“Pain in the stomach”

As college students, the phrase “time is of the essence” has now become the understatement
of the year.
The cafeteria closes at 9 AM, so most students have classes that eventually conflict with our time to eat breakfast, which is “the most important meal of the day.”
According to WebMd, breakfast is vital for maintaining weight because breakfast skippers tend to binge eat at lunch.
Let’s say you have you an 8 AM class, which I am sure most of us have had at one point as students at Southern University. I don’t know about you, but the day I meet someone eager to get up at 7:00 in preparation for their first class is the same day I will spot a pig with wings and flight goggles soaring through the air.
When your class ends you are put in a horrible predicament, where it is past nine o’ clock. Why is this a horrible predicament you ask? Well two of the following will be true; either the café is closed or you’ll have to stay hungry for two more hours until the café reopens.
This is only on account that you are broke, rely on your meal plan, and you don’t have a class at eleven, which is the time the cafe opens for lunch.
The other option is that the café is open, but you have limited options, forcing you to put away the scraps that are left. That leaves us with one conclusion: the café needs to extend their hours because students are busy, and the dining hours may be an inconvenience to some people.
Weekends are an even bigger pain in the stomach. The café opening at 11 AM puts the school’s early birds at a bigger disadvantage. Most college students are usually exhausted from classes and studying, but there are others that prefer to get their nourishment in the morning. I feel as though 11 AM is too late to serve food.
When you are hungry, time passes by the minute. We all know how it can become a brutal, gritty, and interminable wait. For the people that wake up early, they are usually up for the best part of the morning, which is breakfast. Well that crowd is out of luck since food isn’t served until practically an hour before lunchtime so sleeping in is the only option left.
The café is doing a good job of providing nutritional food with variety. The only problem is accommodating the students’ schedule to work with the café’s hours of operation. This causes students to develop unhealthy choices.
Those choices include, but are not limited to skipping breakfast, oversleeping, and binge eating and not to mention, “the Freshman 15.”
