Chicken So Easy A College Student Can Do It
Yellow Bliss Road

Every time I cook a meal for my friends, they always seem so in awe that I am able to cook such an "extravagant" meal for them - like it blows them away that my oven actually turns on or something. I've tried my best to explain to them that their ovens, too, work just like mine does, but I thought that I would share this knowledge with the rest of the world in an extremely easy dish that is so easy even a college student can do it.

So the first thing you're going to need to do is make sure that you have a glass baking dish, a sandwich baggie, a fork and a knife for eating, a plate to eat your food on, and then the other things like some chicken breasts, some italian salad dressing, and salt and pepper. Once you have these things, please proceed to the next paragraph.

So in order to have really tender and moist chicken, you're going to need to be prepared to cook at least two hours before dinner time. I know - that's really hard for busy college students, but even if you start your marinating in the morning before classes or the night before, you'll be fine.

Take your chicken breasts and stab them with a fork. This tenderizes your meat and also puts little holes in them that are good. The more holes the better.

Now put the chicken breasts (I literally do not care how many) in a sandwich bag (or a freezer bag if you have too many for a sandwich bag. Or two sandwich bags. You decide) and fill the bag with the italian dressing so that the chicken is all covered. Then put the baggie of chicken in the fridge (DONT LEAVE IT OUT chicken is meat and will go bad) and leave it in there for 1 hour - 24 hours, whatever your time allows for.

Whenever you're ready to cook, preheat your oven 400 degrees. Take your chicken out of their baggies and put them in the glass baking dish. I like to sprinkle some salt and pepper on both sides to add some flavor, but that's up to you. Then put the chicken in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, or when the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.

Take the chicken out of the oven and eat it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
