STOCKPILING GRANOLA BARS BEFORE A SNOWSTORM.
Follow for more relatable campus chronicles.
Remember those days? The weather app flashing red, the first flakes swirling, and that primal urge to raid the local convenience store? It wasn't just about surviving the storm; it was about fueling the inevitable all-nighter. Those granola bars, the instant noodles, the emergency caffeine stash – they weren't just snacks; they were strategic assets in the ongoing war against deadlines and sleep deprivation.
The cafeteria had its charms, sure, but it couldn't always cater to a 3 AM study session or the sudden inspiration that struck just as the dining hall closed. We learned quickly that self-sufficiency was key. Our dorm rooms became miniature fortresses of sustenance, each drawer a hidden pantry for “emergency snacks” – which, let's be honest, were often just “anytime snacks.”
This wasn't just about hunger; it was about control in a chaotic academic environment. The comfort of knowing you had that one extra bar, tucked away for when the brain fog hit or the library closed its doors. It’s a shared experience, isn't it? That unique brand of resourcefulness born from demanding schedules and endless possibilities. For those still navigating the labyrinth, and for those who look back fondly, these chronicles remind us of the ingenuity honed in those halls.
