Yumm

Since this is the first year on my own, I have also had to learn how to to cook for myself. This has been nothing short of an adventure. Luckily I have a meal plan at adpi for dinners, but that is only during the week. I am not very talented in the kitchen but, I can honestly say I have enjoyed learning from my roommates how to cook. If it were up to me I would have cereal, turkey sandwiches and pasta everyday. Recently, I have been becoming a bit more adventurous and I have used our grill for both hot dogs and hamburgers and I made/under cooked pancakes the other morning. According to USA Today, 59% of college students say they know their diet has gone downhill since they went to college. I would say that my diet was somewhat healthy because I always had healthy options prepared for me that I could chose from, but now that I am dependent on my own cooking skills the healthy options are not always available. It is sad that the unhealthy food is faster to make which makes it more tempting for a college student in a time crunch to make. I hope that throughout the school year I can develop my cooking skills for the future when I am completely independent.
