The Home Cooked Meal

This weekend Purdue football picked up its third win in as many games, doing so in a similar fashion as the other games. Now that most of the bull**** games are over, Purdue's got some exciting games down the road. They have opponents such as Ohio State and Notre Dame at home.

Oh wait, check that... Notre Dame is no longer an interesting opponent. Did you know that they average -6 yards rushing yards a game right now? Really!! Check it out.... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/clubhouse?teamId=87

Now... what to tell you about college? I'm going to go ahead and talk about the food situation in college. Now most kids in school have limited money and our forced to eat in the dorms. At most colleges, thats a pretty raw deal. So when I first ate at the dining hall here at Purdue, I thought it was fantastic. They had everything! So I thought, "I'll be all set." That was three weeks ago. I was young and foolish.

Now I am much wiser and have realized something, that no matter what at some point... dorm food is going to suck. Even if it's all pizza, burgers, fries, chinese and all this good stuff that you think you could never get tired of... it's going to suck. Your going to get tired of it.

I've come to realize that I actually miss my mother's homecooked food. In fact, I miss it a lot. And since theres no realistic way to have her food for a few months, I have to learn how to adapt to the dorm food. You have to eat the stuff that is fresh (or at least mildly so). Fruits, yogurt, jello, that kind of stuff will keep your stomach not-so-queasy. You gotta limit the fried stuff, since that is never good.

But really, it's about what you can handle. I mean, this could be just something crazy about me and this isn't happening to anyone else. But all I know is that I damn near throw up looking at the dorm food now.

So if you follow my steps and drink A LOT of water, I think you might just make it. Let's just hope that i do.
