MIXING DINING HALL DESSERTS INTO ONE FRANKENSTEIN TREAT.

Follow for more cafeteria chronicles and campus food hacks!

Let's be honest, the dining hall wasn't just where you refueled; it was a canvas for culinary rebellion. Who among us hasn't stared down that row of unassuming desserts – the slightly dry cookies, the generic sheet cake, the soft-serve machine perpetually on the fritz – and seen not ingredients, but possibilities? The Frankenstein treat wasn't merely a dessert; it was a declaration. A testament to late-night study sessions, creative problem-solving under pressure, and the sheer audacity of a hungry mind.

Remember the thrill? The strategy involved in combining a scoop (or three) of soft-serve with crumbled brownies, perhaps a rogue piece of pie, topped with whatever sprinkles or fruit cocktail was available. It was a masterpiece of necessity, a comfort food crafted from limited resources. These weren't gourmet desserts; they were legendary concoctions, whispered about in dorm rooms, perfected in moments of academic stress. Each bite was a shared secret, a nod to the resourcefulness ingrained in our DNA. It bonded us, didn't it? Whether you were building a towering sundae or a messy cake-cookie sandwich, you were participating in a glorious, sugary tradition.

So, to current students: keep innovating. To alumni: what was your signature Frankenstein creation? The spirit of resourcefulness and culinary mischief lives on.
