Would it even actually be Fall if you don’t go on a Fall themed adventure? Of course not, and this year I actually got with the program and went on one. My roommate and I decided to spend one of the rare sunny Ohio days out and about. So we left campus and drove 40 minutes to an apple farms kids fall fest. Did we then pay 8 dollars to get into said fun fest? Yes. Was it totally worth it? Yes, yes it was. Continue reading
As schools come back in session all of us college kids are once again packing up our things and packing is daunting. So much we could bring, so little space to put it. To make your packing a little easier (and your bags a little lighter) here are 5 things you don’t need to bring with you.
It sounds like a good idea. Wrinkly clothes need a way to be dealt with, but I’ve been in college for two years and have only used mine a handful of times. Because it takes a lot of effort. Instead, opt for a wrinkle spray or a handheld steamer. Super easy to use and takes up less storage space.
Living in a dorm sometimes you don’t have access to all the fancy necessities to cook a gourmet meal, or even just a pot to put on the stove, but have no fear you can still cook some delicious things!
All you need is a microwavable mug and a microwave.
Yes, you can make french toast in a mug! I didn’t believe it at first either.
What you need
Milk
Eggs
Bread (wheat seems to work the best)
Vanilla (can substitute with some syrup is needed)
Cinnamon
First whisk eggs together with milk, vanilla, and cinnamon
Soak cut up pieces of bread in the mixture
Place in microwave for 60-90 seconds depending on the way your microwave cooks food
AND SERVE
Add some of your favorite toppings like syrup, chocolate chips, or fruit to taste.
The easiest eggs to make in the microwave are your standard scrambled.
Crack eggs into a mug, I find up to three works the best
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, adding milk will help to fluff your eggs
Microwave on high for 45 seconds, stir
Microwave for another 30-45 seconds
And TADA
Add some cheese, herbs, or even salsa for added flavor
½ cup of macaroni noodles
½ cup of water
Shredded cheese
Salt and Pepper
Add noodles and water to large mug cook on high for 1 min, stir
Cook for another minute, stir
Continue to cook in 30-second intervals until macaroni are thoroughly cooked
If it is getting too dry add a bit of water
Stir in cheese, salt, and pepper
Enjoy!
Note: Be careful to watch your macaroni because the water is prone to overflow during the cooking process
All of these meals can also be made in a microwave safe bowl as well.
These are great alternatives for when you get tired of campus food or ordering pizza.
Let me know if you want to see another post talking about microwave desserts!
There is a point in every semester when everything seems to be piling up and no matter how much you are doing, it never seems to be enough. When this point comes, burnout inevitably follows. Especially when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and break is on its way.
I get semester burnout every semester but especially in the spring. When all I want is summer to come so I can take a break from essays and homework and getting up early burnout be excruciatingly frustrating. Continue reading
Welcome back to my blog for day 12 of the 30-day blog challenge, and if this is your first time here
Hello!! Thanks for stopping by!!!
Today I am going to be talking…writing… about tips be more PRODUCTIVE!
This was requested on my Instagram to blog about, so shout out to the two people who actually responded with what they wanted me to write.
I know I’ve talked about this in some of my other posts.
(See: Time Management. Effective Studying.)
But I honestly can not recommend this enough. Making a list is the best way to get organized and know what needs to be done. I like to organize my lists by two specific characteristics, most important and due date. By categorizing my lists I can better get a sense of what I need to spend more time on and what I have to really be sure not to leave till the last minute.
