It sounds like a joke, but I'm completely serious. Cereal is so undervalued, at least by me. Perhaps the rest of the world has loved cereal with great abundance all of this time, and I simply missed the memo. Who knows. All I am saying is cereal is awesome, and it solves so many of the eating dilemmas I face as a college student:
Nothing good to eat for dinner? Frosted Flakes. When you overfill your bowl because you can't properly work the dispenser (...because I've heard this happens to some people *cough*) just nibble at the surplus while chatting with your friends. No spoon necessary. Just when the consistency is getting a little repetitive, the bowl should be empty enough to add milk. At this point I suggest using a spoon.
No time to go to the cafeteria for lunch? Frosted Mini Wheats. Eat them out of the box. They're tasty and have tons of fiber, so you'll know when you're full and you won't be hungry again until dinner.
Late-night studying fuel? Multi-grain cheerios. Fill up a small ziplock bag and munch until thoughts begin running through your head again.
Filling and not fattening dessert/snack? Cheerios, frozen light cool whip, frozen berries. Mix and enjoy.
The best part of it all? Cereal is cheap, if you consider how many servings you get per box. And it's so tasty that you will consume it well before it ever comes close to its expiration date. (That said my school is convinced that you can mix any almost-expired cereal with melted marshmallows and turn it into yummy dessert bars. I can't say they're wrong.)
