The Fourth of July is a fun holiday to get all of your friends and family together and celebrate our country with a barbecue. When the fun is over, however, most people do not know what to do with all of their leftovers. Here are some ideas on what you can do with these nine common barbecue foods.

1. Steak

Leftover steak is great in the morning for a breakfast of steak and eggs. You can also use the steak to make steak tacos, or even steak fajitas.

2. Burgers

Burgers are great if you want to crumble them up and use them in a sloppy joe sandwich.

3. Chicken

With leftover chicken, you can make chicken salad -which is really good with sliced red grapes- use it for chicken and waffles, chicken quesadillas or fajitas and even just to slice to top off a salad.

4. Deviled eggs

You can use deviled eggs to make egg salad or throw them on top of a homemade chef salad.

5. Macaroni salad

Do you love coleslaw? Do you love macaroni salad? Here is a little twist that can be taken on these two classic foods. Add some freshly shredded cabbage with some shredded carrots to your macaroni salad, and some more mayonnaise to your liking, and voila! Macaroni salad coleslaw.

6. Baked potato


You can take the insides of the potato and mash them up to make fried potato pancakes, or bake them again and make loaded baked potato sliders.

7. Corn

Ever hear of corn fritters? If you have you know they can be real good, so why not turn some of that corn on the cob into some fresh corn fritters?

8. Potato salad

This is going to be the one to get some weird looks, but of you recook your potato salad you get nice, crispy, flavorful potatoes. Preheat your oven to 425º, if you have excess mayonnaise put your potato salad in a strainer and rinse some, but not all, of the mayonnaise off. Bake in the oven for about a half hour, but make sure you turn your potatoes.

9. Buns

Leftover buns and rolls can be used to make bread pudding, or even to make croutons for your favorite salad!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
