THAT TIME THEY SERVED SUSHI… AND YOU INSTANTLY REGRETTED IT.

We've all been there, right? That rare, glimmering day in the dining hall when the menu promised something beyond the usual rotation of pasta and mystery meat. "Sushi," it declared, and a ripple of cautious optimism spread through the lines. For a moment, we allowed ourselves to dream of artfully rolled seaweed, fresh fish, and perfectly seasoned rice.
Then you saw it. Or rather, you tried it. The rice was suspiciously firm, the "fish" a muted shade of something unidentifiable, and the cucumber tasted like a distant memory. That first bite was often followed by a rapid assessment: Could I actually finish this? Was that a mistake? The initial excitement quickly dissolved into a silent, shared understanding of collective disappointment. It became a legendary tale, whispered among friends, a cautionary reminder of dining hall ambitions gone awry.
Yet, even these culinary missteps form the fabric of our shared university experience. They become the inside jokes, the bonding moments, the proof that even at the pinnacle of academic life, some things are universally student-level. Whether it was the "sushi" or the infamous mystery casserole, these moments built character and a lifetime of stories. We survived, we learned, and we definitely appreciate good sushi now.
