What to do if You're Sick of Eating Food from College Dining Halls

Food in college can be a difficult task to handle. You get tired of the same choices in the dining halls quickly, not to mention most aren't the healthiest options. Here are some things to try if you're sick of dining on campus:

1. Have a "Chopped" cooking show dinner party

Sometimes the best dishes come from ingredients you wouldn't normally combine. Ask your friends to dinner and have each bring one ingredient. When everyone arrives, figure out which ingredients you have and then work together to create your "Chopped" cooking show final dish. Time it if you're feeling brave.

2. Google "locally run restaurants near me"

If you're tired of going out to eat at food-chains restaurants but still want to eat out, this is a good choice. You can get to know a location so well if you take the time to figure out what the locals like. Also, who doesn't like a break of scenery?

3. International night

Craving food from home? Try to recreate something you grew up eating. Ask your family for a recipe and get together with friends and have an International dinner party.

4. Find one easy to prepare recipe, Master it, then Repeat this step

Get excited about new flavors and dishes. If something looks good on Pinterest, now is the time to pull out the recipe and try to make it yourself. If it's good you know you can make it again, master it, and be proud of your work.

5. Have a Potluck!

Potlucks are always a great option because you end up some different choices. You never know what you'll get, so invite your friends over and figure out what dinner for the night is.

6. Put Hard-Boiled Eggs in your Ramen Noodles

Ramen noodles get boring after eating them every weekend. Spice things up by adding a hard-boiled egg to the dish. it's an upscaled version of the ramen noodles us college students love.

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.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
