Types of People You See at Grill

By EILENA DING ‘28

Everyone loves Grill. It’s the perfect space to catch up with friends, hangout, procrastinate, and buy snacks. The whole school goes to Grill, but there are several recurring Grill personalities, and they are:

The One Who Doesn’t Know How to Use Condiments

There’s always that one person who turns perfectly crispy Grill fries into a soggy tragedy. They insist on completely ruining a delicious snack — like drenching a sandwich in water before you eat it — why? Am I the only one who sees the plastic condiment containers right in front of you?

The “Study” Group

There’s always a group of friends seated at one of the Grill tables, they have their laptops and homework out, but no one ever does any work. Instead, they spill the juiciest tea anyone’s ever heard, and everyone secretly eavesdrops. They occasionally stop and say they’re going to “lock-in,” but they just keep gossiping anyway. Stop lying to yourselves and go study in the library or something.

The Politician

CCC elections just came to an end, and the StuCo Executive Board elections have just begun. Now, there’s always that one ambitious candidate trying to make himself known in Grill. He likes to interrupt people who are in the middle of a conversation and ask for signatures. He doesn’t introduce himself either, so no one even knows his name. At least he managed to interrupt that couple in the corner… can you please just go to D-Hall like everyone else?

The Grill Couple

We’ve all seen it — that one couple that acts like Grill is their personal rom-com set. They usually get way too comfortable, cuddling and thinking no one can see them. Occasionally, they start feeding each other, too, and the whole room can’t help but cringe. Please go somewhere else.

Grill is a great space to relax, and let’s keep it that way.
