Congratulations! You are moving into your apartment to start another year of college! But what's that? You don't know how to cook?! Well, have no fear. These are the five easiest meals that even the worst cook can make in no time at all.

1. Easy Mac/Ramen

Possibly the easiest thing to make in an apartment when you're in a hurry. Just follow the instructions on the box or package and you're good to go.

2. An omelette

Not only a good source of protein, an omelette is also a fantastic way to eat lots of veggies. Scramble two eggs and put in a small pan. Let it cook flat then put cheese, bacon, and whatever else you want in there. Cover it with a lid and let it cook. When it's cooked, flip half of it so its folded in half. Let it cook a bit more then enjoy!

3. Pasta (and jarred sauce)

This is at the Ramen/Mac and Cheese level of difficulty. Just put some pasta in a pot of boiling water, wait until it's cooked, then drain the water. If you like sauce, open up a jar and dump it in a separate pan. Wait for the sauce to heat up then put it over the drained pasta. If you really want to be fancy, defrost some cut veggies or take some fresh ones and add them into the pasta. You could also add chicken for some protein. Put it on a plate and voila! You're done.

4. Salad

Making a salad just involves ripping up lettuce (or you could buy lettuce pre-ripped in a bag), dumping it into a bowl, and adding other veggies, chicken, cheese, and/or dressing to it. It's the easiest thing ever and super healthy to boot.

5. Take-Out Leftovers

If all else fails, just eat leftovers from another meal you made or take-out leftovers. Just A) make sure they're in fact your leftovers and B) make sure they haven't gone bad.

Happy eating and have a great year!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
