The University of New Hampshire is known for having good food in their dining halls. I'm not going to deny that it is good, but after a while, it can get boring eating similar things all of the time.

Luckily, I've created this list of food hacks for when you feel like giving up on the dining hall!

1. Paninis

No need to wait for grilled cheese night! Make grilled cheese, or any toasted sandwich, by using the panini press.

2. Ice Cream Sandwich

When it is ice cream night at the dining halls, put a scoop of ice cream between two cookies to make an ice cream sandwich.

*Pro-tip: Roll the ice cream sandwich in chocolate chips, sprinkles or Oreo crumbles to make it ascetically pleasing like in the picture above!

3. Trail Mix

You can make trail mix by combining pretzels from the sandwich bar with dried fruit form the salad bar with chocolate and raisins from the ice cream toppings and whatever cereal you want. Customize it exactly the way you like!

4. Bagel Pizza

While they may be in different parts of the dining hall, there is almost always bagels, cheese, and sauce available. Microwave it and you have a mini pizza!

5. Warm Cookies

Who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie? You can have them anytime you want if you warm them up using the microwaves in the dining halls.

6. Quesadilla

Combine veggies and cheese from the salad bar in a tortilla and put it in the panini press to make a quesadilla!

7. Sandwich & Salad Bars

Salad

I'm including these because I don't think many people realize that you can make your own sandwich and/or salad anytime.

8. Apple & Peanut Butter

Cut up an apple and add some peanut butter to your plate for a healthy snack or a protein-filled dessert.

*Pro-tip: You can do this with other fruits too!

9. Sparkling Juice

You can make sparkling juice by adding soda water to any of the juices!

Enjoy!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
