I have a present for you
Funny, I went the opposite route and got a cast iron with no sides on it. Love this thing and use it for about everything.
The only cons:
Use a lodge cast iron griddle its versatile and will last longer than a few generations

Get a big Crock Pot.
Then make a [beef stew] (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/14685/slow-cooker-beef-stew-i/). That recipe should yield about 6 servings.
Get up early Sunday morning, toss everything in the slow cooker around 7am, have dinner at 7pm. Put the rest into individual serving size Tupperware containers, some in the fridge, some in the freezer. Bring the frozen ones to school for lunch.
That should take you no more than 15-20 minutes to prep and start cooking.
Cereal for breakfast is fine but you can do better. Learn to cook eggs. I'm partial to Gordon Ramsay's scrambled eggs. I usually have mine on a toasted English muffin hand I'll throw a few strawberries or some other friends on the plate top complete it. Takes no more than 10 minutes to start the day right.
Buy a whole bunch of chicken breasts, 3-5 pounds depending on how much you love chicken. Cook them to at a time in your cast iron skillet. 6-7 minutes on a side. Should take about 45 minutes to do them all, but since they just sit there for 6 minutes at a time, you can be doing other things too, like putting 8 scoops of rice into your Instant Pot and filling it with water. Meanwhile you'll also be able to cut up a bunch of tomatoes and make some home made salsa.
When the chicken is all done, you can start shredding it with a couple of forks (you can also shred some chickens while the other are cooking if everything else is done.
Put the rice, chicken, and homemade salsa into separate Tupperware containers in the fridge. It's pretty basic but chicken and rice with salsa is pretty good in a pinch.
Get a griddle, buy a big 5 pound bag of shredded cheese at Smart and Final along with a big package of flour tortillas. Toss a totilla on the griddle on medium heat, put a handful of cheese and some of your shredded chicken on it. When it starts getting melty fold it in half. Boom! Quesadilla!
The fact is, cooking for your self is a skill. You'll suck at it so badly when you are first starting out and it does, of course, take more time than walking into a buffet with your meal plan or having some Pad Thai delivered, but it's worth it. It will always be cheaper than the alternatives and, once you get the hang of it, it'll be much better than food you'd get at all but the very most expensive restaurants. Not to mention the pride you'll be able to take in the skill you develop.
Honestly, during the school year, I probably spend 4-5 hours a week cooking. I don't do much, if any, big bulk prep work because I haven't felt so crunched for time that it was necessary. When I do get swamped with exams or other school stuff, I can always order a pizza.
The fact is, unless your parents are financing a lavish lifestyle for you, you're going to have to learn to cook. My girlfriend and I usually spend between $100 and $150 per week on groceries and go out to eat (maybe) once a week.
If we were going out or ordering in for every meal... We'd have to double or triple our food budget. So, thought of another way. If we save $200/week by cooking and I only have to cook 5 hours/week, it's like I'm paying myself $40/hour to cook, not bad!
I bought a comal like this one on a whim a few years ago. It's great for quesadillas and comes in handy for a bunch of other small things.
Me neither...had to look it up on amazon.com
It's the thing they bring fajitas out on in some mexican resaurants.
No it isn't. I don't have a referral account

Bought this just for tomahawks - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00008GKDN/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1499816998&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=cast+iron+skillet+lodge&dpPl=1&dpID=31%2B-Mm1ZI-L&ref=plSrch
Cast iron.
Look buy it once, buy it for life.
If you keep it up every about 5 year or less, you will waste a lot of money.

So, lets say you buy a $25 pan every 3 years. So, about life time of 50 years of cooking (for you). 50/3 = about 17. Then 17 x $25 = $425.
Versus buying one good cast iron pan for about $20 (which can last a lifetime) or a really great stainless-steel for $150.

I love this one as a basic "breakfast pan".

That top one looks like a regular round CI griddle.

If you are going to get a dutchie - I'd go with enameled. You are limited in what you can do with a naked cast iron DO. No acids = no braising.
The 10.5 inch round griddle is another go to - I use it for tortillas, pancakes, crepes, warming my homemade English muffins. The occasional egg (they work well for making omelets too).
The Green enameled 6 qt Lodge dutch oven is super cheap right now. Just sent one as a wedding gift, 38 bucks. The other ones are 50-60 bucks.
Finally, I love my side dish master I use this for small sides (think 2 or 3 people). I also use it EVERY time I use my grill. It can be used for oven to table dishes too (think single serving enchiladas). And it's the new heat enhanced material - so it doesn't rust. They say you can put it in the dishwasher - but I don't have one.
My favorite piece is this lodge round griddle. I sanded the surface and reseasoned it with crisco and couldn't be happier. I use it almost everyday.
I'm quite fond of this one for eggs:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00008GKDN?pc_redir=1395344132&robot_redir=1
Fits up to 4 over easy and also the perfect size for omelets.
Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-L9OG3-Griddle-Pre-Seasoned-10-5-inch/dp/B00008GKDN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525347254&sr=8-1&keywords=cast+iron+crepe+pan
what kind of breakfast stuff - bacon and eggs? i might be in the minority here but I think a 10'' griddle is the best breakfast cast iron
Sure, the only problem is the surface is not as smooth so it makes the oil/butter covering more important. My only problem with the cast iron over the non stick is the lip is more like a fry pan than an egg pan with a rounded edge so getting eggs out can be a pain. If it is only for eggs, pancakes, etc a cast griddle pan would be best.

I thought a "griddle" referred to a "griddle". Did you even click on the "griddles" section of the link you just posted? They are all flat surface, none of them are grill pans. For example, here is the exact cast iron griddle I have. A griddle is, by definition, a flat surface.
For example, I have built up my kitchen a bit slowly and have a lot of random gadgets and a few different pans and posts, but I would say 80% of my cooking is done using the following:
I would advise AGAINST a microwave and toaster oven. Instead, purchase one of these:
Lodge cast iron griddle .... only $15.
When you have leftovers, heat your gas range to 375, throw the food on the griddle and slide it in there for 10 minutes. You now have food that is WAAAY more delicious than microwave reheated leftovers. And I think toaster ovens tend to use more energy and they are kind of small, so don't do that!!!
Seriously, I haven't had a microwave for over 5 years, and I don't miss it at all. I wouldn't even think of buying one ever again. Plus, there is possible evidence that they wreak havoc on the nutritional value of your food.
Also, EXTRA COUNTER SPACE!!!!
I have a round one like this that I use relatively frequently, mostly for heating tortillas or other non messy things. It's also perfect for using as a pizza steel.
