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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
