Old people eat prunes and drink Milk of Magnesia. Rich people eat caviar and sip ancient wines. Country folk eat biscuits and gravy and guzzle sweet tea. Brits eat fish and chips and drink beer. College students? Well, college students eat crap and drink crap.
But crap to one man’s colon is heaven come to earth for another. The “another” is usually 19-25, owns an X-Box, has a student loan and enjoys a metabolism faster than, uh, faster…than…a person’s. (Couldn’t come up with anything good there. Dang it.)
Anyway, tonight I taught (sang a little) and a room full of college students from all over North Carolina listened. We laughed, we cried…and then we ate. We ate like college students.
Behold. The dream feast of a 19-25 year old:
Food Group #1: Sugar.
Food Group #2: Caffeine.
That feeling you have right now? That’s lust. Or sympathy indigestion.
More from the conference tomorrow.

Shaun,
Thanks for kicking it with us this weekend. I will shamelessly leave my blog link here. Come check it out. (I am Bapt. Campus Min. @ UNCG.)

Looks like the diet ones remain unopened.
Yes, that is your typical college buffet. It’s funny that you point that out. It never struck me as odd to see those items on a buffet before. However, this week, we had our first training meeting at my job. When I found out we were only having cake and doughnuts and frappuccinos, I thought, “You mean we’ll be there for four hours and won’t have any real food?” Does that make me an adult now?
I remember looking around the kitchen of our BSU for bags of stale chips when all we had out were fancier horsdouvres. And at my bachelorette party (it’s okay–you can keep reading), we had bowls of candy, bowls of chips, and a cake, plus multitudes of pop. (There might’ve been a fruit tray…) I ate Nerds out of a cereal bowl with a spoon that night, and carried a two liter with me to Wal-Mart. Maybe that’s why I didn’t fall asleep until at least 4, and why I had a sugar/caffiene hangover the next morning.
