What Your Stamp Food Choice Says About You

Chick-Fil-A sauce and long Panda lines. That's what Maryland does!

What Your Stamp Food Choice Says About You
UMD

Ah, Stamp. For better or worse, it's the hub of campus. Whether you're paying for overpriced textbooks that are still on backorder or being that guy that sleeps on the couches, you'll find yourself there a lot over the semester. What lends to the distinctive smell of Stamp is the plethora of food options. Your go-to food option says a lot about you:

Adele's

Adele's was fun when you needed to use up dining points. But that's no longer a thing with unlimited dining. It's hard to want to pay for DC prices when you're in a student union. If you're still going to Adele's, you like to brag about spending money, but it's not your money that you're spending. It's your parents' money. You probably don't have a job and your parents fund your lifestyle. If you were really treating yourself, you wouldn't do it in a student union.

Auntie Anne's

A pretzel is not a meal, no matter what you say. If you're getting Auntie Anne's for a meal, you probably don't know how to feed yourself without your parents' help. You haven't eaten a plant since the basil on that one slice of pizza you had last week. Was it even really basil? Who knows.

Chick-Fil-A

No one is more committed to their fast food choice than Chick-Fil-A fans. Come Sunday and you won't stop hearing about how it's basically the worst day ever (since last Sunday). If you're choosing Chick-Fil-A, you're extremely passionate bordering on annoying. Oh, you're eating McDonald nugs? I'm eating REAL chicken that once breathed air and had dreams. Okay, but it's still fast-food fried chicken in the end. Tone down the superiority complex.

McDonald's

You hate change and truthfully are not ready for adulthood. The future scares you and you're not ready to leave college for the real world. You rarely cook your own meals and don't separate your laundry. That being said, you know how to run with a good thing. McDonald's hasn't been disappointing so far, why change it?

Moby Dick

Is this really anyone's go-to? Oh, you're having mystery meat tacos? I'm having dolmeh. A large pretzel slathered in butter? Try joojeh. You don't settle for mediocrity and believe in treating yourself.

Panda Express

Panda Express fans are stubborn. I have talked to Panda fans who have said they find it disgusting but still wait on that that obscenely long line. Almost everyone feels like a terribly bloated mess after eating Panda but still put themselves through that torture. I have one question: Why? WHY?

Salad Works

Like the Chick-Fil-A fan, you have a superiority complex. Oh, you bought greasy fries? I have A SALAD. A. SALAD. Someone needs to tell the Salad Works fan that the creamy dressing, bacon, cheese, and croutons undo the few iceberg lettuce leaves in the meal.

Sbarro Pizza

I can deal with mystery meat tacos but put my foot down for Sbarro. Pizza already isn't amazing for you, so get something that actually tastes good. If your go-to is Sbarro, you just don't care. Yes, I just spent money on greasier-than-usual pizza that tastes like gooey cardboard. Oh, my final is tomorrow in 12 hours? Better start studying. The one thing College Park doesn't lack is the availability of pizzerias so don't settle. Learn your worth.

Subway

Subway has managed to convince people that eating a loaf of bread filled with meat, cheese, and sauce is healthy while overcharging for deli meat. Most people are vaguely aware of the Subway smell coming from TerpZone, but hardly ever go in. If your go-to is Subway, money is no object. If you really wanted a sandwich, you could've had the supplies at your house for the fraction of the cost. Out of all the options in Stamp, a sandwich your mom made for you in elementary school is the easiest to replicate.

Taco Bell

You're extremely low-maintenance and easily impressed. A taco shell with Dorito flavoring? Amazing. Americanized Mexican food covered in melted cheese? Genius. You unironically enjoy Mountain Dew and will get the largest size of Baja Blast whenever you can. Paying $3 extra for guac on my Mexican fix? Nah, this is college and I'm fine with my $1 taco that may or may not contain real meat.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
