A Freshman’s Guide to Making Mac and Cheese in the Dorm
Welcome to Texas A&M! It’s your first time living on your own, and that means you’ll be doing your own laundry, waking yourself up, and, yes, making your own meals. Microwave mac and cheese is a college staple, so, as many of you look to improve your culinary prowess, here is our favorite recipe to help you out.
- Head over to Aggie Express to pick up your preferred brand of microwavable mac and cheese. We recommend the Hullabaloo location as it is open later for all your quirky midnight cry sessions.
- Peel back the plastic top, and admire your nutritious meal-to-be.
- Place the container in the microwave and wait for the blaring sound of your dorm’s fire alarm because you forgot to add water. As you walk out of the building and wait for the fire department to come, be sure to get to know the other students in your dorm,. Tthis is a great time to make friends!.
- When you can finally get back in, be sure to go back and add water to the mac and cheese cup, and try again.
- Mix in cheese powder. This adds a certain flavor that makes the pasta you’re making alone in your room studying for CHEM 101 almost edible.
And there you have it! Making mac and cheese in your dorm is a college rite of passage, and we wish you the best of luck starting freshman year!
— Hannibal Lechner
While Hannibal might come across as some psychotic murderer, he’s really just a University Honors student, got it? Yeah sure, he makes prolonged eye contact as you pass by the couches in the Lechner hallway, and his intense obsession with true crime podcasts might make you uneasy, but he’s maybe only a little bit of a sociopath at best. Leave the serial killer vibes to McFadden, okay?
