Quick and Easy Recipes for College Students

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Buffalo chapter.

no, i am not a chef, these recipes came from the internet

(what would we do without you, internet?)

Living off-campus has meant that I have to do a lot more cooking for myself, which has advantages and disadvantages. One thing I dislike is the amount of time it can take to cook a meal, so I prefer quick, simple, and delicious recipes as a college student. I love finding recipes online and on TikTok, then experimenting! My experiments sometimes are a huge miss or success (it depends). I love my mother’s cooking, and I miss having those home-cooked meals. However, with more practice and experimentation, I hope to be a fantastic cook like her one day.
