When feeling stressed or overwhelmed cooking can be a fun activity. While food shouldn't be your coping mechanism every time something goes wrong, it's perfectly fine to whip up some delicious (and sometimes not so healthy) food when you're desperate. However, this can be difficult at times in college. Finding time to eat healthy meals can be difficult for any college student. Microwave desserts, meals and snacks are perfect recipes for when you're in a time rush or don't have access to an oven.
