When you live in a dorm, cooking in college can be challenging at best. But sometimes you get to move out and into an apartment, where you not only tend to get a bit more space, you also get the chance to cook whatever you want to eat every day. For Bethany Imondi, a junior at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., cooking tasty, from-scratch meals on a budget is one of her favorite pasttimes. She squeezes it in around eight hours of classes for a double major and two jobs to keep her financially afloat. Bethany chronicles her cooking on the blog Big Girls, Small Kitchen.
