9 Cheap And Easy College Kitchen Recipes

John Reggio

Living in a college apartment can feel like a meaningless perk. Sure, you have a kitchen, but you have no access to (or money for) any groceries. Well, hopefully there is some sort of convenient store on campus or near by so you can get the basics. IF you do, then you are about to become the next Gordon Ramsey because these dishes will become the favorites of all your friends. So let's get started.

1. Grilled Cheese Lasagna

This is the first thing my friends and I cooked together. You're gonna wanna butter a casserole dish, then butter some bread. Put bread in dish, butter side down. Layer of cheese, layer of bread, layer of cheese, then some buttered bread, placed butter side up. It kinda slaps.

2. Campbell's soup Popsicles

Pour a Campbell's soup of your choice into a cup. Freeze it with a pencil or pen in the center (you can cover with cling wrap so it stays in place). Once it is solid, lick away!

3. Poached Oreo's

Take some marinara, or, as the Italians say, Madadad sauce, and pour it in a pot. Then, just dump in a case of Oreo's, let simmer on stove for 6 hours. Enjoy!

4. Dirty dish scrap leftovers

After you eat, take the stuff from the plate and scrape it into a pot. Keep doing that until the pot is full. Eat contents. Yummmm.

5. Pasta cooked in Popcorn kernel broth

So after you microwave popcorn, save the unpopped kernels. Put them in a pot with some water and let it boil for 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Then, save the water, get the kernels out, and cook pasta in the popcorn water. Delish.

6. Seltzles

Take some pretzels, which you can just take from the airplanes. Now dump them in a pot with seltzer filled to the brim. Now boil that down until you are just left with solids. Boom. Seltzles.

7. Cookie dough ravioli

So this one is actually kinda fun. You take an Uncrustable (any flavor), cut a slit in it, then shove raw cookie dough in the center, and fry it in some oil on a pan on the stove.

8. Baked cold cuts

You can easily get ham, salami, sliced turkey, bologna and any other sliced meet at a local deli. Just put some of those in a pot and throw it in the oven at 475 for 50 minutes. Voila. Food for a king.

9. Mix every spice you got, and drip some Tyson nuggets in it.

That's pretty much it, actually.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
