Food for Fuel

Where do we go when we get those midnight studying munchies?

             Every college student has been there: its ten o’clock and you’re sitting in the library, starving and in need of caffeine, with hours of more work to complete. And on such a small campus as ours, the late night options are very few. There is always the Loft, but finding affordable and healthful options there is likely impossible. There’s also the café in Balfour, but as many of us night owls have come to realize, they close rather early. So we drag ourselves across campus to Chase, the wondrous world of food until midnight. The very first perk: the coffee is free and always available. And although the options aren’t overwhelming (to say the very least), and the pizza does begin to look delicious at that hour, Chase gives us the option to attempt to eat healthy. When I need something quick, to fill and energize me, my go-to option is the classic bagel with cream cheese. But there is also always a salad option, sandwich supplies, and the grill for those that don’t have the ongoing love affair with bagels that I seem to have. Perhaps Chase isn’t the late night cafeteria of our dreams, but it does provide us with decent late night options that both my stomach and my grades are thankful for often.
