THE SUNDAY SCARIES STARTING WITH DINING HALL LINES.
Follow for more shared insights into the college experience.
That familiar knot on a Sunday afternoon, wasn't it? It wasn’t just the looming assignments or Monday morning lectures; often, it began with the dining hall line. That slow crawl towards evening dinner, a subtle prelude to the relentless rhythm of another intense week. It was a unique ritual, the same faces, the predictable rush after a weekend of intense studying or a brief reprieve. We all lived it: the repetitive choreography of swiping IDs, grabbing a tray, navigating the choices.
These weren't just meals; they were timestamps in our academic journey. The quick breakfast before a grueling exam, the hurried lunch between classes, the late-night pizza slice or a bowl of cereal, a solitary comfort or shared sustenance during an all-nighter. This routine, seemingly mundane, became an anchor in a whirlwind of high expectations and boundless ambition. The dining hall was more than just food; it was a silent witness to our triumphs and tribulations. A place for quick catch-ups, intense debates, or quiet reflection before diving back into the books.
Even now, the memory of those lines, those meals, those midnight snacks evokes a powerful nostalgia. They were the consistent backdrop to an extraordinary chapter, fueling not just our bodies, but our relentless pursuit of knowledge and the vibrant community that formed around shared plates and endless possibilities. It was the grind, the connection, the silent understanding found in those daily food rituals.
