I Need Food

Getting to sleep at a reasonable hour in college is hard for some. Whether you’re up to study, complete homework, can’t sleep or just want to be up, everyone has their own reasons. I no when I’m up until 1:30 or 2, I sometimes get hungry and want to eat something. It’s hard to make anything in the dorms if my roommate is sleeping and we all know that college students aren’t made of money, so ordering out is almost out of the question. So what am I supposed to do? I feel that if the dorms were open twenty-four hours, I wouldn’t have this problem.

Grant, Douglas and Neptune cafes are all closed by nine o’clock and the only food left available is fried, fatty food from Stevenson or Lincoln. Right there, I can identify two major problems with that. First of all, who wants to eat fried, fatty food at night? I can almost bet that the food which is offered was made earlier in the day anyway, so it makes it even worse. The least the cafes can offer is something healthy and fresh, just so the whole university doesn’t become a blimp. Second of all, what if I don’t live in either Stevenson or Lincoln? I then have to walk at ten o’clock to one of these dorms. Now I know they aren’t far away from the other dorms, but there is still a lot of crime that goes around at night. I want to make sure that I’m always safe, wherever I go.

In the end, the only real solution to all these problems is to have all the dorms open twenty-four hours and offer fresh, healthy food to eat. It will solve the problems for the late night owls and people who also like to eat healthy. It will also prevent people walking from dorm to dorm in the night, making the campus a little safer.
