After having so many things to do the last couple of weeks. I have found that food, especially snacking is something that I have been doing a lot more of lately. Even while writing this there is a KIND bar wrapper sitting next to my keyboard. I think, at least from what I remember, I did a blog similar to this last year talking about my favorite dorm snacks, however now that I am a senior a lot has changed. The workload, the stress, and most of all, the food. So to begin this list I would say that I need to start off with something that does in fact remind me of last year. Whether or not I put it on last year’s list is something that I am not sure as well as something that I have decided I am not willing to figure out. But without further ado I think I am going to get going. Also a quick disclaimer that none of these foods are in any particular order.
First off I have to go with this Ramen. It is a veggie Udon Ramen and oh my god it is so good, there’s chives, mushrooms, carrots, etc in it and I just don’t know. It has a level of spice which is good but it also has a really good taste as well so I would ten out of ten recommend it for your dorm ramen. I know that the title veggie ramen can put some people off but I say give it a try.
Second has to be these fig bars, I know they give off like whole foods crunchy vibes but they really just go so hard for no reason. The most excitement that I have gotten out of the last couple of my grocery store trips is that I get a different flavor each week, they are all fig bars but they each have their own respective flavor and I think that it just adds another layer of things about these bars I like, the one I chose this week was strawberry which has been my least favorite however I still enjoy them nevertheless. The first time that I ever got them was when I was looking for food to bring with me to the Mcmullens Young Writers Workshop, and ever since I just can’t stop, I lub them.
For the third spot I’m going to have to go with these Arizona ice tea gummies. I had no idea that these existed until like June and I wish that I had found them sooner. What I like most about these gummies is that they aren’t super sweet. I mean they are sweet, but some of these gummy brands make me feel sick after I eat them because they are so sweet. What I enjoy about them as well is some of the unique flavors like mango and green tea.
Next up is grapes, but when I say grapes they have to be the white ones. Or the green ones, I don’t know why they were called white grapes because I hate having to try to talk to people about them and explain “how much more I like the white ones.” If you get what I mean. But anyway I got off topic,one of my favorite aspects of these grapes is how refreshing they feel even after eating almost an entire bag. I find myself snacking on these for hours at a time, and I don’t even have to really feel bad about it because, you know, they’re grapes. I try to get these as much as I can because I really love fruit, but as of lately fruit has seemed to be getting really expensive so I have been trying more to get grapes because they are more affordable.
The next choice that I have is one that I just recently discovered. Even last year I have been trying to buy some form of vegetable just to eat on its own, most of the time that would turn into a bag of baby carrots, but those bags of carrots would do nothing but just sit in my fridge until they started to smell so I knew that I had to try something new. So, In decided to get one of those small veggie boards with some ranch, and do not ask me what the difference is because I could not tell you. But I feel like every time I am eating just a piece of cheese and some vegetables I am eating like Balkan breakfast and no I am not going to explain what that is but you should absolutely go watch one of those mukbangs because it is really interesting to watch.
