At college, it can get pretty boring eating the same microwavable meals. I would love to make some extravagant meals but skills and tight budgets get in my way. Here are a few inexpensive meals you can actually make that are super simple and quick.

No-bake oatmeal cookies.

I love these things so much! I am not the best dessert maker in the world and have been making these flawlessly since middle school. They make for a great unhealthy quick late night snack when you and your roommate have a major sweet tooth. It also takes no more than 8 minutes.

This was my go to meal last semester when I needed something quick before work or wanted to go ahead and make something for lunch the next day, it is very simple to make and does not take many ingredients, therefore very affordable.

Pasta.

Pasta could be anything from macaroni and cheese, chicken Alfredo, or spaghetti. Whenever I felt like cooking last semester more than half the time it was spaghetti. It might have been because I had an overabundance of spaghetti noodles for some weird reason. Pastas are most of the time very simple to make and can be paired with a nice canned vegetable. You can also look up numerous different recipes to male with past if you are bored with the same average things.

Salad.

There are so many fun and great things to do with salad. Now a lot of people I know, hate salad, but if you do, you can make so many different ways. You can put all types of your favorite fruits or just make a classic one. It can be healthy for you and a great lunch to get you through the day.

Grilled Cheese.

This is a great kid's meal that can easily be vamped up by adding anything from a variety of cheese, bacon, tomato, or really anything you want.

Dip.

Such a great mid day snack or a late night one for cramming last minute homework or studying. My favorite kind of dip to make is Guacamole Dip. It's so delicious, fairly healthy, and is great with club crackers. Dip is also a fantastic thing you can make for parties or small friend gatherings.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
