FREE MUFFINS AFTER CLUB MEETINGS THAT SAVED YOUR DINNER.
Follow us for more nostalgic dives into campus life.
Remember those evenings? The sun setting, your stomach rumbling, and a frantic dash from a late lecture to an even later club meeting. You’d probably skipped dinner, or maybe just grabbed a sad, cold slice of pizza hours ago. Then, there it was: a humble tray of muffins, often slightly squashed from transport, sitting innocently on a side table. That free blueberry or chocolate chip muffin wasn't just a snack; for many of us, it was dinner. A warm, slightly crumbly lifeline that kept us going through another hour of planning, debating, or organizing.
It wasn't about the gourmet experience. It was about survival, about stretching a student budget, about finding comfort in unexpected places. These weren’t the grand, iconic moments we typically celebrate, but they were the quiet, essential ones. The tiny, unassuming details of cafeteria and café culture that became part of our daily rhythm. The shared glance with another student, both silently acknowledging this small, sweet victory against a demanding schedule. For current students, it’s a familiar ritual. For alumni, it’s a fond, almost humorous memory of a time defined by ambition, late nights, and the surprising importance of a free baked good. These are the threads that truly weave the fabric of our college experience, proving that sometimes, the simplest things mean the most.
