10 Meals You NEED To Enjoy Home On Break, Because Home Food > Dining Hall Food
Jenna Pizzi

Spring break means going home, which translates to REAL FOOD. Everyone is thankful to be home again and to take a break from dining hall food for the week.

No one is really going to miss that undercooked rice or the mystery meat they serve.

Instead, here are some foods you actually missed...

1. Pizza, pizza, pizza

The biggest pizza debate: New Jersey or New York. Either way, pizza is pizza. You can't really be too picky after seeing the pizza they serve in the dining halls... or their attempt at pizza...

2. Bagels

You already know my first stop in the morning is to my favorite bagel place where the workers already know my order... considering I basically live there when I'm home. Nothing says welcome home like a warm, toasted bagel.

3. Diner food

Diners are the definition of home. Period.

4. Taylor ham, egg and cheese

Depending on where you are from it could also be known as pork roll but honestly, food is food no matter what it's called. Whatever I am served that didn't come from the dining hall, I will not question it.

5. Something from your favorite bakery

That's right. I come home to be spoiled and eat whatever I want to. So I'll have a small cake, three cookies and a couple brownies.

6. Ice cream

I love coming back to see that my favorite ice cream shop is open for the season. You can find me there every night of the week.

7. Anything your mom cooks

Duh, that's like three-fourths of the reason I'm always so excited to come back.

8. Your favorite restaurant

We all have that one place where we NEED to go right when we get home and NEED to go right before we go back.

9. Anything that isn’t frozen

College has given me my fair share of frozen pizzas, waffles, chicken nuggets and anything else that I can keep in the refrigerator that will assure me that I won't go hungry for

more than five minutes.

10. Something other than mac and cheese

You know when you eat something every day to the point where one day just the thought of it makes you queasy? Yeah, I need a break from it.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
