10 Things You Cook When You First Move Out

My biggest fear when I moved out was "What the hell am I going to eat?" I can't cook. I mean, I can make cereal if that counts...

So before you start cooking, make sure you have these things: salt, pepper, olive oil and butter. You can't go wrong with this stuff because you can basically put it on anything and make it taste a lot better. So now, the 10 things you cook when you first move out:

1. Spaghetti
It sounds easy. Right? But for whatever reason, the first few times you cook it, it is crunchy. Spaghetti shouldn't be crunchy. The trick "throw it against the wall. If it sticks, its cooked," is a complete lie.

2. Fancy Salad
By fancy salad, I mean, you throw a bunch of random foods that may or may not taste good together into a bowl and you eat it. Salad. Fancy.

3. Chicken
You learn that it is easy and its really hard to screw up...unless you consistently under-cook it--or over cook it. But don't worry, eventually, you'll get the hang of it.

4. Pizza Rolls
Microwave or oven. They're great and easy, and you may only burn them a couple of times. But you really can never go wrong, and there is such a large variety that you can just fill your freezer and go at it.

5. Stuffed Peppers
It is easier than you think, as long as you only use like three other ingredients. (P.S. Pinterest makes it really easy, so I advise you get an account)

6. More Chicken
I'm not kidding. You live off of this stuff. Lunch. Dinner. Lunch. Dinner. Snack. You can cook multiple pieces at once, and you're set. For like a week.

7. Take Out
Okay, so it is not technically cooking... but it is still food right?

8. Frozen Dinners
Mom and dad would be so proud.

9. Cereal
Yes...it does count.

10. Random sandwiches
The bread might be stale and the meat might look funky, but just follow it up with a nice cold beverage.

Don't worry though, all of these things only last for the first month or two. Because at some point, you will have gotten really sick of these foods so you force yourself to learn and adult. Make mama proud!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
