Dorm Life and Food

So, I've been in school about two and a half weeks.  Everything's going great: still trying to find a group of friends and adjust to the very different schedule of being a college student.  One of the downsides, I have found, is the food.  I must go out, rain or shine, in order to eat or I must eat whatever I can stash in my tiny fridge that also holds my three other roommates hordes of food.  Our campuses are split up and a ten minute bus ride away from each other.  The only "caf" on this campus (other than the starbucks we all go to for breakfast) is solely italian food.  It's good food mind you, but you can only eat penne in alfredo sauce so many days in a row.  I have also been stuffing our fridge with whatever I can get from the convenience store with whatever meal plan swipes I have left at the end of the week.  Currently, our fridge mostly has drinks: apple juice, milk, fresca, water, starbuck's coffees, and red bull (not mine).  Another issue I have is the lack of fruit, vegetables, and cheese, technically you can get apples and bananas from the convenience store, but I have been craving blueberries and raw string beans for a whole week now.  Also, today, thanks to m y nutrition class, I really want oatmeal and bran flakes in my room.

Anyway, I was going to the convenience store because I am going away this weekend and must use three swipes a day to use them all up for this week.  I started to get stuff like milk and apple juice and red bull for my roommates.  There's only so much you can swipe for.  I was looking at the meal plan snacks and microwave burritos, which I don't normally look at but I noticed they had this snack pack.  Apple slices, grapes, honey wheat pretzels, and cheddar cheese!  Obviously, I got it and have eaten it almost instantly.  I'm munching as I type.  I am in homey snack heaven.
