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?

Hey! What college are you from?

That's how the majority of Rice University students introduce themselves. "Hey! I'm <insert name>.  I'm in <insert college>."  Chances are, especially if it's right after O-Week or Beer Bike, the other person will respond with that college's anti-cheer.  "You're from Jones? FUCK JONES!!" 

Well, my name is Danielle and I'm in Will Rice.  I am a junior here at Rice University in Houston, Texas.  My hobbies include distance swimming on the varsity swim team, watching too much television, and taking Hanging with Friends way too seriously. 

                            

Rice is known for its “unconventional wisdom”, residential college system, and small size, with only about 3000 undergraduate students. Navigating the college scene isn’t easy, and Rice is no exception.  I'm making this blog to provide advice for undergraduate students of all grade levels at Rice to make their lives a little easier.  To help them learn some of the "in"’s and "out"’s and how to work the system.  Hence the name, Rice Advice.  Not all of this wisdom is my own- I have been and will be collecting ideas from my fellow owls, who will be regularly featured.  Who knows- maybe one day you will see your own great idea on here.
