5 Tricks For Exceptional Dining At The University Of Missouri
Sean Yockey

Transitioning to college is difficult. It is tough to go about our day the same way we would as if we were back home in our comfortable house, in a clean and well-organized kitchen, but we work with what we have.

Surprisingly, we do not have to give everything up. We have the opportunity to eat astonishing food. I have experimented with an array of meals at different dining halls throughout Mizzou's campus. Even if you lack creativity or a desire to craft neat food combinations, you can still learn quick and easy ways to improve your meal by reading this article and apply these new tricks to your next meal!

Locate your waffle maker, now 

It is 8:30 and your alarm shrieks. You begin your morning anxiety attack. Pressing ignore, you shake off the way too obvious, unwanted glare, you receive from a nearby stranger. Get your mise en place prepared: chocolate chips and peanut butter or throw some blueberries in!

Begin pouring your ladle of batter and ingredients.

Whenever the waffle is golden-brown, remove from heat and enjoy!

Use caution

Even though we demand to continue our glorious adventure of creative eating in the dining halls, we must stay grounded. For the concern of your taste buds, stay far away from anything that looks like this. It is awesome to try experimenting with different ingredients but you are going to have a hard time enjoying new experiences.

In regard to the omelet you were thinking about waiting for, it just is not worth it.

Extra spicy, please

Hot sauce. Hot sauce. Hot sauce. This is what it is all about. If you refuse to dress your meal with a little sizzle, you have no purpose here. You can use hot sauce to cover up an unpleasant taste or use it to enhance your flavor.

Mix and match

Why waste your time enjoying one flavor when you can have two? What about three? Simple experimenting with food, inside and outside the dining halls, will put you in a position to find new and awesome meals but you will also craft your palette in the process.

Everything in moderation 

Every university should have access to enough sweets to keep you smiling-until the sugar high fades. Then, it will be time to study. Now, more cookies.

It is far from easy getting a solid meal from a dining hall, but with these few tips, you should be able to improve your dining experience ten-fold. Make sure you do the little things: mise en place ingredients, eat dessert, and always add hot sauce.

Also, never forget that it is way harder to like a person that has basic taste buds.

Stay different, and well-fed.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
