You know you want to try these.

Yay leftovers! These can all be found on Pinterest, just thought I would put the ideas out there for y'all.

1. Parmesan Pork Chops

This delicious recipe is just panko breadcrumbs and parmesan coating about ½ inch thick pork chops. When I made this recipe for someone, they cleared their plate quick! I paired it with parmesan baby red potatoes and green beans seasoned with butter and spices.

2. King Ranch Casserole

My mom made this quite a bit growing up and it's yummy! Plus, it's super easy and you just put it in the oven, let it cool, and consume. Cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, shredded chicken, corn tortillas, lots of cheese, and some Rotel on top.

3. Tator Tot Casserole

Another favorite from my childhood, just put ground beef on the bottom and cover it with cream of mushroom mixture, cheese, and tater tots. I personally always pair it with a salad since it isn't the healthiest casserole.

4. Chicken Parmesan Casserole

One word: delicious. You've seen multiple casseroles on here, and that's because they are so easy to make that you can get other stuff done while you're cooking dinner. All you need is either some pre-breaded chicken or chicken, bread crumbs, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese.

5. Beef Burrito Casserole

This recipe just requires ground taco meat, big flour tortillas, chili without beans and again, lots of cheese. Occasionally, beans are included in the burritos as well and that just makes them even better. I always make sure to have guacamole to go with this recipe and some Spanish-style rice.

6. Chicken Enchilada Soup

I usually just buy some type of soup kit and go from there. This is another easy one because it can be made within 10 minutes. Pair with avocado and tortilla strips for a yummy comfort soup.

7. Chili with a kick

My mom has always made the best chili, and what's even better is that it can be made in the crockpot with almost little to no thought. Just purchase a 2-Alarm Chili kit from your local grocery store and follow the directions. To add spice my mom cut off the top of one or two jalapenos and puts them in there until she served the food. Pair with rice and guacamole or maybe make a Frito pie. Either way, I promise it will be delicious.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
