One interesting thing about living on your own is the fact that you have to provide food for yourself. Yes, there is a cafeteria and I have a meal plan, but you HAVE to eat your meals at the cafeteria. You can't take any food out. Needless to say, this can get old (and lonely if you don't have someone to sit with) and I enjoy eating a few of my own meals in my dorm room so I can relax.
I'm trying to stay healthy. I don't want to gain my freshman fifteen any time soon... or ever.
This was my very first on-my-own meal. A turkey and swiss sandwich, baked Lays, Dasani water bottle, three different types of grapes... and a Fruit by the Foot. Hey, dessert had to come from somewhere. I took a picture to capture the very, very momentous occasion. ;)
Pretty good for my first on-my-own meal, right? Especially coming from someone who doesn't know how to cook.
I've been on my own for about a month now and my meals haven't changed a whole lot. I still eat a lot of sandwiches, fruit, Baked Lays, and cafeteria food. I still love Fruit by the Foot, although I get that more rarely.
Oh, college food...
I need to learn how to make different kinds of things to eat.
I love sandwiches. I keep forgetting to bring a lunch to school (I'm a college student who lives at home), so I've gotten into the expensive habit of buying sandwiches from the United across the street. You can't go wrong with a good sandwich.
ReplyDeleteMost college students I know live off curry and pasta. :P I like to make a lot at once and try to see if it can last me for a whole week.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a kitchen in my dorm room, and I'm only allowed a hot pot, coffee pot and small fridge, so I've had to manage to get by w/ the old faithful standbys like Ramen and Easy Mac, though definitely not healthy. Canned soup works too, but it is such a hassle to cleanup afterwards.
ReplyDeleteSara, I had trouble with canned soup too and then I got some paper or styrofoam bowls... they made things a lot easier because I could just throw them away in a hall trashcan when I'm done.
