Easy Go-To Meals For Kitchen-Challenged College Students

If you're anything like me, you know better than to step into the kitchen, because it's pretty much guaranteed that you will burn something up. I promise there are a few meals that even the worst cooks can manage to make after a late night at the library. These ten meals are the best (maybe not the healthiest) options for you!

1. Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad

Easy. Before you do anything, be sure to hard-boil an egg. Buy a bag of frozen Tyson chicken tenderloins, slice one up, preheat one of those little grills, lay some olive oil on it and let it cook. You can even throw on some spices if you're feeling fancy. While you're waiting for that to finish up, slice some avocado and tomatoes, wash some lettuce and throw it in a bowl. Top it off with chicken and whatever dressing you prefer, along with a few croutons and Parmesan cheese and you are good to go!

2. Spaghetti

OK, everyone knows how to make this, come on. Boil some water, throw some noodles in, and when its ready take it out, throw some butter and Prego on it with some parmesan cheese (and please don't ever forget your breadstick). If you're feeling extra healthy and don't just want some veggies on the side, make it a zucchini noodle spaghetti.

3. Turkey panini

Take some real whole grain bread and press some sliced turkey, swiss cheese and some sliced tomato.

4. Omelettes

Ok no judgement. These things can pack a lot of your vegetables and protein so definitely skip the bagel and pack some eggs with peppers before class.

5. Healthy flatbread pizza

THIS IS DELICIOUS. Go to your local grocery store and buy the whole grain, healthiest, flatbread crust you can find. Slab some olive oil, mixed cheeses, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and maybe a handful of pepperonis and bake that baby until it's nice and crisp. Eat one half with a cup of fruit salad and save the rest for a lunch break.

6. AND OF COURSE the good old trusty go-to's

PB&J, Grilled Cheese and Ramen. Put your own twist on these and you will definitely make it through (at least your freshman year of) college.

Obviously, if you're ever in a rut, a lean cuisine will never let you down, but when I first started learning to feed myself, these were my go to's. Growing up with a mother who cooked every night was definitely a blessing, but certainly did not prepare me for getting back late at night after work/class/etc. and still having to feed myself. Good luck!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
