Creativity can be found in various places.

Don't ever settle for the predictable. When shopping in a grocery store for things you can cook in a microwave when, at 1am, you get the munchies, you should never stay within the box. Popcorn, its classic and everyone loves it, perfect for late night movie marathons too. Frozen dinners, always good for stimulating a "home made meal" of sorts. You can heat up drinks, hot chocolate for cold nights and the like, and re-heating left overs, like chinese food, NEVER JUST THROW OUT THINGS THAT YOU DON'T EAT WHEN YOU FIRST ORDER THEM. But really, the possibilities don't end there. Did anyone ever think that maybe a microwave could essentially be an oven. Better yet, because its small and therefore convenient for college students amongst others who may not be able to access an oven. In my experience birthdays can be celebrated with a microwave. No, not as a gift, but to make something as part of the party for the day. A cake, can be made. A traditional cake however, does not turn out well. On the other hand it is somewhat revolting. But with a little imagination a scrumptious chocolate  brownie cake can be created as a cake.  And on that note; chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, found in lots of places, and people's food, can be found not just in desserts, but even in the healthiest and most important meal of the day, breakfast foods. And what is the best chocolate involved breakfast food? Chocolate chip muffins. I don't know what happens at most colleges, but it would be my guess that most don't have hot breakfast every day of the week, and what happens if youre a breakfast buff and want breakfast food at night? What if you wanted a chocolate chip muffin at 10pm, and youre stuck in your dorm room? The answer? 'Nuke it. Yes, it is possible, delicious, creative, and smart to make chocolate chip muffins in the microwave. Of course you can't cook individual ones, so that means you would have to make a monster muffin. It's a yummy, large, filling snack, for at least two people. And really, what better way to bond with your roommate then over a giant muffin.
