10 Easy Recipes for College Students

Don't have a kitchen but not looking to eat the same old dining hall food? Don't worry! It is in fact possible to make delicious comfort food right from your dorm room. You'll just need a few simple ingredients and most importantly, a microwave.

Scrambled Eggs in a microwave

Never skip breakfast again! This quick and easy scrambled eggs recipe will make sure you get your energy from the most important meal of the day.

All you'll need to do is:

1) Spray the microwavable cup or mug with nonstick cooking spray.

2) Crack open two eggs then add some shredded cheddar and some milk (and whatever else you prefer to add).

3) Put in the microwave and heat for 45 seconds. Take out and stir then place back in for another 45 seconds.

(Add salt and pepper to taste)

Quesadillas

I would make a quesadilla pun, but it'd just be too cheesy.

All you'll need to do is:

1) Lay down a tortilla on a microwave safe plate and add shredded cheese (you can also add other ingredients such as black beans, left over meat, and vegetables if you have/choose to).

2) Cover the tortilla in a paper towel and heat for 1-1.5 minutes.

Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Baked Potatoes

Delicious comfort food right in your dorm in just minutes. Does it get any better than that?

All you'll need to do is:

1) Wash potato thoroughly and prick many times with a fork.

2) Wrap it in a paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes. Then, flip it over and microwave again for 5 minutes. (You'll know it's done when you can poke the fork all the way through the center with ease).

3) Add your favorite toppings and voila!

Pasta (also Knorr pasta sides)

Who says you need a pot and stove to make pasta? Knorr pasta sides make it super easy for college students to eat delicious pasta right in their dorms!

All you'll need to do is:

1) In a microwave safe bowl, add in one cup of water, a half cup of milk, some butter or margarine. (Every package has specific instructions on the back that are quick and easy to follow).

2) Heat for 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.

Bacon

This recipe will definitely not go bacon your heart..

All you'll need to do is:

1) Place 2-3 sheets of paper towels on a microwave safe plate.

2) Put desired amount of bacon strips on top making sure not to overlap.

3) Put another piece of paper towel on top of the bacon and heat for 4-6 minutes.

Nachos

This is definitely nacho cheese, but I guess I'm willing to share.

All you'll need to do is:

1) Arrange nachos on microwave safe place and top with ground beef (or beans) and cheese.

2) Heat for 1-1.5 minutes.

Serve with desired toppings.

Brownies or Cake

Even on your busiest day, there's always time for cake.

All you'll need to do is:

1) Spray a microwavable mug with non-stick cooking spray.

2) Add about 6-8 tablespoons of your cake mix in the cup.

3) Next add some oil and water and make sure to mix thoroughly.

4) Add in one egg and mix well.

5) Heat for 4-5 minutes or until done.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
