The All Important Food!

Of Fridges and Food!
Now that you are in college, be prepared to say goodbye to food as you know it. Say goodbye to home cooked, made with live goodness and hello to microwaves and pizza…Ohhh the pizza! This can all get very expensive very fast, folks. But hopefully, this little advice I give you will help you for years to come:

1) Buy a minifridge and microwave. Sure, you may not like cooking, but you will not feel like going out ALL of the time. Instead, bring food from home and use the fridge and microwave. This will save you tons and will save you a lot of time, especially during cram week where your room may become your Fortress of Solitude for a few days.

2) Make a list. A simple list of food you do and do not like. Not only will this save you money, but will also give you a chance to make use of precious space, as food you do not want will not be taking up space.

3) Do not share all of your food. Keep a secret stash of food somewhere in your dorm. Why? Well, sometimes, you and your roommate could have a spat, and believe me, the first thing that will disappear will be your easy to find food. I’m not saying you shouldn’t share at all, because bonding over a bag of chips is a great way to build lasting friendships, but just be leery in the case that your relationship does turn sour.

4) Don’t be a glutton. Some of you will have to be a bit more careful now. Food is a precious, precious thing in college, and eating half of your stash in the first week will get you nowhere.

5) Beware of giving. You will share food with your friends and roommate. That’s a fact. But just be careful. If you know you only have so much, do not just give it out over-feelings of guilt. It’s ok to be a little selfish. I mean, what good is it if you’re going hungry? A good idea is to make up a plan where you buy the meal one day, and you friend buys another. Or, you could all pitch in. Whatever you do, do not just “give” all of the time, or else you will end up the loser.
