When you’re in college, you don’t eat like a normal person. That’s just a fact. There’s no mom to cook you Stove Top stuffing and roast beef and carrots. It’s just you, your microwave and whatever cash you can scrounge up, if you aren’t on a dining hall plan.

So what does this mean? It means that if you’re about to enter the real world (sorry seniors), then you’ve got to take the first step in being an adult: recognizing you eat like a picky kindergarten kid. Why? you ask. Well, once you leave college and there aren’t a bunch of girls in classes and at keg parties, there are real, live grownup women. And they don’t like being taken out on dates to Taco Bell. You’re going to have to bring them out to eat a grownup dinner, maybe even involving candles, if you’re going to get anywhere. So check out the College Staple Foods You’ve Got to Leave at College.

Pizza

Why We Love It: It’s cheesy, pleasantly shaped in wedges, easy to grip (thank you God for pizza crust!), cheap, and you can usually get it delivered by some kid you can make fun of.

Why You’ve Got to Ditch It: Many women are conscious of their figures, or rather, of their mothers’ figures which have ballooned out into lardy nastiness over the past twenty some odd years. They don’t want to eat a sausage and meatball pizza with extra cheese. They want their hips to stay normal. And frankly, you do too.

Ramen Noodles

Why We Love Them: It’s the cheapest food known to man, you can cook it in the microwave, and there are so many delicious options (except of course for the shrimp flavored noodles.) If you don’t want to clean any dishes, you can even buy Cup O Noodles. Brilliant!

Why You’ve Go to Ditch Them: Many women don’t like the idea of being with a cheap guy. Or they think that if you’re not spending money, you don’t think they’re all that special. So when you pull out a big old 80 serving case of Ramen Noodles from Sam’s Club, they’re going to think you’re just in it for play. And maybe you are, but never let them know it.

Doritos

Why We Love Them: They’re crispy, they’re cheesy without having any cheese on them, you can carry them in a backpack, they require no cooking whatsoever, and they come in various serving sizes (snack size, party size, etc.) for the various instances in which a guy gets hungry.

Why You’ve Got to Ditch Them: You know that powdery fake cheese and/or ranch stuff that’s on Doritos? You know how you love licking it off your fingers when the bag is finished? Well, most girls don’t like getting messy. And what is that powdery stuff? Messy. Besides, do you really want Nacho Cheesier powder getting run through your hair at the end of the night? Maybe yes, but that’s weird.
