The 10 Best Snacks To Have In Your Dorm Room
Prezi

1. Oreos and Peanut Butter

    If you have not tried this combination yet, you must. This is a trick that I learned from "The Parent Trap." Thank you Lindsay Lohan for introducing the perfect sweet and salty combination.

    2. Snack sized chips and pretzels

    SNACK SIZE. This is one key word you need when packing for college. First, if you open a big bag of smart food popcorn you will never know when to stop eating (or you don’t want to stop) and you will finish the whole bag. Also, bugs are gross and if you have one bag of food laying around, you may be inviting little critters into your dorm room.

    3. Bananas

    This is a fruit so it's healthy (yay) and it has a natural cover. This is a quick and easy snack that you can grab on the go.

    Bonus: The potassium in bananas is great for curing hangovers

    4. Microwavable Popcorn

    How can you survive college without this? This is my go to Netflix snack. Plus, it is not that unhealthy for you.

    5. Freeze-dried apples

    This fruit does not go bad and it has the crunch of chips. This is a healthy alternative to the bag of potato chips when you start your new diet.

    6. Cup of Noodles and Mac and Cheese

    Everyone needs comfort food. When you are stressed for your test and you just need to have a quick meal so you can go back to the library and study, microwavable comfort food is the way to go.

    7. Little Bites

    This is a great library snack. Bring this to the library for a quick and sweet boost of energy while you cram for your next test.

    Bonus: This is a quiet snack, so other people in the library won't give you a death stare for making noise while you are trying to studying for your math test.

    8. Granola Bars

    The best grab and go breakfast option. Wake up 20 minutes before class and skip the dining hall, but satisfy your cravings with a chocolatey peanut butter bar.

    9. Carrots and Hummus

    A healthy snack that will fill you. It’s 2 p.m. and you just finished your last class, but you are starving. Fill yourself up with some healthy hummus and carrots.

    10. String cheese

    If you are scared to eat the dining hall’s milk like I am, then this is a good way to get the calcium you need.

    10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

    There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

    Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

    So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

    One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
