It's Wednesday. And something appears to be missing... if you guessed pancakes, you're wrong. For today is the end (for now) of Waffle Wednesdays, for, without waffles, it is impossible to have Waffle Wednesday. I know, you might be saying "but the holiday is about the spirit, right? Not the waffles?" Wrong. It's all about the waffles. It's like any other holiday: you can't have Christmas without the "Christ," can you? Or Hanukkah without the "New"? Memorial Day without the "Day"? Labor Day without the "Labor"? The list goes on and on.
But in the spirit of Waffle Wednesday I have decided to devote this post to food. Namely the reason for my lack of waffles. I am not having waffles, because Eggo just don't cut it. I need good old fashioned Belgium waffles. What can I say, I'm classy.
Most people think that the all of the good food at Cornell spoils us. This just isn't true. The food at Cornell's average- everything in the outside world just sucks. However, just because the food is alright does not mean we get fat (yes, I've heard about the Freshman 15). In fact, I'm certain that life outside of college gives is worse for us.

Than it is when there
Really. At college, I have a fresh salad and fruit every single day, and walk everywhere. I just don't do that here. Sure, call me lazy- but I'm not going to take the effort to make a whole salad from scratch every single day. Cutting tomatoes is hard work. And it's very difficult to locate quality croutons. People always seem to think that college life revolves around EasyMac and Ramen. However, I really think that my life at home is more like that. At college, I can have a grilled chicken sandwich or turkey burger whenever the heck I want. At home, if I want that- I need to make it. There's tooooo much effort involved.
