Always grabbing two bananas “for later.”
ALWAYS GRABBING TWO BANANAS 'FOR LATER.'
Follow for more cafeteria chronicles and campus insights.
That subtle, almost unconscious motion. You’re navigating the bustling dining hall, trays clattering, minds buzzing with algorithms or ancient texts. You hit the fruit station. And without fail, it’s not one, but two bananas that land on your tray. One for now, sure. But the second? That’s the real story, isn’t it?
It’s a ritual, ingrained in the very fabric of our campus lives. A silent promise to your future self, hunkered down in the library at 2 AM, when the brain fog hits and another espresso feels like a bad idea. Or maybe it’s a security blanket for that long lab session, a just-in-case fuel stop before an intense study group. The cafeteria wasn't just a place to eat; it was a theater of unspoken habits, a repository of our collective coping mechanisms. We learned to optimize everything, even our snack choices. Those two bananas were a testament to our relentless pursuit, our foresight, and perhaps, a small, sweet rebellion against the constant demand for more. They were a cheap, accessible energy boost, a quiet act of self-care amidst the academic storm.
Years later, does the habit still linger? Do you still find yourself subconsciously reaching for an extra something, just in case? Share your banana stories, your midnight snack rituals, and the small, repetitive acts that defined your time on campus. We’ve all been there, clutching our yellow gold.
