Caf food bites

HEATHER DILALLA PHOTO EDITOR HCD722@ CABRINI.EDU

Let's face it, the cafeteria food is 'horrendous. I thought this year would be different, that somehow I would have adapted to the half cooked noodles and the dark brown chicken, but that has not been the case. I can honestly say that I am afraid of the caf food.

So far this year I have been to the caf one time. My experience was one that many have gone through since school began; long lines, not enough seats and food that is enough to make you sick. I am learning to accept the food offered here is never going to be delicious. What I can't understand is why Cabrini will not allow students to cut back on meal plans or eliminate them all together. I currently live in house three where there is a kitchen with an oven and a microwave. For the past 3 weeks I have been using the kitchen so much that it is beginning to feel like my own. So here is my question, why should I pay Cabrini for food I am not eating and pay extra money for groceries? It feels like I am paying to go on an all expense paid trip and then ending up having to pay for food and drinks.

I know Cabrini thinks of most students as immature and irresponsible, but I think the students here would surprise them. I know that I personally have lived on my own for months at a time. Believe it or not, I was able to feed myself.
