I'm Addicted to Campus Late-Night Snacks

Anonymous Sassy Trickster #179 · General

So I’ve been living on campus for just over a month now, and honestly, it’s the greatest thing ever. My roommate is super cool, my classes are pretty much what I expected (except for this one that’s way harder than advertised), but there’s this one little thing that’s become kind of annoyingly obsessive for me. Every night around 10:30 or so, I have a sudden and intense craving for chips and cookies from the vending machine in the student union building. It sounds small, but it's getting to be quite the habit. And here’s the funny part, I’ve been telling my roommate that I need to grab some quick notes before bed or something like that, because there’s no way they’d approve of a midnight snack run just for chips and cookies! But every time I come back from the vending machine, I can see them grinning from their bed. They know full well what I’m up to, but they haven’t said anything about it yet. Sometimes I worry that my campus addiction will be our secret we share until the end of college, like some kind of code between us.
