11 Thoughts While In The Dining Hall

These run through my head on almost a daily basis

11 Thoughts While In The Dining Hall

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
