because i got to college 4 days a week its hard t eat proper food, is it possible to take a cup of my mega gainer to college or are they best drunk striaght away. I think this is why my gains are slower than they could be because they only sell junk food and stuff nothing with the calories i need :D

You probably have that right!
 
As for bringing the gainer...you can...but for palatability sake you should experiment with pre mixing it or bringing it in a shaker and shakin it up fresh.
 
If you could get some quality food every 3 hours...that would help!
 
A (clean) chicken sandwhich, some mega...etc

Is that recent?
 
More than anything, it looks like you need to be eating more to match your training.

First, this is the worst angle for triceps...
 
I see all three heads pretty much so you have development there.
I can see the inner and outer sweep of the 3 heads.

 it seems to be getting bigger towards the middle of my arm and not lower down

Due mostly to the anatomy of the triceps...
 
If you are training smart and gaining weight then you will put on tricep mass!

Probably. 
 
Do you know how much protein you get?
How many calories you get?
Know your maintenance cals?
 
The limiting factor could simply be calories OR carbohydrate calories.
Rice, Oatmeal, baked sweet potatoes, baked potato, fruit...etc

Never too soon to learn!
Estimate weight x18-19 for muscle gains
 
Or go to this thread
http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/How_Many_Calories_Do_You_Need%3a_Calorie_Calculators_-_Includes_Quick_Spreadsheet_Too!/m_45013/tm.htm
At the bottom is a link to a spreadsheet...just put your info in there.
 
You can use this link to estimate body fat
http://www.linear-software.com/online.html
There is a tape measure box if you do not have calipers.
 
We'll get you squared away Cat!
I would start adding good carbs to your diet ...like a cup of oats as oatmeal every day...see if that changes you in a week.

Excellent work Cat!!!
This is a step closer to what you want!!!
 
How active are you?
 
Know your maintenance cals?...You said it came out to 2500 but did you use the right.."to gain" column with the right activity level?
 
You are neither gaining nor losing weight right now?
 
You say 2 meals are liquid...accounting for 1000 calories...what si the makeup of those shakes in cals/pre/carb/fat...?

How much a week?
How much did you weigh last week..how much now.
It is important to be specific here...after a week at this eating...what happens?
Start tracking this...once you get how to control your gains then you'll know!
 
Are you measuring body composition too ...this will help to tweak it if we know it!
 

i eat enough through the day as it is i dont know what i can do

I see some things that can make a difference.  Stick with me a momnet!
 
Milk speeds the rate at which calories are burned.
You drink at least 2 pints, just over 1/4 a gallon ..do you have more milk with other things?
 
There may be a way to get your body to be more responsive. 
I have succeeded in this with others (look at bigdmans insane attempt to gain weight)
