  • College Food Survival Guide--Top Ten Snacks

    When you're dorming away--or dormed away--from home then you can understand how disgusting dining hall food can eventually get. You miss having to walk only a few steps from your room to the kitchen when the aroma of brownies clombers you over the head. You miss just being able to pick right off the hot plate, knowing that without a doubt you'd like it; you miss food that you never thought you would miss, like onions or scallions--my personal dislikes that have somehow become magically delicious.

    But college life isn't a living hell--though some people may beg to differ-- since there are dry packaged snacks that can help get a college student through the long book-hitting/I-have-the-damn-munchies/if-I-don't-eat-anything-I'm-going-to-be-completely-smashed night.

    Pop Tarts are all you need for that extra rush of sugar. Hide it between the pages of your books and it's a pleasant surprise when you reach the end.

    Popcorn is like the bible of all foods during movie nights where you're trying to get your mack on. I've also changed religions, from regular buttery popcorn to kettle corn popcorn (it's sweeter).

    Canned soda, Gatorade, Vitamin water, and plain bottled water are bought in large packages for consumption to "quench your thirst".

    Granola bars are nifty because, like pop tarts, you can take them on the go and get an extra boost of energy between classes, napping, and studying.

    Pocky; I bow down to these bread sticks coated in various flavors like chocolate and coffee.

    Rice Crispy Treats are sweet but chewy with marshmallow goodness, easy to hold as you frolic through your dorm.

    Cereal is really easy to eat, either by itself or with milk. With milk, most people can eat it and accept it as a meal.

    Easy Mac (mac and cheese) is the snack that most of my college friends have, within good reason. It's easy, it's cheesy...it's easy mac!

    Chips are a must must must snack in college. My personal favorite is Flat Earth chips, they're healthier than regular chips, but still have the rich chip taste.

    Ever get a craving for cheese? Kraft's Polly-O-Cheese has always been fun to unravel, whether you're in elementary school or in college.

    Finally, Instant Ramen Noodle, the reigning MSG king! Instant ramen is easy to make and happens to be, well, instant! Compared to the other foods listed, this one can fulfill the appetite since it's less of a snack and more of a meal.

    So how do you survive in college or how did you survive in college? Were any of these snacks your personal saviors?
