Dealing With Allergies and Dietary Restrictions in College

Dealing With Food Allergies and Dietary Restrictions in College

Step 1

Do your research. Look on your school's website and see if they have a director of university dinning services. I know mind does.

Step 2

If you are planning to make a visit to the school schedule a meeting with the head of dinning or director.

From my experience of doing this I meet with the director of university dinning and we went to one of the dinning halls and campus and my parent and I were shown how read the labels that they place on the food and where special allergy food was kept in the kitchen. I was also instructed to make the staff aware of who I was (my name) and what my allergies are (milk and choose to be gluten free). If the staff knows you and what your dietary needs are they can better help you when questions arise.

Special Meals

The dinning hall connected to my resistance hall offers a special menu for those with specific allergies. With that menu I am able to call the dinning hall and place an order from that menu and have it ready at a specific time. I know that this might not be available at every dinning hall, but make sure to ask and see if it is an option. Not all of the dinning halls at my university offer this.

Favorite Foods

Another feature that the dinning hall I most commonly eat at, will purchase specific foods for you upon request. For example, I eat salads quite regularly and use a non-dairy ranch, my university allows me to store this in a milk free refrigerator in the kitchen. The staff attempted to purchase it for me when I was out, but was unable to find it in the area. But having this as an option allows for you to still enjoy the treats and food that you are used to having from home.

Themed Meals

The dinning halls at my university also have themed dinners or lunches every couple of weeks. At these meals the kitchen staff also prepare the same or similar dished without common allergies.

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule After my first semester of college I have developed a cleaning routine that I have been able to keep up with. You can read my previous blog post about What I Learned In My First Semester of College . Over the past few months I have experimented and I am confident in the routine that I have created. Personalize When it comes to personalizing the schedule you could add or take out the different chores. For example I also wash my retainers weekly and monthly my roommate and I decorate the marker board on the outside of our door. We also only clean our mirrors when needed since we have found that they do not seem to become too dirty regularly. Something that I would make sure you sanitize every week would be the surfaces that you are constantly touching. That means light switches, door handles, and your desk. By doing this I managed to avoid getting sick when my roommate and other floor mates go sick. Another task that you could add ...

Puppy and Pet Bullet Journal Planner Spread Ideas

2022 Update: If you are interested in having your own Puppy/Dog Pet Planner you can purchase these spreads along with other ones in my Etsy shop Simply Paperless Digital Puppy/Dog Pet Planner . I would like to officially announce that a puppy has been added to my family. This past weekend my sister adopted a soft coated Wheaten Terrier. His name is Bear because he looks like a bear/teddy bear. Growing up my Grandparents, family members and friends had dogs, but we always had cats or flying squirrels. My twin sister and I always wanted a dog, her more than me. After living in on our own for almost a year she finally made the decision to buy one. The summer was the perfect time to get him because we would have time to train him and get used to living with him before we started junior year of college. Now that I have said all of that lets get into the planner portion of this blog post. Today I will be sharing tracker spreads that are perfect for tracking anything and everything in...
