I'm going to college and I'm very excited! But I'm also really nerveous. And mostly because of food. Maybe I'm over thinking it but I'm freaking out thinking about food to buy for college. Is this just me or...? If anybody has any I will happily take it!!

Hey! I'm going to college in the fall! I just got sleeved yesterday but I've been planning on buying a personal blender to make smoothies with! I know it'll be a struggle going to the caf and seeing all of the delicious food though

Yes, I'm starting in ~2 weeks. I'm looking forward to actually having a life/daily schedule again and my dorm gym, but definitely not excited to come up with a story to explain to people why I can only eat 3 bites of anything (or the constant tummy noises!)

I agree with the blender idea, haha. I think it's the kind of thing that will get a lot of use Also getting tiiiny tupperware containers from places like TJ Maxx and keeping little protein-heavy Snacks on hand throughout the day while on the go, since meals are small and days are long. And investing in a nice Water bottle. Aside from that I guess we'll see how it goes? I'm planning on cooking for myself pretty much every meal but I know little past making macaroni from the box, so I guess it'll be a learning experience in multiple ways

I am not in college, but I worked in higher ed for years. Don't be afraid to make friends with the food services folks. Some schools or vendors have a dietitian/nutritionist on staff. If you need help making choices, have special requests, or need info I would be very surprised if they wouldn't be happy to help. Best of luck with school!

Hey guys, just checking in and seeing how everybody is doing? I've been in school now for a week and a day! It's going pretty good. Kinda hard since it is a drinking school. But good. Ima join the dietetics association, and I'm majoring in nutrition btw! Thanks for all the tips! Sorry if something don't make sense I'm typing on my ipod! Lol
