Places To Eat On Campus At SUNY Geneseo

Anyone that's been at SUNY Geneseo for awhile has most likely tried every place to eat there is on campus. This article is more for the freshman, who are trying to figure out what there is out there. Tastes vary for everyone, so instead of reviewing these places, I'm going to describe them so that you can go to the places you're most interested in and try the food yourself. That way you can be the judge of whether you feel those places are worth going to eat or not. Every place I'm going to list accepts meal plan as payment.

1. Fusion (in the College Union)

Without a doubt, one of the most famous things to eat on campus is stir fry from Fusion. It's delicious, but beware, the fact is that the line for it takes a really long time. If you get in line, more often than not, be prepared to wait for about 30 minutes. Also, at Fusion is a sandwich area as well as something that I can most closely compare to a college version of Chipotle. Fusion is great for full on meals.

2. Chowhound (goes all around campus)

Chowhound is SUNY Geneseo's own personal food truck. It serves meals like burgers, salads, and wraps as well as smaller things such as french fries, fried ravioli, and mac and cheese bites.The food is great, but it's always difficult to pinpoint where exactly it's going to be at any given time.

3. Starbucks (in the College Union)

I'm not going to even bother with this one because, really, we should all know what Starbucks is and what's served there. But just like the stir fry line, be prepared for occasionally having to wait for quite awhile.

4. Books & Bytes (in the library)

Books & Bytes is mostly just quick food. Bagels, muffins, cookies, coffee, and then the refrigerated items that are sold all over campus. They also have an area where you can get different kinds of paninis and breakfast/brunch sandwiches. Books & Bytes is really just food to keep you going while you're at the library studying or for snacking on something between classes.

5. Uncle Vito's (call for delivery)

Uncle Vito's delivers pizza, buffalo wings, and pizza logs. It also delivers sweets like cinnamon twists. Their number is (585)-245-5160. Not many people use it, but it's so convenient. I love that I don't have to get out of my dorm to get my food.

5. MJ Dining Hall

At MJ, there are salads and smoothies served upstairs. Downstairs, there's a pasta area that is loved by everyone. Again, though, the line gets long and so does the wait. It also has an area that serves different things depending on what time of day it is. In the morning, it serves breakfast foods like omelets, bacon and eggs, and home fries. In the afternoon, it serves lunch foods like chicken tenders, grilled chicken sandwiches, and french fries. Starting this year, MJ is going to be open for dinner as well, so the same food served during lunch will be served throughout the rest of the day until it closes. MJ also has different special food for different days of the week. For example, they have Taco Tuesdays (literally my favorite day of the week).

6. Max Market (Letchworth Dining Hall)

Max Market is on the ground level of Letchworth Dining Hall. They have an area where they serve burgers and fries, an area where wraps and salads are served, an area where pizza and sandwiches are served. Finally, there's an area that serves ice cream and a variety of desserts. Max Market is a big favorite on campus as well.

7. Food Studio North (Letchworth Dining Hall)

Food Studio North is on the upper level of Letchworth Dining Hall. It's a pay-one-price location, kind of like a buffet. They serve traditional American food, Asian cuisine, and Italian cuisine. They also have vegetarian and vegan options, as well as a gluten-friendly kitchen and a kosher kitchen. In additinon, there is an area designated for sweets and ice cream. It's always a gamble whether the food is going to be good there or not on a particular day. Sometimes you leave really satisfied, other times you leave feeling like you wasted your meal plan. There's a digital menu right at the bottom of the stairs so you can check it out before going upstairs.

And previously, there was also Red Jacket Dining Hall and Southside Cafe near where all the freshman housing is, but that's been closed for renovations, leading to extended hours for all the other places on this list.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
