As a college student, I'm pretty busy. Or at least I am around meal times. I do homework during lunch and dinner with some music, or I eat when I'm reading my textbook. I have classes some days that are less than two hours apart: just enough time to think you can get something done and not enough time to actually get something done. Soup is nice and quick, but I need something different now and again.

Frozen Dinners, here to save the day!

You know what frozen dinners are. The name is pretty self-explanatory. What's not self-explanatory is why I like them so much.

So I'll do that.

1. Flavor

Frozen dinners have the ability to mimic elaborate dishes. The frozen versions of pasta and noodle dishes are especially good at this. They are deceptively flavorful for something wrapped in plastic and stuffed in a box in the freezer.

2. Proximity

Frozen dinners are a staple of my diet in college and a staple of the food stores close to campus. They're easy to get to, which always helps.

3. Preparation

Like I said, warming up the meals is easy. Even I can do it. And the instructions are printed on the box, just in case I forget. One less thing I have to worry about in my busy daily schedule.

College is stressful. Food shouldn't be.

Frozen dinners: found in the freezer aisle of supermarkets everywhere. It warms my heart.
