Default Need help developing a routine to gain weight

Here's a short background:

I'm 19 years old, about 5'5 (short, I know), and weigh a whopping 110 pounds. I'm looking to gain atleast 10 pounds, maybe more if it's recommended. I want to bulk up from head to toe.

The reason? Well to be honest, I feel that my weight coupled with my height makes me look a lot "younger" than I'd like to look. I'll be starting my second year in college and want to get it going in the right direction. (I am a bit unhappy with myself due to my physical appearance.)

Hopefully everyone here can recommend the proper workout routine, the number of calories I should be eating a day, types of food I should be consuming, etc. I've included a picture of myself so that you can see where I'm starting.

Thanks.

Does it matter what I eat or can I just eat whatever I get my hands on?

Um..strongrob trolling?

You dont need to PM him or any of that nonsense...Look around here for advice...check out the bulking diet information on t-nation and eat a lot of food...thats about it

Try for about 150 grams of protein a day...basically you need to just be stuffing your face a lot.

Stop drinking water. Drink juice or kool-aid or beer or whatever. Eat until you throw up... Seriously. Get a watch and put something in your mouth every 2 hours while awake. Write it all down and count calories.

Forget about eating clean. It doesn't matter for what you want at this point. Eat everything you can get hands on. Rest and sleep as much as possible. Follow 5x5 or Rippetoe Starting Strength. Do those things and you'll be fine.

Step one: Buy ten jars of Adams' Natural Peanut Butter
Step two: Buy a lot of apples or bags of pre-sliced apples
Step three: Peanut butter + apples = eat 20 servings of PB a day
Step four: Starting Strength or Rippetoe log

Profit! And I didn't even leave out any steps.
