Ah college, a time where you begin to experience a tiny bit of what it means to adult. You learn how long you can go without cleaning before it becomes unsafe, how long it actually takes for milk to expire, the importance of not overcooking your leftovers in the microwave in order to not burn down an entire building and how to survive, and thrive, while you learn what it means to take care of yourself in the 4 years you're at college.
In saying all of this, grocery shopping tends to be one of the first things you have to do as a college student that truly opens your eyes to adulting. I think the first time I went to Walmart alone I stood in the doorway for a solid 5 minutes because I didn't know where to go to find everything I needed. It sounds silly, but I found myself calling my mom and asking, "how do you make all of those things appear in our pantry?" I still make it home every week with the same basic items...some bread, meat, cheese, yogurt, and shampoo. All you really need in college, right? There's no telling what the walls of college town Walmarts and grocery stores everywhere have seen, but here are a few thoughts.
