It's almost that time! I hope all of your preparations are coming together nicely!

Guys, I forgot to mention that you will need some kind of waterproof shave bag to carry your shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. when you go to the shower.

Let's talk food this week! Everyone loves food! :)

As a freshman living on campus, you will have an unlimited meal plan. Trust me there is plenty to eat in the cafeteria. You can eat anything from a bowl of cereal to six plates of food. There's a salad bar, vegetarian bar, waffle station, grill, pizza bar, showcase station (special dish for the day), cereal station, fruit, sandwich station with a Panini press, deli bar, dessert bar, ice cream machines, soda machines, juice machines, sweet tea, and milk machines. So as you can see, you will not go hungry. You are not allowed to take food from the caf back to your room. Also you are not allowed to bring food or drinks into the caf either. So you may want to bring some snacks like pretzels, chips, crackers, popcorn, granola bars, pop tarts, nuts, and peanut butter for late night snacks while studying, mornings when you are running late, or it is pouring down rain and you don't want to walk to the caf. If you have special food allergies such as lactose intolerance (need soy milk) or celiac (gluten-free), tell the cafeteria manager and they will accommodate you. If you would like to cook there are kitchens available in all dorm buildings. You will also get $100 in Eagle Bucks on your student id per semester. These can be used at Java City (coffee shop in library), Eagle's Nest (snack bar in the MSAC beside the post office), and the Bakery (under the caf, around the back). The Eagle Bucks do roll over from fall semester to spring semester. However, they do not roll over from year to year. Use them or lose them.

That's all for now!
