topic

For my topic I want to talk about the dining hall within my dorm building. Woodworth’s dining hall is a hot spot for people all around campus. I live in a living learning community where myself and a majority of these students have late hours. Whether it is night class and labs, student lead study sessions, spending hours at bracken, etc, people are bound to get “home” at late hours. When I come home at 8 on the dot or a little later than that, all of the food in the dining hall is packed up and closed. It closes at 8pm. Back at home, some families don’t even eat until 8 pm. They prefer to dine at later hours in the night just like how some people prefer to have dinner as early as 4pm. They have a mini mart that stays open until midnight but all of that is packaged, frozen, candy, and unhealthy options. I want to do my topic on getting the dining hall to stay open later. I think 10 is a good time for when everything should be closing up. This topic is important to me because I am constantly missing dinner almost on the daily because the dining hall closes too early (in mine and many other people I’ve talked to opinions). I already only have 10 meals swipes a week, the lowest amount you can go, so when I am having to miss meals and am already struggling trying to pick which days I want only 1 meal per day, it gets frustrating. I would like to see this problem get fixed.
