USING MUFFINS AS MEAL SUBSTITUTES FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT.
Follow us for more tales from the dining halls and beyond!
We’ve all been there, right? That particular brand of academic intensity where time warps, sleep becomes a mythical concept, and the only thing more precious than an open library seat is a readily available, pre-planned "emergency snack." For many of us, this wasn't just about late-night study sessions; it was about strategic survival.
My own personal legend involves a memorable 72-hour stretch powered almost exclusively by muffins. Not gourmet ones, mind you. These were often slightly squashed, carefully hoarded treasures, plucked from a backpack or a desk drawer, serving as breakfast, lunch, and a very sad dinner. It wasn't about culinary delight; it was about the dense, carb-heavy hit that promised just enough energy to push through another problem set, another chapter.
It’s a bizarre badge of honor, isn't it? The sheer audacity of sustaining oneself on glorified cake for days, all in the name of academic pursuit. This isn't just a muffin story; it’s a testament to the grit, the strange hacks, and the shared, slightly unhinged experiences that bonded us during those formative years. We learned resilience, resourcefulness, and sometimes, the surprising versatility of a blueberry muffin. What were your most unconventional meal substitutes? We know you have stories.
