filipino and I grew up eating Filipino food every day, so coming to college was a tad bit of a struggle.

8. Frozen foods
In all honesty, I never liked frozen foods. But I learned to eat hot pockets and several other microwaveable foods. Turned out... they're not so bad after all.

The thing is, coming to college, you learn to eat food to survive without depending on your parents to be making those filling home-cooked meals. Maybe you'll get lucky if they're nice enough to come visit you with packed foods, or maybe if you come home. But at the end of the day, we're all just trying to get through this whole "adulting" phase.
