The 15 Snack Foods Chillin' In Every College Student's Mini Fridge, Ranked Worst To Best

In college, all we can afford (or have space in our dorm room to have) is a mini fridge. Although it's "mini," us college students have the magic power of shoving just as much into our mini fridge as your average person can fit into a deep freezer.

Out of all of this food we somehow fit into our mini-fridge, here's a list ranked from best to worst typical dorm room snacks.

15. Pint of milk

This usually spoils but it's fine, sometimes I use it for the off-brand cereal that I buy because name brand is too expensive.

14. String cheese

Fast, easy, but doesn't fill you up. Unless you eat like 8 of them at a time.

13. Eggs

I don't actually have anywhere to cook these.

12. Ice cream

The reason this is so low on the list is that it usually doesn't stay frozen in the tiny "freezer" department... so it's just gross.

11. Half empty Gatorade bottle

I bought this on my way home from that party Saturday night.

10. Carrots

Impulse buy.

9. Pudding cups

It's not that these things are loved, but we buy them because they're easy.

8. Fruit

We always buy this because we think we will eat it, but sometimes it sits in the fridge for quite a while...

7. Yogurt

We have this because it's "healthy," but you never know; you could find a yogurt that's a few months old in there.

6. Random sour cream/butter tub

Usually, grandma stores food in these tubs and sends them off to school with me. Typically it's a mystery tub.

5. Cold pizza

This is on a whole different level than any other leftovers.

4. Thursday night's leftovers

These always come in clutch after a night out, whether it's Chipotle or Taco Bell... it doesn't really make a difference.

3. Bottled water

Because we know that water keeps your skin nice and hydrated — which is basically our second highest priority next to getting at least a B on the political science exam.

2. Drink of choice

Most likely some alcoholic drink that 21-year-old girl you met at the gym and exchanged numbers with bought you, but who knows? Maybe it's juice.

1. Mom's Tupperware dinner

From best to worst, this is obviously number one. Anytime you go home, mom always sends you back with her lasagna or maybe even chicken noodle soup if you're lucky.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
