11 Thoughts While In The Dining Hall

These run through my head on almost a daily basis

11 Thoughts While In The Dining Hall
Google

Rewind back to my tour at Saint Leo University, when we walked through the dining hall and the student ambassador was talking it up. She was saying how it was so amazing and talking about all of the different stations that we had. At that point I was getting excited because from the rumors I was hearing from other colleges, dining halls were pretty bad. At this point, Saint Leo's was looking pretty good. At the end of the tour they let my mother and I eat there and I was thoroughly impressed that day with the quality of the food compared to other dining halls I had eaten in. So I was super pumped to start my semester and finally accept my unlimited meal plan. Think back to pre-freshman year and how incredible it sounded to have the freedom to eat to your heart's desire without paying for each individual item. Also, the idea that unlimited icee's were available really hyped me up for finally moving into Saint Leo.

Now that I go to saint Leo University and have eaten there multiple times a day for a year, I realized that many of the same thoughts run through my head whenever I walk in. I thought that I would share some of them with you. Some of these will probably go through your head as well.

1. Why is there nothing good to eat?

Then I just give up and eat a burger.

2. On the contrary, why are there so many good choices?

It's a hit or miss, you either want to eat everything or nothing... all at once.

3.Why are they always out of blueberry bagels?

They're eternally out of my favorite item on the menu. Seriously, how is this even possible?

4. This is the best macaroni n' cheese I have ever eaten.

Is it wrong to go get a third helping?

5.Why are there so many people here

Seriously. What's the occupancy of this place?

6.Is it really necessary to leave out one slice of pizza for two hours instead of putting out a new pizza?

No one is going to eat it. Were all waiting for the new one.

7. Why must the stir fry take five hours to make?

Believe us, the Chinese station would be perfect for additional stir fry. It is 100% worth the wait though.

8.Does this syrup taste like melted plastic to anyone else, or is it just me?

It might possibly be the nastiest food item Saint Leo makes.

9. I'm late to class. I wonder if they're gonna care if I take this sandwich out.

To be honest, I don't really care. Because I'm hungry.

10. All i need is a place to sit

It's such a small school though, so you always find someone you know to sit with.

11. Who eats dinner between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. anyway?

I am looking at you Friday, Saturday and Sunday cafe' hours.

All of this aside though I love the fact that my school's food tastes like actual food. From what I hear from friends at different schools, their food is really bad. So in comparison, my dinning hall is pretty amazing and I will happily enjoy my unlimited meal plan for the rest of my time on campus.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
