Ugh, Daka Food!

I believe that if there is one thing that all college students have in common at this time, it’s that they are sick of the food in their dining hall. It does matter how good the food may seem at the beginning of the year, by second semester they would give almost anything to walk into their cafeteria and find themselves in a not so familiar setting.

Here at Fitchburg the most commonly used name for the dining hall is Daka, although I have heard it referred to as Home’s, and Chachski’s on several occasions. With hotdogs, fries, sandwiches, hamburgers, and pizza always being an option, along with an array of more complex dishes being offered about once a week, you can’t really blame the school for our lack of excitement over the cuisine. They offer the common cooking daily to guarantee that there is always something offered that we like to eat, and they mix it up with the special meals less often so that we don’t find ourselves eating the same thing daily.

However, I still can’t help myself from utter in the words “I’m so sick of Daka food,” every time I find a piece of pizza on my plate. Also, Taco Day seemed a bit less special when I realized it was every Thursday. It makes you realize why Ramen is known as the food of college students; they would rather stay in their dorm and enjoy the same meal, then walk across campus for the same effect. I guess I should just be thankful that I always have Lemon Chicken Pasta and Chicken Catchatori Day to look forward to.
