College means a lot of things. Long days of homework, followed by late nights with your friends and sleep and nutrition being kicked to the side. While the "freshmen fifteen" are inevitable for most students, not many people talk about what happens after freshmen year. After you lose your meal plan and move off-campus, resorting to eating fast food and microwaveable meals is common. You don't have enough time to do everything – classwork, homework, organizations, internships, socializing – especially not cooking gourmet meals. You may not be Gordon Ramsey, but that doesn't mean that your kitchen should be a nightmare! Here are 5 quick, easy and affordable Crock Pot/Slow Cooker recipes that every college student should try.

1. Chicken Burrito Bowls

Because taco Tuesday should be EVERY day!

2. Pulled Pork

Perfect for every football watch party and a comfy night in!

3. Mac and Cheese

A combo that we have grown up with and will continue to love for years to come!

4. Teriyaki Chicken

If you make this for your visitors, I promise, they will be in awe!

5. Steak Fajitas

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
