10 Things From Trader Joe’s Every College Student Needs In Their Dorm

Ahhh, Trader Joe's. The Disneyland of grocery stores. They have an item to satisfy basically every craving a person could ever have and you don't have to worry about breaking the bank. If you're a college student, cravings and savings sound like a match made in the heavens.

1. Cheese puffs

Okay, not only college students, but everyone in God’s green earth should try these at least once in their life. These are basically a ~healthier~ version of Cheetos Puffs, so you can indulge in them without side eying the trail mix when you are looking for a good snack.

2. Mac and Cheese

They should have not put “Reduced Guilt” on the packaging, because it only makes me want to eat it for dinner every night! Just pop this in the oven or microwave and you have yourself a bowl of mac and cheese that almost tastes as good as Aunt Lucy’s at Thanksgiving.

3. Macarons

Macarons from Trader Joe’s doesn’t sound too promising, does it? Yeah, I can totally get that, but I promise that these will hook you onto the Trader Joe’s scene, if you weren’t completely into it already.

4. Mandarin Orange Chicken

For literally 5 bucks, you can have a version of orange chicken that puts Panda Express bowls to shame. It is quick, delicious dinner that will have you driving maniacally back to your closest Trader Joe’s to grab another bag.

5. Siracha Shrimp Bowl

The siracha shrimp bowls are perfect for college students. It’s almost like they were made for us! They are so full of flavor and tastes homemade. The best part? They cook in the microwave. What a dream.

6. Cauliflower Gnocci

As a college student, it can be hard to choose healthier options for dinner, so this is definitely a favorite. They're perfect to dress up with different sauces! Personally, I enjoy them with butter and fresh sage. They are truly amazing.

7. Spicy Cheese Crunchies

You heard me. Trader Joe’s came out with their own version of Hot Cheetos. Are they amazing? There is a 100% chance that the answer is yes.

8. 27 Layer Croissini

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
