I was there, with the breakfast problem...I came to the conclusion that toast
was the answer. I got different types of bread, different things to put on
it. Natural jam (none-to little sugar used), peanutbutter, butter...That's
about it, but changing it around is fine...I find the toast is easy, throw it
in, finish getting ready, pop it out (my dumb toaster doesn't pop the toast
back up, so I've got it timed to the time of donning my shoes and coat, and
it's perfectly toasted for me) I dont' know if you can/actually do have a
toaster (or toaster oven) in your dorm, but it's a great replacement for the
pop tarts (That's what I was doing) I also have an apple, sometimes hold
it 'till I get a little hungry down the road. The apple's a great pick-me-up
too (today I ran out, and am falling to sleep at my desk). Not the best
breakfast you can have, but for someone who just doesn't have the time to sit
down and eat (and yeah, everyone COULD have that time, but I am NOT a morning
person, and it takes me an hour to get up) it's pretty good. If that's not
your cup of tea, how about one of those soups to go, if you have a
microwave...The Cambel's ones that are in the little cup...Not the best soup
out there and pricey for what it is, not a traditional breakfast, but they
heat up in a minute and a quarter and are easy to run with. I'm just
throwing out ideas...I keep a pack of those at work for the times I forget to
pack a lunch or something. I can't think of anything else off the top of my
head...Hopefully this'll influence you, or jar some memory of some great
foodproduct that you'd love to have for breakfast and just didn't realize
it.
