As we all get ready to go back to school for the second semesters, many are soaking up all the homecooked meals they can while they are still at home. Getting such good food can be a bit of a struggle when away at school. Between classes, extracurriculars, and the possible job, making healthy and homey meals can be a bit of a struggle.

Any way to help this struggle is something I'm interested in, so when I heard of the Instant Pot among some friends I knew this was something to look into. They make it a bit easier to have better meals, even when living the packed and stressful life of a college student.

1. It has A LOT of features

This machine has multiple attributes and takes care of multiple things in the kitchen. It's a pressure and slow cooker, as well as a rice cooker, and yogurt maker. This makes it easy to make a variety of things, yet not take up a whole half of the kitchen space with different gadgets.

2. It's easy to clean up

The Instant Pot is a simple and easy clean up when done. It's easy to wash by hand, but it is even dishwasher safe. Can't get much easier than that.

3. The recipes are endless

Because they are such a popular kitchen appliance right now, many people have put recipes out there. Blogs, cookbooks, and even TV chefs have put out different things to make with an Instant Pot, giving you no shortcomings of different meals and snacks to try. Many don't even fall in the same category, as one can make meat, stews, different yogurts, and even wine.

4. You can leave it while in class, work, or practice

They are known to be very safe and have a multitude of different safety features, making it easy to prep the meal before leaving and giving you something that's ready when you come back. No more eating snacks while making dinner because you're just too hungry to wait, now it will be ready when you get home.

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.
