10 Easy College Meals
The Food Lab

For those of us who aren't very busy this summer, it's the perfect time to work on those random tasks that we normally don't have much time to do. For me, that means attempting to learn how to cook. Although I hope that eventually I'll be able to make really amazing and ornate meals, I also know that it's not exactly easy to fit cooking into college's busy schedule. Therefore, here are 10 easy meals that you can make during college (some can even be prepared in advanced and stored for later):

1. Sofrita Bowls

Most of us probably get sofrita bowls from Chipotle, but this is a cheaper and healthier option that will help you save money and improve your cooking skills.

2. Pizza Mac & Cheese

It's my two favorite foods combined into one recipe! What's not to love?

3. Ram n' Cheese

It's college students two go-to foods: Ramen and mac and cheese. I guarantee that this will become your new favorite and you won't be able to eat just instant ramen anymore.

4. BBQ Quesadillas


BBQ sounds delicious, but it's also time consuming (and what college student has a grill?). Instead, make these BBQ Quesadillas--they taste just as awesome, but can be ready in much less time.

5. One Pot Cheese and Tomato Pasta

Pasta should be every college students favorite meal. It's quick and can easily be varied--one day could be pesto, another tomato, another alfredo, etc.

6. French Toast In A Cup

Mug cakes never work well for me, but I have high hopes for this French Toast in A Cup recipe. Just make sure you don't overcook the eggs, or else it's going to taste like scrambled eggs with sweet bread (Ew).

7. Ratatouille

You save so much time with this quick Ratatouille recipe that you might as well procrastinate on homework and watch the movie Ratatouille while eating this.

8. Cheese Burger Salad

The fact that there's also lettuce in this makes it healthy, right?

9. Lasagna

Okay, so it's not exactly authentic Italian lasagna, but I'd say that any college student who makes lasagna is pretty well-prepared for adulting.

10. DIY Ramen

Instead of eating unhealthy instant noodles, you can make these DIY Ramen noodles in advance (using your own customized ingredients) and just add hot water when you're ready to eat!

Enjoy cooking!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
