Purdue's On-The-Go Dining Power Rankings

In the ideal world, every college student would have time every day to sit down for a leisurely meal surrounded by friends. However, more often than not, "lunch" constitutes grabbing a Snickers before chemistry lab and eating it with one hand on the bus while you scribble your pre-lab with the other. Lucky for Purdue students, On-The-Go makes meals on the run easier than ever! At three locations around campus students can grab a quick sandwich or a few snacks using meal swipes in five minutes or less. The question then becomes: which On-The-Go is for me?

3) Earhart Dining Hall

While it is true that Earhart On-The-Go offers the same choices as every other location (one entree + three sides for a single swipe) the location is what stops many students from utilizing this location. Earhart dining hall is located between Earhart and Shreve Residence Halls across the street from Hillenbrand Residence Hall. Besides the students that live in these residence halls, Earhart is pretty far away from any of the class buildings and residence halls such as Wiley, Windsor, Owen, Cary, and Tarkington. It is not a convenient location for a student to pop into and grab something for lunch unless they are on the way to or from class and they live in the area. In my discussions with others about On-The-Go dining I only encountered a few that had more than once or regularly frequented Earhart On-The-Go.

2) Ford Dining Hall

Ford happened to be my favorite dining hall last year, as I'm sure many of you agree. While this was probably because I lived right next to it, it still counts! Ford is located pretty central to Tarkington, Cary, and Owen Residence Halls. Ford is relatively close to class buildings, being only about a five-minute walk from Armstrong and the surrounding class Engineering Mall buildings. Ford is especially convenient for residents in the surrounding area as they are on their way to class.

1) Windsor Dining Hall

Windsor is the reigning champ for convenience and ease when it comes to On-The-Go dining options. Windsor has a great location right next to Krach Leadership Center. Windsor has also saved many a frazzled student in the midst of a frantic cram session with no time to run over to Wiley for a sit-down lunch or dinner. Students can easily run in on the way to, or from, class! The sweet lady that worked at the ID swipe counter was always a sure pick-me-up as well.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
