P.M. pizza on campus; that’s amore
If you’re a college student, nothing is worse than waiting an hour or more for your food delivery person on a Friday night. Thanks to Dining Services, the pilot program of providing pizza and delivery service to on-campus students starting Nov. 19 every Friday seems like a saucy idea to us.
As reported in The Maine Campus, students can have the food delivered for a dollar or pick it up themselves. Better yet for those who live on the south side of campus, York Commons is going to be home base for this pizza operation.
It seems like something insignificant. You’d think, “Why do college students need yet another option for pizza? Aren’t there enough food delivery providers in the area?” Indeed, unnamed reader, you are correct.
But the fringe benefits of paying thousands upon thousands of dollars for a college education brings with it some lofty perks. Having been assured that the pizza will not be the standard York Commons pizza that has plagued students every other day, we’re confident this program will serve students and leave them aching for more … pizza.
When you give a little, you get a lot
The passing of Halloween and the increasingly cold weather can only mean one thing – it’s officially the holiday season. This year when you are spending time with loved ones or decking the halls, please take time to remember the less fortunate.
Make a concerted effort to affect change in people’s lives by donating time, money, food or clothing to those who may not be able to provide for themselves.
So, don’t just pass the Salvation Army bell-ringers. Drop a little change in the red bucket and feel good about helping others. Buy a toy and donate it to Toys for Tots instead of squandering that $5 on a mocha latte from Starbucks – because you will get a high that even caffeine cannot top from doing something good.
We at The Maine Campus are making donations in an effort to better our campus and our communities; we only hope our peers do the same.
