So, you messed up. Hours at the library passed you by and you missed the bizarre hours of Campus Dining. You don’t have time wait in the Grins line nor are you willing to shell out big bucks at Fido. You have one option: Munchie Mart. Instead of consuming your third Lean Cuisine microwaveable meal in a row, get creative with these quick and easy snack recipes using all that Munchie (or any campus minimart) has to offer.

Between studying, friends and extracurricular clubs, college can be crazy busy. If you don’t think you have time for a meal head over to any of Vanderbilt’s Munchie Marts for a quick fix. If you don’t go to Vanderbilt, these are common items that can be picked up at most CVS pharmacies or small grocery stores. Whatever you do, don’t deprive your brain or your body of the sustenance you need.
