With Thanksgiving behind us, and winter break ahead, finals are kicking in. I'm no college kid, but from what I've heard finals week isn't all that fun, and finding time to eat can even be a burden. I don't know about you, but I'm no good to anyone hungry, so I've come to the rescue with five super simple recipes that can be made right in a dorm room for all my finals cramming friends.

1. Microwave Mac and Cheese

Now I'm not talking easy mac or velveta, I'm talking good old fashion homemade mac and cheese. Don't be fooled, this recipe is so simple. If you have a mug, access to water, cheese, pasta, and a microwave you're set. Simply fill your mug with pasta and enough water to cover the noodles and microwave until the pasta is as you like. Then, simply add the cheese and microwave until cooked.

2. Mug Chocolate Chip Cookie

Who doesn't love a homemade chocolate chip cookie? No oven? No problem. Check out this super simple recipe for microwave cookies that are perfect for late night cram sessions. Check them out here!

3. Two Minute French Toast

Overslept after a late night studying? No time to hit the dining hall before class? This quick and easy french toast recipe will solve all your problems. A little bread, egg, milk, and cinnamon in a mug creates a delicious on the go breakfast. Get the full details right here.

4. Baked Potato

If you're sick of ramen and dining hall food, this baked potato might be just what you need. All you have to do is poke a few holes in the potato, then stick it in the microwave for 10 minutes on both sides. After that, it should be soft to the touch and ready to eat. Add a little cheese or sour cream to really make this potato a hit.

5. Mug Brownie

Brownies are my weakness. What better way to indulge than with a mug brownie? This may take a little bit more effort than the baked potato, but it is definitely worth it. If you're going to be studying like crazy, I absolutely recommend taking the time to make this delicious mug brownie.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
