Lets Talk About The McVegan

A delicious, wonderful McDonalds veggie burger.

Lets Talk About The McVegan
Annika Hogstrom

I spent the beginning of my summer studying abroad in Stockholm, Sweden--and it was amazing. Like most college students (and Americans), I wanted some McDonalds.

As a vegetarian, I went in and expected to to get my usual--an egg McMuffin with no sausage and a hashbrown. When I saw on the menu the thing I have been dreaming of since I stopped eating meat four years ago-A fast food veggie burger. If I want a veggie burger that I do not have to make myself I have to go out to a restaurant, get seated, and pay way too much for a patty made out of beans and corn. But not with the McVegan.

In Stockholm I could just go up to any McDonalds and have a veggie burger in my hands in five minutes or less. It was all I have ever (for the past four years) wanted. It was delicious too for how much it was ($9 SEK or about $5). My only complaint was that there was no cheese on it. However if I had read the menu a little bit more I would have seen that they also sold a veggie clubhouse which is the same as a McVegan only with cheese added on.

What I want is for the McDonalds in the United States to step it up.

Vegetarian and vegans in the US deserve fast food that is not breakfast food too. I will be the first to admit that yes, this is not that deep. However, I still want vegetarian food from the comfort of my car though and Swedish Mcdonalds delivered just that. I know that if the McVegan does does come to the United States it will be on the coasts first (and will take roughly forever to reach the midwest.) But a girl can still dream, and right now I am dreaming of the McVegan.

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.

winter

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.
