So in the whirlwind of midterms, I find myself being less resourceful than usual. But, as I got sick last week, I was thankful for something I had done the week before.
Whenever I was sick, this is what my mom told me: get lots of sleep, drink lots of water, and eat bland foods. I'm definitely into the whole sleep thing. It gets a little bit trickier with the latter two ideas. But I managed to drink the tap water from my dorm (environmental propaganda: don't buy plastic bottles: they are awful for the environment, and you're paying for a resource that you already have) and tried to eat toast and applesauce when I went to meals. Something that I found really helpful happened to be a general tradition I have of trying to sneak things out of the dining halls.
Seriously. You wouldn't believe how many things you can take from the dining hall. The other day, I witnessed a friend order a custom made wrap and then package it in a plastic turtle shell box. My roommate also has been known to make PB&J sandwiches at late night and bring them back with her. In fact, my roommate and I just got back from dinner, with 4 apples, 1 blueberry muffin, and 1 croissant which we had wrapped up in napkins.
And what, you might ask can you do with these things? Well, that brings me back to my original paragraph. So I was hungry this weekend, but didn't want to make yet another batch of Ramen noodles. Instead, I checked my fridge and found a container of fruit salad that I had made the week before. I had collected a piece of fruit from every meal I ate from the dining hall and there was no way I would eat so many bananas before they went bad. So I chopped them up and they served me in my time of need!
In conclusion, I encourage all college students to take advantage of the tuition bill for which they're footing the bill. You paid for it-you might as well take it!
