5 Tricks For Exceptional Dining At The University Of Missouri
Sean Yockey

Transitioning to college is difficult. It is tough to go about our day the same way we would as if we were back home in our comfortable house, in a clean and well-organized kitchen, but we work with what we have.

Surprisingly, we do not have to give everything up. We have the opportunity to eat astonishing food. I have experimented with an array of meals at different dining halls throughout Mizzou's campus. Even if you lack creativity or a desire to craft neat food combinations, you can still learn quick and easy ways to improve your meal by reading this article and apply these new tricks to your next meal!

Locate your waffle maker, now 

It is 8:30 and your alarm shrieks. You begin your morning anxiety attack. Pressing ignore, you shake off the way too obvious, unwanted glare, you receive from a nearby stranger. Get your mise en place prepared: chocolate chips and peanut butter or throw some blueberries in!

Begin pouring your ladle of batter and ingredients.

Whenever the waffle is golden-brown, remove from heat and enjoy!

Use caution

Even though we demand to continue our glorious adventure of creative eating in the dining halls, we must stay grounded. For the concern of your taste buds, stay far away from anything that looks like this. It is awesome to try experimenting with different ingredients but you are going to have a hard time enjoying new experiences.

In regard to the omelet you were thinking about waiting for, it just is not worth it.

Extra spicy, please

Hot sauce. Hot sauce. Hot sauce. This is what it is all about. If you refuse to dress your meal with a little sizzle, you have no purpose here. You can use hot sauce to cover up an unpleasant taste or use it to enhance your flavor.

Mix and match

Why waste your time enjoying one flavor when you can have two? What about three? Simple experimenting with food, inside and outside the dining halls, will put you in a position to find new and awesome meals but you will also craft your palette in the process.

Everything in moderation 

Every university should have access to enough sweets to keep you smiling-until the sugar high fades. Then, it will be time to study. Now, more cookies.

It is far from easy getting a solid meal from a dining hall, but with these few tips, you should be able to improve your dining experience ten-fold. Make sure you do the little things: mise en place ingredients, eat dessert, and always add hot sauce.

Also, never forget that it is way harder to like a person that has basic taste buds.

Stay different, and well-fed.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
