4 Signs That You Have An Addiction To Whole Foods

While George Washington University students may not have a dining hall, we'll always have Whole Foods.

4 Signs That You Have An Addiction To Whole Foods

Having Whole Foods on the GW dining plan is both a blessing and a curse. Students will easily brag to friends about the perks of getting dinner from the hot bar, while simultaneously crying at the register once we receive our receipt. No matter the cost, though, we still find ourselves going back. If you resonate with these five signs, you might find yourself in need of help.

1. You LIVE for the hot bar!

Before I came to GW, I never understood the obsession with Whole Foods. Overly priced healthy food never sounded particularly appealing to me. Finding the hot bar during my first week, however, completely changed my opinion. Unlimited access to mac and cheese? How could I resist. Similar to any other student here I find myself making trips to Whole Foods simply to fill a cardboard carton up with as much food as I can possibly fit inside.

2. You're always down for a Whole Foods trip

Have you ever been so comfortable in your bed that the thought of getting up seemed sinful? If the mentioning of a trip to Whole Foods still has you running for the door despite your comfort, than you might have a problem. I can truthfully say that I've done this. On many occasions. I'm learning to accept the problem.

3. You've made the long haul back from Whole Foods to your dorm

For those of us not living in Madison Hall, the walk back from Whole Foods with your groceries can be a killer. If crossing H Street doesn't kill you first, the weight of your bags may as well be the second most likely cause of death. With each subsequent trip, though, your arms become stronger and it gets to a point where nothing can get in the way of your love.

4. You've spent an inordinate amount of money there

No matter how much I complain about how much money I've spent at Whole Foods, I still continue to go back. I truly can't say what continues to bring me back, but only four weeks into the semester and most of my dining funds have been spent there.

Again, this article isn't sponsored, but if Whole Foods feels like handing over some free chocolate covered pretzels, I don't think I'd be in a position to say no.

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.
