MIXING DINING HALL DESSERTS INTO ONE FRANKENSTEIN TREAT.

Follow along for more dining hall adventures and campus life insights!

Those late-night study sessions. The impending deadlines. The sheer exhaustion that only a sugar rush could combat. Our legendary dining halls, while grand, sometimes presented a creative challenge. And that’s where the true genius of the student emerged: the art of the Frankenstein dessert. It wasn't merely a snack; it was a testament to our ingenuity, a culinary rebellion, and often, the silent pact of friendship over shared confectionary chaos.

Remember stacking cookies with soft-serve, drowning it in hot fudge and sprinkles, then adding a strategic layer of cereal for crunch? Or perhaps combining various puddings, a crumbled muffin, and some rogue fruit from the salad bar into a glorious, if slightly unidentifiable, concoction. These weren't just desperate food hacks; they were edible memories, born from necessity, boredom, or simply the desire to create something uniquely ours in a world of prescribed paths. They fueled our all-nighters, celebrated small victories, and provided much-needed comedic relief.

What was your signature dining hall dessert monstrosity? What bizarre ingredients did you daringly combine? Share the tale of your most memorable sweet experiment – the triumphs, the hilarious failures, and the strange satisfaction of your own unique creation.
