Let's Have Dessert Before Dinner


If there is one thing that dining services (unfortunately for my waist) gets right all the time, it's dessert. I've always had a huge sweet tooth so coming to a college that served great desserts was awesome. But, again, didn't make that Freshman 15 easier to keep away.

Pictured above is a chocolate pudding pie, covered in whipped cream and with chocolate cookie pieces on top. I'm a terrible pie slicer, but, hey, it all tastes the same no matter what it looks likes.

As an unhealthy challenge to all my fellow seniors out there, I encourage you to enjoy your just desserts. Eat dessert before dinner. And before lunch. And maybe after. Because these last few weeks are probably going to be some of the few where dessert (delicious, delicious dessert) is available at your whim. It is also probably the only time in your life where it also make too much of a difference on waist line. Well, maybe. But it's dessert.

And with graduation only a few weeks away, we deserve to treat ourselves. I believe indulging in our final dining hall desserts goes on this list: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariellecalderon/things-youll-never-do-again-after-graduating-coll.

One of the list items from the link is that this is probably the only time in our lives when we will have a meal plan, at least full time meal plans. And as much as everyone has complained about dining hall food now and again (I'm also guilty as charged), take advantage of using your meal plan. If you're not going to use all of your meals, lend them to other underclassmen, commuters, professors, so on. I encourage you to really relish in those tray and plate meals until May 11. Then you can move onto non-prepaid meals.
