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.

WOW YOURE DONE ISNT THAT GREAT LOOK AT YOU BEING AN ADULT YOU'RE SO WELCOME NOW PLEASE STOP COMPLIMENTING ME ON MY COOKING WHEN A MONKEY CAN LITERALLY DO THIS

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
