Meal prepping saves so much time during the week. Instead of having to cook dinner every single night and figuring out what you want to eat each time, you just whip up a big batch of one meal on Sunday and you have it for dinner that week. Just a simple reheat and you're done! Meal prepping is wonderful, but sometimes it can be hard to think of new meals to make each week. Here are 10 ideas for you to check out if you've run out of things to cook or just want to try something new.

1. Chicken Burrito Bowl

This dish is super simple to put together! Store each component of the dish separately and then layer them in a bowl when you're ready to eat.

2. Zucchini Noddles with Turkey Meatballs


Pinterest

I am a HUGE zucchini noodle fan, but if they aren't your cup of tea, substitute them for regular spaghetti noodles. Many stores sell frozen pre-made meatballs if you didn't want to make them yourself.

3. Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry


Pinterest

The teriyaki sauce in this dish really takes the traditional stir fry to the next level. Put this dish over some jasmine rice and you've got it made.

4. Mexican Stuffed Peppers


Pinterest

Stuffed peppers look difficult to make, but they are one of the easiest things to throw together. Simply make the stuffing in a pan and scoop it into the peppers. When you're ready to eat them bake them in the oven and enjoy.

5. Vegan Sweet Potato Bowl


Pinterest

For those of you who are vegan or vegetarian here, this is the dish for you! If you're not, then add meat or tofu.

6. Cauliflower Chowder


Pinterest

This creamy chowder is great for when it is cold outside. It is similar to a potato soup but it's better for you.

7. Honey Sriracha Meatballs


Pinterest

Spice things up a bit with these delicious meatballs. The honey balances out the spiciness of the Sriracha.

8. Roasted Vegetables and Chicken


Pinterest

Substitute your favorite veggies. Drizzle with olive oil and some seasoning.

9. Chicken Pad Thai


Pinterest

Pad Thai is a very tasty dish! If you get tired of chicken you can always make it with pork, beef, or seafood.

10. Cilantro Lime Chicken with Cauliflower Rice


Pinterest

Cauliflower rice is the healthier option, but this dish is also great with white rice or jasmine rice.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
