Dorm room dinner hacks

For The Love Of Food

While there are various options on campus for meals, from the cafeteria to various smaller spaces, sometimes none of those cut it. And, within walking distance there are various restaurants and eateries, plus one could always order delivery. But, sometimes walking anywhere seems like too big of a task. And, you just are not in the mood for eating the same wrap again. Plus, you are broke so a real restaurant is not an option. So, here is where the top dorm room dinners come in, complete with tricks to even make them better.

4. Ramen or Easy Mac

These dishes are the classic college student go-tos. I personally strongly dislike Easy Mac, but am a big fan of Ramen. To make Ramen easier, I microwave a mug of water and then put the Ramen in, and just stir it around. I know most people, however, pour the ingredients into the water and then microwave it. If you do that, do NOT forget the water. Nobody likes fire alarms going off at 1 AM.

3. ALL of the Target Brand frozen snacks

The Target Brand Frozen Appetizers are a way of life. Walking through the aisle fills me with happiness as I pick out Buffalo chicken bites and all the other beautiful appetizers that you can microwave.

Life Hack: Keep a bottle of blue cheese and/or ranch in your fridge.

2. Pizza rolls/pizza bagels/pizza bites/pizza products

While the caf does offer pizza, it is not exactly your top notch slice. So, since pizza is probably one of the most important meals of the day, stocking up on pizza products is necessary, and makes any night better. Sometimes I store my pizza rolls in the fridge instead of the freezer which seems to cut down on cooking time.

1. Anything Your Mom Made

My neighbor has an extremely large container of salsa sitting in her fridge that her Mom made her and I am extremely jealous. Because whether it is salsa or cookies, it is automatically 1000000 times better knowing your mom made it. One of my friends is currently trying to convince her mom that paying the overnight shipping cost is worth it when it comes to her Mom's banana bread. I plan on bringing food back to school from home during break and storing it in my freezer.

How can you improve it? You can't. It's already perfect.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
