What kinds of foods/snacks should I stock my dorm room with?

Microwaves, unfortunately, are not allowed, nor are coffee-makers, toaster ovens, or those things. However, there is a microwave on the basement level of my res hall. I like to eat healthy, but do admittedly enjoy treats too! I am sharing a fridge with two other roommates, and it is my fridge (the other roommates are bringing the TV, and the other is bringing a rug)

What kinds of snacks should I have in the fridge? I also bought a few tight-lock containers to seal away other food that does not need to be refridgerated.

BQ(bonus question): what odds n ends do you think are needed in a dorm room I.E. saftey pins, neosporin for cuts, etc?

    When i first came to college, I stocked my fridge with healthy snacks like fruits with yogurt, veggies with dressing. If the fridge has a little freezer area you should stock it with fruity popsicles. Peanut butter is always good to have around too. I know you'll have to go all the way to the downstairs microwave, but instant oatmeal, raman noodles, popcorn packs, 90 second rice packs, mac and cheese and soups are also good to have around. Keep cereal and milk around too. It's easy and it can be a meal or a snack. Other non perishable food that's good to have around is tuna, canned veggies, dried fruits (raisins).

    Keep plenty of sticky notes for reminders and notes to your roomies. You should bring a lamp, some picture frames, thumb tacks, a little staples, scissors, maybe a cushion for your desk chair (if you have one), a cork board, plenty of blankets or a personal fan (just in case you and your rommies don't agree on the temp of the room), flashlight, drawer organizer, first aid kit, small tool kit, super glue, batteries, full length mirror to hang over the door, or an organizer to hand in the closet or on the door, a dry erase message board for you and your roommates to communicate, painters tape in case you want to put things on the wall, hand-held vacuum,

    fruit! go out and buy some apples, oranges, strawberries, or your favorite fruits to put in the fridge. i would invest in plenty of peanut butter. (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and its amaaazing with apples)

    ramen noodles are the other easy way to go, but they arent too good for you.

    get crackers, cheese sticks, pita chips, all the snack foods you enjoy. get some fat free yogurt and pudding, reduced fat cookies for your sweet tooth. lean cuisines and other frozen meals might have to be necessary at times too.

    you should get some ramen noodles and buy a good bunch of dozen of eggs, I always cook ramen with eggs everytime when I'm hungry.
