I haven’t had a meal plan since my first year---a decision I largely don’t regret. Dining hall eating is now a special treat that allows me to eat all the pasta I want for free... but back in the day, it was a pretty big struggle to find food that I could get excited about.
Others have certainly been more creative than me with their creations. However, except for some sort of first-year camaraderie (which gets old fast), there was really only one silver lining to my dining hall days: plenty of free Nutella. In light of the revelation that we consume (and often waste!) about $5,000 worth of Nutella a week (!) I've put together some humble suggestions on how to take advantage of this Nutella boon... without simply hoarding it in your bowls.
- Spread it on things: This is a little bit obvious... But you can spread Nutella on pretty much everything. Toast! Froyo! Bananas! Peanut butter sandwiches! Panini!
