USING MUFFINS AS MEAL SUBSTITUTES FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT.
Follow for more tales from the college trenches and beyond!
Tell us, fellow scholars, who hasn't stared down a critical deadline, library-bound for hours on end, only to realize "meal" had become a philosophical concept? The dining hall long closed, the campus market a distant memory, you reach into that backpack. Not for a textbook, but for the true emergency rations: a cached muffin, perhaps from a forgotten department reception, or a hurried grab before the 8 AM lecture.
Day one, it's a perfectly acceptable, even delightful, pick-me-up. A sweet reward for intellectual exertion. By day two, as the all-nighters blur and the caffeine intake spikes, that muffin transitions from snack to essential sustenance. You begin the internal negotiations: "It's got whole grains... sometimes. And essential carbs for brain power!"
Then comes day three. The final muffin. A solitary, slightly squashed testament to your resilience. You're not just eating it; you're celebrating a small victory against the clock, the thesis, the seemingly endless problem sets. These aren't just anecdotes; they're the gritty, unglamorous realities of forging ahead in an environment that demands your absolute best, even when your "meal plan" is a testament to creative desperation. This shared experience, often whispered with a knowing smile, connects us. What was your most memorable, makeshift meal?
