“BORROWING” NAPKINS FOR YOUR ROOM (INDEFINITELY).
Follow us for more tales from the dining hall and beyond!
There’s an unspoken code, isn't there? A silent agreement between students past and present, a shared understanding of necessity. It begins innocently enough, grabbing an extra napkin or two for a spill in the dorm. Then it evolves. Suddenly, you have a stack, a small, absorbent arsenal for late-night study sessions, emergency note-taking, or perhaps, most crucially, for wrapping that meticulously "packed" cookie or a piece of fruit saved for a desperate midnight craving.
Who among us hasn't mastered the art of "Packing, Hoarding & 'Emergency Snacks'"? The strategic positioning of cereal boxes under the bed, the secret stash of ramen tucked away in a desk drawer, the almost ritualistic saving of a particularly good dining hall dessert for that inevitable 3 AM hunger pang. These weren't just snacks; they were lifelines, small rebellions against the tyranny of fixed meal times and the relentless march of assignments.
The cafeteria, our grand arena, wasn't merely a place for nourishment. It was a tactical ground. The casual stroll past the fruit bowl, the discreet acquisition of a few extra bread rolls, the almost ninja-like procurement of a handful of sugar packets for an instant energy boost. These subtle maneuvers were part of our collective survival guide. They speak to a unique blend of resourcefulness, academic intensity, and perhaps a touch of endearing frugality that defines our journey. It’s a testament to how we learned to thrive, not just academically, but in the everyday minutiae of campus life. These chronicles are more than just food stories; they're tales of ingenuity.
