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.

    The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

    What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

    Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

    Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

    What's up Asshat,

    I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
