College
Offers Cooking Options
It’s six o’clock in the evening. One
question on many college students’ minds is, “What’s for dinner?”
The real world
starts to let college students feed for themselves. Students are independent
and have to face the harsh reality of finding food. Home-cooked meals may be
more difficult if you’re living the dorm life, but apartments allow students
the access to bring about comfort food.
“Cooking
on your own is a way to experience the real world,” Mackenzie Raboin, a
resident of Scanlon Hall at The College of St. Scholastica, said. “Growing up,
many people may help their parents cook, but they basically have all of their
meals prepared for them. Being in charge of buying the ingredients, preparing
the food, and cooking it all on your own can be fun experimentation.”
Being
on your own lets you make your own decisions. Questions may arise, such as
where to go grocery shop, what to purchase, and what’s the budget?
St.
Scholastica offers meal plans to all students. With varied schedules, it’s a
nice break from the day-to-day planning to just head over to Storm’s Den in
Tower Hall to pick up a slice of pizza. Another plus, you don’t have to take
the time to drive out to Target and worry about the frustration of expensive
groceries.
“I
don't want to go broke from getting groceries all the time,” Taylor Okeson, a
sophomore at CSS, said. “It’s nice to not have to cook sometimes.”
College
is the start of a new beginning for students. One of the challenges that
college can bring is cooking on your own. At CSS, meal plans can be purchased
from all students, whether they are dorm residents or commuters. This ease of
access to hot meals is a quick way to get a bite to eat. Apartment residents
have the advantage of a full kitchen to cook family style dinners, if they so
desire.
Even
though it may not be your mother’s home cooking, living on your own gives you
the ability to answer the question, “What’s for dinner?” for yourself.
