It's Time Troy University Fixed The Horrible Attitudes And Food Quality At SAGA

All of the money we pay for a meal plan, and this is what they try to serve us?!

I like it here at Troy University, but the meal plan that I chose sucks. It's the Cart Blanche with 25 flex dollars and all the SAGA swipes. As a freshman, I had no idea which meal plan would be the best because I obviously don't know much about Troy. My parents really encouraged it because they liked that I wouldn't run out of food. I had heard bad things about this specific meal plan, but I chose it anyway.

They served us food at SAGA during our orientation sessions, but I never had food that good again.

Once I got to school it was decent for the first two weeks, and then out of nowhere everything tasted terrible. I remember I went to SAGA for breakfast, and one of the cooks made me an omelet. That omelet was loaded with so much oil that it fell apart and was now scrambled eggs. Imagine wet looking eggs swimming in a puddle of oil, that is what my eggs looked like. They soaked the omelet in oil and then threw even more on top. It was disgusting.

And on top of that, the employees there have TERRIBLE attitudes.

As I am in line waiting for my Trojan ID to get swiped, I hear the worker literally complaining about how all of the students get on her nerves and basically how she hates her jobs. I usually thank everyone for serving me, but that day I could only manage to give this woman a look of disappointment. I'm sure working at SAGA is in no way a glamorous job, but there's no reason for them to have the horrible attitudes they do. I've had jobs that I disliked, but I made the best of it. I know these people can too, and if it's just that awful, it's time to find a new job that better fits their work needs.

I always feel cheated on my meals, too.

One day, I was STARVING. The line to get into the dining area was wrapped around the room, so I waited like 45 minutes to get some food. I finally get to the front, and the cook puts one tiny piece of meat onto my plate. I asked for another piece, and the cook refused to give it to me. They say your meal plan is unlimited, but it doesn't feel like it when SAGA gives a college student a serving size of a 4 year old. At this point, I was done with SAGA. I honestly though starving would be a better option than eating there or eating out because I just couldn't deal with this anymore.

If you can, avoid SAGA. There is NOTHING good about eating here.

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.
