GCU May Have Gotten A Taco Bell, But I Will Never Go There

It may be cheap, but that doesn't mean its good

GCU May Have Gotten A Taco Bell, But I Will Never Go There

GCU has recently gotten a Taco Bell on campus at the beginning of this semester and I will never understand why, of all the restaurants to put on campus, they had to put a Taco Bell. No matter what people say or how much they try to hype it up, Taco Bell is just not good food.

I have been to Taco Bell before in the past and I don't ever need to go again. The food isn't that great and yeah it's cheap, but that is about the only thing that Taco Bell has going for it. Also, I will never ever understand why students felt the need to camp outside of Taco Bell to be the first ones served when there is one five minutes away.

I will admit it is nice that they kept pretty much the same menu from what I have heard about it, so that way it is still cheap for the students who do like Taco Bell. But even the cheap food will not pull me into wanting to eat there. I grew up in San Diego in the center of Mexican food and Taco Bell is nothing compared to that. Now I know people are going to say that "It's fast food Mexican food. It's not supposed to be the best." But you can go to most other "fast food" Mexican restaurants and it will still be better than Taco Bell.

It may be cheap and it may still be considered some form of Mexican food, but I just can't get behind it. Partially because of the food I grew up with and partially from experience, Taco Bell is not something that I will ever be able to get behind. I know this is an unpopular opinion, even amongst my friends it is. They've tried to get me to go and I still refuse.

Also, I absolutely love Mexican food, but why did we have to add another Mexican food restaurant when we already have one. I mean come on the Qdoba and Taco Bell are like 20 feet away from each other. We have a good variety on the campus of food right now. Why couldn't we have added some other style of restaurant?

In the end, GCU is going to continue to add whatever restaurants they want, but I will continue to not agree with their decision to put a Taco Bell on campus. I think that there are so many better food options that they could have put there instead. The only thing I can say that is nice about it is the fact that the menu is still cheap, so that will help students when they start to run out of dining dollars. But even then I don't know how that would make it much better because yeah it's cheap food, but it's not good food. So is there really a win in that situation? I don't think that there is.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
