Seriously?

It took me long enough, but I can finally say I am comfortable walking around on campus and knowing where every building is, and exactly where I need to go. For example, if somebody tells me to meet them at Ackerson, I don't need to say "Where is that?" I've been on this campus for two and a half years, so that gives me enough experience to get my way around. Yet, I still struggle to find a solid dining place for when I have my night classes, and I don't think that will change anytime soon.

I'm sure I am not the only one, but I am not a huge fan of the food on the campus. Does that mean I refrain from eating it? Of course not! Usually, my first two years, I would go to Robeson and either get a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich, (yes, I am a health conscious freak). I always bring water from home; I go shopping once every week or so and buy three 24 packs of water, so I grab three or four bottles every day an take them to school with me. At one point, I was even making sandwiches for myself before every day, due to the fact that I would get so bored with eating the same thing every day!

This semester, I really started switching things up. One of my favorite lunches nowadays in the turkey panini at Starbucks. It is turkey deli meat, which is the healthiest deli meat you could get, with whole wheat bread and a mustard spread. It is really good, but not too filling, which makes me upset every time I swipe my card and six dollars is taken out of my account. Another place I have experimented with is Robert's Pizzeria, on Washington Ave.It is a deli restaurant, where you could get a a slice of pizza, a grilled chicken wrap, and many other typical pizzeria foods. Robert's is not too expensive, and they do give very big serving sizes, but being such a health freak, there really isn't much for me to get to eat there. There grilled chicken caesar wrap is very good, but it gets boring eating the same thing for lunch everyday, and I try to stay from monotonous things. I've tried a chicken and gyro platter with some rice at the place next to the bookstore, but I am not a big fan of eating that food, although it is pretty filling.

I've been patiently waiting on the Java place to open. It's located right next to Subway, (which I've tried, not a big fan of Subway either). The coffee place was open my first year here, but they have done construction and renovation on it, and I am waiting for it to open up! I think the food should be just wha I need, healthy, not too pricey and somewhat filling. Once it opens up, I will keep everybody updated on their menu selection, and whether or not it was good.
