If I had any advice to give to a college student in charge of his/her own destiny . . . meaning, getting fed, a big box of Bisquick or a generic version would be on the have-to-have list. Aside from the great recipes listed conveniently on the box, you can fix yourself up a tasty sweet treat with a bit of effort and not too much expense.
Cinnamon Sugar Twists
About two cups of Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, and enough milk to form a workable dough you can roll out. (no rolling pin? Take the label off a can and use the side of the can!)
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
Dust a working surface with a bit of dry Bisquick and roll out the dough to about 1/2inch thick. Generously sprinkle the surface of the dough with the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Fold the dough over once, pat down a bit, sprinkle with mixture, fold over and repeat. Do this four or five times to form sugary layers in the dough. Roll out a final time, cut into one or two-inch strips, twist slightly, and place on a greased baking sheet. (Okay, no baking sheet, use foil and care in getting it in and out of the oven! Vegetable oil spray is good for 'greasing')
Bake for approximately ten minutes in a 375-degree oven or until golden brown. They make a good snack or something to gobble down with a glass of milk before heading out to class.

I tried this recipe. Mine turned out more like Cinnamon Sugar . . . Lumps.
Too much milk, I suppose. Still tasty!
Having received a comment from someone who tried this recipe, I decided to mention that if the dough is too sticky, use a bit more Bisquik in the dough or knead it with some extra flour to make it manageable. Also, a combination of flour, sugar, and cinnamon for rolling it out, could do no harm!
