5 Meals You Can Make in Your College Dorm Room

Making the transition from home to college comes with plenty of new changes. Before the school year began, you might have heard that your next four years of school will consist of instant ramen noodles and Hot Pockets, but that’s not completely true.

Freshman 15 – Myth or Fact?

Everyone has heard the phrase “freshman 15”, but how much of it do we know to be true? After much research, we’ve concluded that this phrase can actually be true, but only if you allow it to be.

We all know that starting off your college career can be a scary and stressful time, especially if you are moving across the U.S. away from home. Living on your own, whether in a dorm or apartment calls for responsibility. Even though studies have shown that the freshman 15 is realistically more like the freshman 3-10 (lbs.). If you don’t prepare, then you can definitely be at risk to gain some college weight.

Here are a few tips that you should keep in mind during your entire college career, which will help keep your health on the right track:

  • Get plenty of sleep (although being a college student is stressful, try your best)
  • Drink lots of H20
  • Keep healthy snacks in your minifridge for in between meals
  • Look up MyPlate to see how to incorporate the 5 food groups into your diet
  • Stay active
  • Eat breakfast
  • Talk to your University dietician to help come up with a meal plan that you can accommodate with the dining hall on campus

Remember, the freshman 15 will only come to be if you allow it. Monitor your eating habits and take care of yourself!

Summer School Blues

Summer is here and while other students are going home for the break, some students need to stay for summer school. During these months, the days tend to get hotter and there’s no better way to beat the heat than gulping down cold drinks.

A mini fridge is one of the most common items in a college dorm, especially during summer. These fridges are cheap and small enough to fit in small spaces. They provide convenience and independence to students, which is why you should consider renting one for your dorm.

While mini fridges are cheap, it is recommended to rent one for the summer. Fridge rentals are affordable and will save you money in the long run. When you have one in your dorm room, you can keep cold drinks. This can save you a lot of money instead of buying soda and coffee on the go. The fridge is also a great place to store leftover food, say goodbye to spoiled food!

When you go back to school in summer, having a fridge in the room will help you stay focused on schoolwork. When exams come, and you do a lot of cramming, you don’t need to go out of the room to grab a drink or a quick bite. That way you can concentrate on studying without any distractions.

Students with fridges in their dorm rooms have been observed to have healthier eating habits compared to those without fridges. They keep yogurt and fruits in their fridge that allow them to eat healthy. Some of the common healthy foods that you can keep in your mini fridge include low-fat cheese, vegetables, eggs, hummus and salsa, just to name a few.

When looking for fridge rentals, you should keep in mind that some dormitories and colleges have rules about appliances in rooms. You should check with your college first before renting one for the summer. If they allow one in your room, we can provide FREE shipping, that way you don’t need to worry about how you’re going to get the fridge inside your dorm. And when your rental agreement ends, we will also pick it up from your dorm for FREE again!

Ordering a mini fridge for the summer is the perfect way to save money and at the same time beat the heat. You will have all the comforts of home without breaking your budget. Fridge rentals are better, especially if you are going to use it for a single semester. Most rental facilities offer a per-semester rate, which makes it more affordable than buying one!
