Grub

     What's up with the food situation here? As a procrastinator, I stay up pretty late doing homework, binge watching my favorite show, or even just fooling around on my phone. I do this a lot, and I've noticed that after about 2 A.M., there's nowhere to get food. But first of all, let's talk about food here in general. The dining halls have their days but on off days, there's pretty much nothing to eat. I walk into every single dining hall with the same thought in my head: "If there's no chicken or pasta, then it'll be another day of eating below average pizza." Maybe I'm picky, but I struggle to enjoy food on campus whether I'm eating at a dining hall or spending dining dollars at Wollaston's or Amelia's.

     Anyways, let's talk about getting food after hours. When it's 3 or 4 in the morning, I don't really care what I eat at that point as long as it's edible. The problem is where. Dining halls close early, and even though places like Wollaston's and Amelia's close at 1 A.M. and 2 A.M. respectively, that's still too early sometimes. Some of you might be thinking, "Just order food on Postmates or GrubHub." Trust me, I've tried. If it's 4 A.M., there are only 5 places on Postmates or GrubHub within 15 miles that are open, and 3 of them are McDonald's.

     Here's an idea. One dining hall should stay open all night, and if not a dining hall, then Outtakes. I should be able to feel bad about myself and binge eat at all hours of the night. Hot Pockets won't cut it. Poptarts won't cut it. Kraft Mac & Cheese won't cut it. I need real food. Also, the Patriots are about to win and I'm upset.

  1. Hey Abdo,

    I very much agree with you. I cant count how many times I have gone out on weekends and wanted food after but ended up settling with a granola bar or a half brown banana (half sized too if its from the dining hall).

    But another thing I would like to point out is that not just food places close at 1am or 2am, but also all types of "social things" around town. When I moved to Boston four years ago and I was invited to a birthday party I was also appalled that anyone would invite people over before 8pm, which then explains why everything closes and ends so late...

    All in all, I think we agree we need more food after 2am...
