Here\u2019s some ways to finesse the Commons system without trying to sneak in behind your tall and\/or broad friend. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Stay put, save a swipe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; it\u2019s lunch time and you\u2019re done for the day right? Save yourself the hassle of packing up and the stress of using a swipe. Just whip out your laptop and whichever homework you haven\u2019t done yet and make Commons your study room. That way when dinner comes around, you won\u2019t have to swipe in again. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Rules are meant to be<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2026.bent like plastic &#8211; I\u2019m gonna keep it a 100 with you. I know that little 8&#215;11 sign says \u201cno Tupperware is allowed\u201d but here the thing: A MEAL PLAN IS TOO MUCH MONEY OUT OF MY POCKETS FOR ME TO NOT WANT TO TAKE SOME OF THE RICOTTA PASTA BAKE BACK TO MY MARION ROOM AND ENJOY IN MY BED WITH NO PANTS AND BOYZ II MEN BLARING. My honest advice with this, is just to not get caught.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Minis FTW<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Jellys, jams, graham crackers, soup crackers, tea bags, sugar packets, cream cheeses. What do all of those things have in common? They are all individually packaged and up for grabs in Commons. Why give Kroger any more of your money, when it&#8217;s basically free here?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Revamp and refresh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; for those who don\u2019t have the luxury of going home anytime they want to get a nice home cooked meal or can\u2019t afford to eat out for every meal, we are bound to the plentiful meals of Colket&#8230;but sometimes they just ain\u2019t hittin. But don\u2019t worry! That stale cookie is nothing a microwave can\u2019t handle, if the main course is speaking to your soul step up to the the MYO station and be Chef Curry with the pot, 360 with the wrist.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cavern Hacks <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Well I Do Declare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; I\u2019m from Baltimore, MD. While some parts of MD are yee yee, Baltimore is not, but I\u2019ll be diddly darned if I don\u2019t just randomly crave a sweet tea. But sometimes not enough to use a whole swipe. Do yourself a favor and stockpile your Cavern cups. That way, whenever you need to wet your whistle, you got your vessel there. YEE HAW!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>FRESHMAN FRESHMAN FRESHMAN<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Freshman literally have it made! 19 meals a week, AND they don\u2019t ever use their print money. Make good pals with a freshman, and you\u2019ll have always have an extra swipe for Cavern. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t bite the hand<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; They never forget faces down there in Cavern so always say please and thank you, smile and don\u2019t be annoying.
