As most Maroons know, a meal swipe is equivalent to eight dollars. But, have you noticed how tricky it is to get full value out of a single swipe? Sure, you can get whatever you\u2019d like at Commons, but at other dining options such as Freshens, Cavern, and Rooney\u2019s Brews it often feels like some of that money is being wasted. Well at least to me \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n After countless visits to Rooney\u2019s Brews I\u2019ve finally figured out the perfect swipe. This is a large iced chai latte with a dairy alternative and a bagel toasted with your choice of spread. For me this means a flavored (typically vanilla) iced chai and a bagel to pair with a dairy-free spread that I keep in my dorm room. Though I do live on the edge sometimes and just get the cream cheese.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While this might not be the perfect swipe for you, it\u2019s definitely the perfect swipe for me. Bagels are my comfort food and also what I eat when I\u2019m not intrigued by what Commons is serving that day. Chai lattes are my go-to when I\u2019m looking for a boost that\u2019s less than what a coffee or espresso-based drink would provide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But now I\u2019m curious to know what other perfect swipe combinations there are. I\u2019ll have to let you all know if I can figure out any others, but please do tell me if you find any on your own — your fellow Maroons will definitely thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Marisa Seager As most Maroons know, a meal swipe is equivalent to eight dollars.
