WE ARE HANGRY*!

This year, in October, as we came back to our college, we were surprised with a little change - there was no canteen!

As we spent long hours at the campus, we found it really sad. We believe that, no matter where we are, everyone deserves a hot meal — especially when it’s cold outside.

We asked students about what they though about the lack of a canteen. Most of them were shocked as we were and had no clue what was going on. Some of them were disappointed and frustrated, because there are no grocery stores around. Only few people didn’t care.

The effect was easy to notice- students were sad, had no energy and didn’t feel like studying at all. We couldn’t even drink coffee (apart from the coffee from a vending machine, but this coffee can only make us feel dizzy). We needed a canteen not only for the sake of nutrition. We also wanted a place to hang out and just rest between lectures. Our dream canteen should have options for each student: allergic to gluten, vegans etc. For example, groats are ok for everybody, but if we put butter to this, then is not a vegan dish any more. This is an example of the mistake the previous canteen used to make.

Fortunately enough, our prayers have been answered! A long-awaited canteen is back and we are quite happy about it. Not all of us are content about the quality of food served there, though. There are not many options for healthy food enthusiasts. We can order so called ‘’Fast food” like French fries. The only exception is a constantly changing menu, so maybe (sometimes) we will pick up a bargain to eat something delicious! The place itself is cosy and welcoming. You can now can sit on more comfortable sofas, drink coffee, do your homework and spend time with your friends from the group.

Well, it could be better but it’s definitely better than nothing.The time will show if WE will be still ANGRY or just HUNGRY.

• Hangry — When you are so hungry that your lack of food causes you to become angry, frustrated or both.
