17 Feelings Everyone Has When They Run out of Dining Dollars

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CNU chapter.

1. You’re in line at Einstein’s for the 15th time this week thinking about how great that bagel sandwich is gonna be.

2. Suddenly it’s your turn and you are ready to go!

3. You give them your order (and lbr, you’ve ordered it so many times you could probably say it in your sleep)…

4. They swipe your ID and that’s when it happens…

5. You realize you’ve run out of dining dollars!

6. You have no other way to pay for your food…

7. And so you leave Einstein’s sandwich-less…

8. You call your mom and desperately ask her for some Captain’s Cash.

9. Aaaand she says no…

10. So you’re forced to mooch off your friends for the rest of the semester.

11. And now you actually have to eat at Regatta’s or Commons if you want any food…

12. …when all you want is an Einstein’s milkshake!

13. (And let’s not even talk about how much you want Chick-fil-a.)

14. Finals week rolls around and you think about all the food you COULD be getting…

15. When it hits you…

16. You’ll get MORE Dining Dollars next semester!

17. So, hang in there, guys – you’ll be eating bagel sandwiches in no time!
