You wake up. It’s past noon and you’ve just missed your favorite meal of the day: breakfast. But no need to panic. That’s why brunch was invented. As a student at UW-La Crosse, brunch is by far my favorite meal of the day. After a long week of classes and a fun weekend spent with your friends, sometimes you just need some extra time to catch up on some sleep. But before you know it, it is past noon on Sunday, you just woke up and you’re not really in the mood for anything but some eggs and pancakes. Breakfast foods are my absolute favorite. So when I woke up at noon this past weekend, I was not about to skip my favorite meal of the day for anything. That was when a few friends and I decided to go on a little hike DT La Crosse to The Breakfast Club. Which is very possibly one of my favorite places on earth. They say you should never skip breakfast, so don’t make the excuse that you slept past it, and go out for some brunch. Brunch is my kind of meal and here are the many reasons why brunch is the best.
1. Just because you missed breakfast, doesn’t mean you have to forget about breakfast foods during brunch.
Even if it may be 2pm in the afternoon, it is still perfectly acceptable to order some eggs, some hashbrowns and then maybe some more eggs and hashbrowns.
2. It’s probably the weekend and you just got out of bed at 12pm.
You don’t have any classes to get to and you have the whole day to do as you please.
3. There’s no such thing as being late to brunch.
12pm, 1pm, 2pm…brunch doesn’t have any deadlines.
4. You can drink as much coffee as you’d like.
What I love most about breakfast restaurants is that it seems like they hire one person for the sole job of walking around and refilling everyone’s coffee every five minutes. I’m not complaining. :)
5. If you don’t feel like eating breakfast foods, it’s perfectly acceptable to eat a hamburger.
If you don’t love breakfast foods as much as I do, no problem. It is perfectly acceptable to order anything you’d like.
6. Pancakes.
I don’t care what kind, as long as I have a lot of whip cream.
7. It’s a great time to spend with your friends.
Brunch can last one hour or maybe three, which gives you and your friends the perfect time to catch up and talk about your week and your weekend.
8. You will most likely be full for the rest of the day.
Brunch counts for two meals of the day: lunch and breakfast. Which means your stomach won’t be growling anytime soon, keeping you distracted when you have to catch up on some school work for the coming week.
