If you were a college student and you had to juggle athletics, classes, finishing a huge lab for bio, studying for your econ mid-term on Friday, going to the SGA meeting, trying to keep a social life, while trying to get 6-7 hours of sleep a night, when do you have time to eat!? Growing up, my mother made sure I ate a hearty breakfast every morning before school or before I left the house (a granola bar or yogurt didn't suffice). My mother would have french toast, homemade cinnamon buns, scrambled eggs, cinnamon toast, pancakes, coffee cake, dunkin donuts, or danish prepared for my siblings and I whenever we woke up for school. Although I'm in college now and away from my mother's cooking, I still must eat a filling breakfast every morning before my first class or I cannot be functional. During the fall semester, I have to rely on Chase or Emerson to provide that breakfast because I usually have 7:00am practice that ends right before my first class of the day.
This morning, I didn't have morning practice so I woke up and prepared myself my own breakfast the way my mother used too. I made homemade batter (my favorite) and used my griddle pan to cook the pancakes. Of course butter, syrup, coffee and milk are necessary with pancakes and I also had some rice pudding that is not shown in the picture below. I am fortunate enough to live in a themed house on campus and be able to cook my own food at my convince and not have to fight to use the stove with other students in the dorm or on a floor. No matter what I have to do, I will always eat breakfast in the morning because it is what keeps me fueled all day.
