Starting college soon. What are some easy dorm meals for someone with only a microwave? Should I get a hotplate or something?

>> No.12563804

I hope you become extremely depressed and stop going to classes, acquiring a substantial debt that you have to work for years to pay off with zero benefit to show for it. Every day slaving at some shit job knowing it is paying for an experience you never truly fulfilled. Your misery adding up until you finally lose it and quit. But then you're homeless and taking jobs through a mobile app for pennies just so you can score that next hit of meth. But not to worry, there's always jail to take care of you. Sure they starve you and beat you, but it's place to sleep at night, right?

Oh, and yeah, get a hotplate.

That story was autobiographical. And I bet you'll never know the thrill of murdering a duck with a rock to roast over literal flaming garbage because you're JUST THAT HUNGRY. But the chick under the bridge thought it was manly and sucked your dick.

Salads of all kinds.

Check that the dorm allows hotplates, some don't due to fire hazard. A personal fridge might be nice, depends on how nasty your dormies are.

College grad here, and if you're sharing a room with anyone, a personal fridge is an absolute must. Get one you can lock. People can and will just take your shit.

My major (falls into the STEM meme) is more or less a direct necessity to getting useful materials out of the ground; ores, oil & gas, groundwater. As a requirement for the major I had to pick up 3 programminng languages and have enough experience to fall back on that if need be. However I work in the field I studied for and I get to travel cross-country on company dime to job sites (which is sometimes just me and some other people, computers and equipment, and a tent for a week picking up data) and to cushy congresses where I get "updated" on the field's progress. Oil and mining companies pay incredibly well, as one would imagine. TL;DR Not everyone studied to be some mindless office drone in a finance institution or a doctor in postmodern African clay sculpting.

Get a (mini) fridge, hotplate, pot and pan (stash under bed or wherever if room is tight, pull out as need be). Congrats, you can do just about anything that doesn't require an oven. You can make rice pilaf, you can make stews, you can boil eggs to both keep as a snack in the fridge and force your drunken hookup to consume in their entirety before being allowed to leave your room. You can cook a steak (not very well), you can do stir fry (not very well), a pan-fried chicken breast. You get the idea. Also the minifridge lets you keep fresh fruit and vegetables around and a lot of that can be eaten raw.

For cooking meat high and fast specifically you have an additional (kinda shitty) options; a George Foreman grill, which was in every other dorm when I was back in college. Is it good yet? No, but better than a pan on a likely anemic hotplate for the purposes of cooking a piece of protein properly.

Do people really cook in their shared bedroom in college?
Fucking why?
Eat like carrots and bread dipped in hummus and stuff like that if you need to.

Why not get a lil gas burner and go outside and find a nice table to make a meal at if you want to cook? Most colleges have pretty comfy grounds right?
Seems crazy to cook in your fucking bedroom. Is there really no communal kitchen either?

Get yourself a five gallon jug, and make your own alcohol to save money. All it takes is water, sugar, and bread yeast. Add some raisins if you're worried about fusels.

Lol, is that you Black John? Still raping the Earth, huh? Morality don't make cents when dollars make more, right?

Anyways, to OP get a mini fridge, yes people will raid that shit but whatever. Your best bet is to take advantage of whatever cafeteria program they got, I mean, they got the ability to cook some decent shit and you're stuck with prison level gear, so leave it to the pros. Also, stock up up on napkins and plastic forks. Nobody does dishes.

And if that is indeed my negro friend from above, it's my job to make your job harder. Should have gotten into politics, bro.
