12 Stages Of Going To The Dining Hall, As Told By 'The Office'

If you go to a college where the food is amazing and you're content with the offerings of the dining hall, please stop reading.

If you go to a state school where there is simply no budget for decent food, or a private school that's just either cruel or lazy... this is the article for you. Keep reading and weep with me.


1. Walking in, and realizing you're actually paying money for the culinary monstrosities you're about to witness.

2. Trying to be optimistic as you're looking over the delectable choices.


3. Seeing something that looks semi-good, then walking up to it and seeing a fly sitting on it.


4. Finally accepting that nothing else looks edible and you're going to have to eat yet another salad.


5. Making your sad salad and seeing the vegetables floating in their own filth water.


6. When the salad tongs spazz out in your hand and you drop onions all over the floor right as a large group of people walk by.


7. Finally finishing crafting your half-edible salad, and trying to convince yourself it doesn't look TOO bad.

8. When the only open seat is next to somebody who's breathing heavily and singing to themselves.


9. Sitting down and getting ready to dig in to your ... 'lunch.'


10. Powering through the most horrific meal of your life, knowing that the one you have tomorrow will probably be worse.


11. Finishing the last bite and simultaneously wondering why you haven't transferred schools yet.


12. When the best part of the meal comes - leaving the dining hall with an ice cream cone.

But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
