1. Come Up With Servery Concoctions

By the time you stop hanging out with your O-Week group members, there is a pretty good chance that you will be tired of the servery food.  While acknowledging that Rice students have it a lot better than students at many other universities, sometimes you get sick of eating the same pesto pasta and creamy chicken dish.  Especially if you try to eat relatively healthy.

So, you should create some delicious combinations of the staple foods that are always offered in the serveries.


Here are a few examples that my friends and I have come up with:

• Oatmeal + yogurt  (add peanut butter and/or walnuts if you want) 
• Peanut butter toast with scrambled eggs on top 
• Chex + peanut butter + chocolate chips, all melted in the microwave
• Toast + peanut butter + honey
• French fries + peanut butter + chocolate chips 

Get creative! The residential college social scene is centered around meal times, you may as well enjoy what you're eating as you procrastinate for an hour in the commons after dinner.

Do you have any of your own concoctions that you think others should try?
