when i came back to school last fall, i bought a meal plan with all declining balance (db). db can be used at any on-campus eatery. the plan was for $875 and the db was eligible until friday august 9th 2019, the end of second summer session. if you don’t use db, you lose it. i had 23 dollars left, so i went to bojangles for lunch today. i got two 4pc supreme combos, and my guy behind the counter hooked it up. he gave me extra, extra fries along with extra tenders. while i was eating, the fire alarm went off. instead of 100’s of people rushing out the building, it was about 15-20 of us. campus is so peaceful in the summer. it’s a serene place to be. the vibe is tranquil, and hectic, stressful energy isn’t prevalent. things move slow on campus during summer. 
in a few weeks the commotion will commence, but i can’t lie, i’ve been enjoying my summer here.
