With strange schedules, late nights, and too much work, college kids often end up skipping meals or combining meals. As a lat riser, I usually end up skipping breakfast. But I am still hungry enough to eat food to equal the total food i would have consumed between three meals. The difference is, I eat two meals worth of food, roughly, during one meal. Honestly, this isn't saying much because breakfast is usually the lightest meal of the day. But for those days I wake up at 10:30, I tend to get to the dining hall by 11:00. So, I grab a bowl of serial, or and omelette, and then look at what is being served for lunch. But why do I do this? I think it has something to do with routine and comfort. My brain is used having curtain tasted and types of food first before others. Also, out of habit, it is strange for me to eat tofu before I have had a muffin, bagel, or cereal. Usually, people comment on this, stating that this is a strange combination. But it is familiar, it is tradition. Although... maybe it's only me who does this.
I know exactly what you mean Jess. After I wake up, I need to eat a breakfast food before I eat anything else, regardless of what time it is.
