High school during lunch

A high school experience told through mozzarella sticks.

High school during lunch


Yay, I'm so excited!! My first lunch period in High school. I heard great things about it. I also heard they give large portions, and it's hard to eat them. But my parents said this school has the best lunch, so I went along with what they said. Before going to the cafeteria, I watched many YouTube videos on how to eat effectively and calmly. Some things I learned is that you can't eat it straight away. You got to divide the time and can't procrastinate in eating it since we have limited time.



The lunch lady gave me my lunch tray with four big mozzarella sticks, some fruits, some dessert, and some green vegetables, which I hated. I couldn't believe the size of them. In other schools, they are medium size, but these are BIG. They were filled with lots of materials( double layers of bread with a golden top and inside was (from what I have heard) filled in with hot white cheese that melts your mouth. Let's see if I can finish them.

Mozzarella #1: This one was easy and delicious. It didn't have a lot of bread on top. I enjoyed it because I made new friends and quite a while to finish. My friends and I exchanged snacks and helped each other out with anything.

Mozzarella #2: This one was a bit big. And I was getting a bit full. Some of my friends tried to hide it because they are already too lazy to finish it. But the lunch lady caught them and yelled at them. She gave them the whole speech on how this is important for students and you don't eat, you are going to be hungry all the time, and you are going to beg people for a piece of food. I hate this because this is so annoying. They say the same thing over and over again. If I had a penny for how many times they asked me what I'll have for dinner, I'd be rich!! Like how am I supposed to know that? I just started eating my mozzarella stick. Give us a break!!!

Mozzarella #3: Ok, so I know I said before that they were all big, but THIS was big. There were many materials on it, and they gave us a small amount of time to finish it. On top of that, we had to eat that disgusting, wretched blob of vegetables. Apparently, according to the lunch ladies, it's essential to eat it, and it's going to help you during your dinner.

I almost threw away this material. My body was hurting, and my mind was disorganized and stressed out. I cried because it was too much. I was mad that the lunch lady expected us to finish all this in a short amount of time. AND FOR WHAT?!? So parents can see you did food and give you a good dinner. I just can't anymore. I almost gave up until my friends gave me reinforcement. After I was finished, my friends told me that the next one would be a lot easier.

I'm looking forward to that.

Mozzarella #4: This was the most excellent mozzarella stick I ever had. Even better than the first one. The lunch ladies gave us a small amount since they sat how much we ate. Some people got mozzarella-itis. They got lazy and procrastinated on eating it. I kind of got it and didn't care since all the hard work was counted in the first 3. This last one was a piece of cake. (they also gave us a piece of cake). Savored the last and bite and thought about this lunch period and the four sticks I ate. I thank all the lunch lady and friends that helped through the way.

If you don't feel like you can finish your mozzarella stick, don't give up fight hard. Ask for help. Everything will be alright.

The bell rang, and lunchtime was over. Time to go to college and eat excellent stuff : )

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.

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.
