Whether they justĀ got dumped, aced their midterm, or you want to apologize for coming in at 3 am last night, every roommate could use a little extra lovinā. No matter the occasion, itās no secret that food is the path to the heart (especially for young adults ages 18-24). Hereās a list of treats that will earn you a nomination for Roomie of the Year.
1. Fries
Whether their loyalty lies with McDonaldās, In-N-Out, Wingstop, 5 Guys, or Jack in the Box, nothing says āI appreciate youā like crispy-salty-fried potato. Plus, their packaging makes sneaking a few on the drive to the dorms accessible. Hey, you earned it.
2. Juice
The gift you can feel good about giving. If you notice your roomie starting to sniffle, or if they haveĀ been cramming their brain with study guides, put a little pep in their step with someĀ cute and trendyĀ nutrients.
3. Krispy Kreme
As soon as thatĀ āHot Nowā sign illuminates, theyāre ready and prepared to make someoneās day. Krispy Kreme offers dozens of college-budget-friendly deals, coupons, and specials, and weāre certainĀ a dozen of these bad boys will yield an easy smile on your roomieās face.
4. Pizza
The mascot of college cuisine, hot and greasy pizza is a universal winner. At the end of the day, when the dining hall just seems too far, nothing brings a sigh of relief like a box full of cheesy yum. Treat your roommate to a hot meal toĀ be enjoyed on the dorm floor.
5. Hot drinks
I donāt need to stress theĀ impact caffeine can make in a studentās day. Whether your roomieās taste ranges from Starbucks to cold brew or frappes to green tea, thereās something about holding a warm beverage that makes you feel equally cozy inside.
6. Chocolate
When in doubt, cocoa it out. These little bars (or balls) of indulgence will mend the cracks in anyoneās heart, regardless of the grade, severity of a breakup, orĀ negative hours of sleep. Tape a little note on your roomieās fave flav, and wait for the appreciation train to roll in.
7. Mac ān Cheese
No, weāre not asking you to fork over your last box of Easy Mac. This is your roommate weāre talking about, the one who has endured spring semester thus far, and itās universal knowledge that mac ān cheese fills the voids in every heart and soul. Whether itās beloved Panera in a bread bowl (carbs are magical) or you feel compelled to whip up some homemade noms, cheesy pasta will make anyoneās day.
