As college students, most of us don’t even have a kitchen. Every other floor in my building had a common room with a stove that worked – sometimes. But when the stove wasn’t working, we could always count on having a functioning microwave, which is really all a college student needs. Check out these recipes that only require a microwave and mug for you to eat all day long.
