This is a list for creating meals/having food in your dorm on your days off. These are just ideas, because I use to do my laundry and cleaning on my Thursday night, enjoy my Friday night or relax, Saturday was my day out, then Sunday was my hermit day where I just rested in my dorm.

Somedays I went to the pub and ordered food there so it was closer for me. It just really depended on how tired I was and if I had 1 day off or 2.
