Cooking on a college student’s budget is often difficult to do, but hopefully these recipes might help inspire some new additions that are relatively cheap and can last a couple of days.

On Market Street in San Francisco near the Montgomery BART station, there’s a tiny, sleek storefront with a black sign reading “CAFE X.” It blends in with pretty much every other piece of brutalist, almost oppressively gray concrete architecture around it.

Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist, just a student sharing what I found on the SF State campus. You’ve heard it before: “Pack your food, it’s healthier. You’ll save time and money.” But sometimes, it’s not that simple, and packing your food doesn’t automatically mean it’s health...

With a dry and sweltering atmosphere, only two words can describe this Bay Area moment - disgustingly hot. Out comes the cargo shorts, bro tanks, and flower crowns. No, we’re not at Coachella. We’re in San Francisco, and it just hit 72 degrees. The sun’s blazing rays make me feel grimy and parch...

By Nicole Dobarro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGDl--J-f-k It’s 3 a.m. and it’s been a long night of inhaling cheap whiskey, tolerating the hoots, hollers, and enduring the judgement of walking barefoot in the Mission because those heels just aren’t worth it. It’s time to go home. But ...

It’s an expensive lunch in San Francisco. There’s that seven dollar sandwich, that six dollar salad- convenient but hardly satisfying. Fast food has taken away our desire to cook. Many blame it on high produce prices- or simply not having time to shop. With the new trend of "going local" when it...
