What’s Your Favorite Grill Item?
By LYDIA KUHNERT ‘28 and MARGOT WEGBRANS ‘28
Grill is more than just a social spot for in-between classes, it’s a personality test in disguise. Whether you’re fueling up or trying to use your last points, your go-to-snack says a lot about you.
Grapes
We get it — you’re trying to be healthy. Too bad you can only be healthy once or twice before completely running out of points for the week.
Cookies
You need to get to that perfect even integer of $2, and consume the highest number of calories possible while doing so. Maximum calories = maximum joy. Four cookies should do the trick.
Fries
Pretty average Exonian. Things start to get dicey when you consider which sauce you are dipping them in. Anything other than ketchup or honey mustard is highly questionable…
Chicken Waffle
Too lazy to walk all the way to Weth, too hungry to go to class with no food. The Chick-Waf is an energy-efficient, time-efficient way to fuel yourself up on grease, sugar, and dreams before class starts.
Black Coffee
Okay Ms. “Hasn’t-Slept-In-A-Week” — no need to keep pretending you actually enjoy this stuff. Either you are inhuman or just gritting your teeth and washing it down to act tough.
Arizona
*Sigh* You’re trying not to waste your grill points, so you add in the Arizona. You’re looking for something to flush your 3-dollar snack down with, and let’s be real — water just wasn’t dramatic enough.
Chicken Tenders
Ah yes, the meal of champions — or at least, the meal of someone who gave up on making decisions and defaulted to the safest option known to mankind. You could have branched out, but why risk it? If you are wolfing these down with no sauce… I don’t know what happened to you, but I hope you find your peace.
Instant Ramen
You’re buying this one for later, for when it’s 1 a.m. and you haven’t even started that research paper due first period. All that matters now is survival, and that means cracking open a brick of noodles. You tell yourself that this is fuel (brain food, even), but in reality, it is 1,200 mg of sodium, regret, and the hope that you can go to bed soon.
