Chicken Tender Thief At Anderson University

"But I didn't do it!"

Chicken Tender Thief At Anderson University
Wings To Go DC

It was March 9, 2017. It started out like any typical Thursday night. I got out of my long and grueling graphic design class and headed towards the dining commons. I got a take out box and went to the main line. I got my pasta, vegetables; you know, the boring stuff. But then I came to the chicken tenders. Now a D.C. worker is usually there to serve the chicken tenders to the students.

"Wait, what did you just say?!" you may be be asking. That's right. At Anderson University we are not allowed to serve ourselves chicken tenders.

No other food in the dining commons has to be served to us by an employee. Just the chicken tenders. This is because if they don't claim dictatorship over the chicken tenders, students will get more than two strips.

"Why can't you get more than two strips?" you may be asking. I have no clue! I mean, for the amount of money we give to the school, we should be able to get however many chicken tenders we want! You would think that they could just make more. I mean, it's not like we are a huge university. We only have around 3,000 students.

I can't imagine what the chicken tender limit would be if this occurred at Clemson! "Oh you can only have one fifth of this chicken strip." Like what the heck?! How is anybody, especially a guy, supposed to be full by eating two chicken tenders? Also, we are adults. We should be able to get our own food.

See the problem is that Thursday nights are practically the only night out of the whole week that the D.C has anything good to eat. I have a suggestion. The D.C. should have good food every night, that way people don't go crazy when they see the delicious chicken tenders.

Anyways, getting back to the story...I got to the platter of chicken tenders and nobody was there to serve them to me. So, I simply got two chicken tenders myself. I wasn't going to get more than two because I actually have some integrity.

So right as I started to close my box, I heard this voice from across the dining commons calling out "EH EH EH!!" It sounded like a mother scolding her 4-year-old for taking a cookie out of the cookie jar. I looked over and there was a D.C worker coming straight for me.

I freaked out because I didn't know what I did...or should I say what I DIDN'T do! So she came over and was like "Baby, you can only have two chicken tenders." I gave her a very confused look. I opened up my box and said, "But I only got two..." Then she patted me on the back and said, "Oh, baby, I am sorry."

Other students had witnessed this whole thing fold out. What they didn't know was that I was falsely accused. So they thought I just tried to steal chicken. The D.C worker then proceeded to say to another worker "You need to watch these (chicken tenders) because once they (students) start coming in...MMMMMM!)

I was going to go across the D.C and get ice cream, but I didn't want to show my face, as everybody had heard me get reprimanded. So instead, I got two breadsticks. That's right! Two!

There isn't a set rule that you are supposed to get one, but it is just expected. "Not today!" I said to myself. Boy, did I feel like a rebel. Getting two breadsticks. Wow!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
