An Open (And Angry) Letter to Kimball

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my lifeline and you took that away.

An Open (And Angry) Letter to Kimball

When coming back to school in the fall it is really hard to get used to Kimball food. Their options are either too bland, too greasy, or just not easy on the stomach. I feel kind of bad for the toilets on campus the first few weeks back because that food goes straight through. That is why I always took solace in my ride or die Kimball option: cereal. Whenever I was having a rough day of classes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch (or as my friend calls it CTC) would consistently be there for me.

If I hated all other menu options that day, I could just fill up on Cap'n Crunch. It was a staple in my diet because cereal will never bother my stomach. And also, it tastes friggin delicious.

As you can imagine, I was heartbroken when I returned to Holy Cross and realized that THEY REPLACED THE GOOD CEREAL WITH DISGUSTING KNOCK-OFFS.

Honestly, what is the point? Is it a cost saver? How expensive can name brand cereal actually be? Holy Cross raises the cost of the meal plan by $1,000 and takes away good cereal. Or maybe it is a ploy to inspire students to spend more money at the lobby shop because they can't live without dat good cereal #cerealgate.

Kimball, why did you do this to me? Out of all the things you could have cut corners on why make it a staple in every student's diet. I am such an unhappy camper. I will now gladly use your "suggestion box" to voice my disappointment in your terrible choice. I encourage everyone else who misses the taste you can see to do the same. Join me in the off brand cereal boycott. I have faith in us, let's rise together and #bringbackcereal2016.

Sincerely,

A Hangry Crusader.

O Cap'n, my cap'n I miss you so.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
