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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
