The dining hall is an essential part of the college experience. Most colleges require you to be on a meal plan for the first year or two so you're probably going to spend a lot of time there. Here are some of the most common thoughts I have when I'm in the dining hall at Clark.
1. Wow I'm hungry.
2. Oh my God everyone is walking in 7 different directions I'm going to drop my food at some point.
3. Phew, I didn't drop my food.
4. How have I been here 6 months and I haven't dropped my foot yet?
5. I probably shouldn't have a bagel today, but I'm going to anyway.
6. Why are the cinnamon raisin bagels always gone???
7. The juice machine switched where the cranberry juice and raspberry lemonade are and my whole world has turned upside down.
8. Oh heck there's magic bars today.
9. Oh heck there's Oreo bars today.
10. OH HECK there's heavenly dirt today.
11. You see, I wanna be healthy but the salad bar makes me so sad.
12. Wow I hate the smell of eggs.
Okay let me explain this one. No one in my family likes eggs so I grew up never having eggs in any form at breakfast. They smell weird as hell.
13. There's Cocoa Puffs, but I'm actually going for Apple Jacks??? What is with this new Apple Jacks obsession??
14. Mac and cheese today, bless up!
15. How come the mac and cheese was gross at lunch but it was good at dinner????
16. Look Mom and Dad, I'm eating green beans.
17. Look Mom and Dad, I'm eating broccoli.
18. Look Mom and Dad, I'm eating carrots.
19. Is it grilled cheese and tomato soup day because that is the best lunch of all time do not lie to me.
20. I hope no one judges me for putting ketchup on my grilled cheese when there's no tomato soup with it.
21. Why are the apples so small and sad??? I just want some decent fruit.
22. Will my roommate ever get sick of cantaloupe and honey dew?
23. I want pasta but do I really want to wait like 3 minutes? Not really.
I hope you're picking up that I'm incredibly sarcastic and these are clearly first world problems. Do not take this seriously.
24. WHY HASN'T ROCKBOT BEEN ON LATELY??? I NEED MY TUNES. I NEED TO MAKE MY PEERS LISTEN TO "ALL STAR" BY SMASH MOUTH.
25. What's the point of Sundae Sunday when there's no hot fudge or whipped cream?
26. Why do all the jocks drink blue Powerade?
27. "Is there anything good today?" "Well I'm forcing myself to have a salad, so, no."
28. "How do you mess up oatmeal?"
29. Always feel low-key judged when I ask a cafe employee for one thing at their station of like 5 things. Don't judge me I just want some green beans.
30. The ice cream parlor employee in me wants to scream at everyone that tries to put soft serve in a sugar cone. NO. THAT IS IN CORRECT. IT GOES IN A CAKE CONE.
31. The movie theater employee in me really wants to dump the popcorn in the popcorn machine when the cafe employee doesn't get to it fast enough. *flashbacks of burning popcorn*
