How Hungry Are You?

Would You Trade Your Gun For A Pizza

How much do you love pizza? I mean, we all know what wonderful magic pizza works on our taste buds, but do you love it enough to trade your gun for an extra-large? It sounds like a hypothetical situation that wouldn’t really happen, and it also kind of sounds like a situation you would see in an advertisement if Klondike ever decided to make pizzas. But if you ever find yourself in Indianapolis with a gun you’re willing to give up, you may just be able to make a trade that will excite your taste buds.

We’ve all heard about all the gun-related tragedies that have happened this year. Many of these unfortunate events have led people to push legislators to make more gun control laws, but, our national legislators are too divided on the issue to really do much about the situation. One man, however, has decided to take matters into his own hands.

According to Bravo TV, the owner of an Indianapolis pizzeria called D & C Pizza, Donald Dancy, “the neighborhood around the pizzeria is like a ‘war zone,’” and Dancy also comments that he “’can see kids 14 through 18 coming in here and buying a pizza and their guns fall out.’” As a victim himself, Dancy decided to try to team up with the local police to fight gun violence by offering coupons that allow customers to trade “’any gun’” for “’any extra-large pizza.’” However, according to Grub Street, Dancy is still working with the police to finalize all the details.

Dancy’s effort to fight gun violence is truly unique. I’ve never heard of anything like it, and I believe that it will be incredibly interesting to see what happens with this pizza exchange. It’s also refreshing to hear about someone actually trying to do something about an issue instead of complaining and demanding that someone do something. No matter how you feel about guns, I’m sure you can respect the fact that Dancy is taking action instead of complaining. I hope that this promotion really works to help make a difference in his community.

If a piece of pizza can bring a little peace, I’m all for it. So, good luck to you, Donald Dancy.

And on that note, I think I’m going to go get a slice of pizza. Writing this article seems to have made me hungry.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
