Dorm Survival: Eats

8. Dorm Survival: Eats.

Eating is so simple. Right?

1.       You just open the fridge and grab what looks good.

2.       Your mom hands you a plate of your favorite food.

3.       Your dad takes you out for pizza.

No brainier right?

Now picture yourself alone in a dorm with an empty dorm fridge and one bag of your roomie’s chips. The last time you ate those chips your roomie threatened to bruise your teeth. Its 2 am. You are starving; no food opens for hours and you hope to be asleep then. You wish you had thought about having food on hand before you were this hungry.

Good idea to start thinking about food now.

1.       When you went on the college tour what food options were presented? Were you taken to a food court and told you could fund a sort of charge card? Or were there other options?

2.       What is your eating style? Do you eat breakfast? Snack late at night while studying?

3.       Consider having sealed containers to store your snacks in to reduce the sharing bugs and roomie trolling.

4.       How far is it to a store that sells what you like to eat? How can you get there?

Think ahead and plan to have easy access to you what you enjoy eating. Hungry at 2 am with no food is a drag. And 4 am is even worse.

Basic college needs: Sleep. Shower. Eat. Think. Relax. Exercise? Weather. Gear.

Oops. Almost forgot: Class. Studying, Books, Computer.
