Sidewalk Symposium: Favorite dorm snacks
Students share what they like to munch on in their dorm
In the midst of midterms, the simple pleasure of eating your favorite snack is a necessity. Thus, dorm snacks emerge as the perfect pick-me-up for late night studying, test stressing and everything in between.
The Trinitonian chatted with students in Coates Student Center about what their favorite dorm snacks are and other fun foods they enjoy in the comfort of their dorms.
Joy Areola, sophomore neuroscience major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“My favorite dorm snack is honestly tortilla chips, just tortilla chips. No reason.”
What meals do you make in your dorm?
“I like to get frozen P.F. Chang’s chicken and then I’ll get rice and I’ll just heat that up and I’ll make that.”
Emma Ross, senior math and Spanish double-major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“I think my favorite snack is probably ice cream.”
Do you ever make meals in your dorm?
“I don’t make meals in my dorm. If I want to cook, I’ll go to a friend’s apartment at CV or something, it’s just not really practical in the first-year area.”
Trent Svacina, first-year engineering major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“I think it’s Austin’s, the peanut butter crackers.”
Why those?
“They’re easy. They’re packaged, so you can just have them there, and you can buy them in 35 packs.”
Sebastian Buscemi, sophomore human resources major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“Peanut butter-filled pretzels.”
Do you ever make meals in your dorm?
“Ramen. It’s from back home. I don’t know what it’s called, I get it shipped down.”
Nicholas Cipolla, sophomore chemistry major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“Goldfish. Goldfish all the way.”
Why Goldfish?
“I don’t know if I have a real reason for it, they’re just super good. I just really like goldfish.”
Blake Bryan, first-year business major
What is your favorite dorm snack?
“I like Goldfish, but the colored ones.”
Why those?
“Because you know how people say they’re the same? And it doesn’t matter which color it is? Those people are just not creative. I think they each taste differently, and it makes them more special.”
