Washburn's Dinning Services

As you have noticed from before, my blog has talked a lot about exercising and staying healthy.  I have decided to narrow the topic down to ways Washburn students can stay in shape by taking advantage of places like the rec, and expanding more on that idea of what they have to offer as well as before when I mentioned that Washburn also has a path around their campus. Most of my topics will relate to the aspects Washburn has to provide you with your healthy lifestyle.

This week I want to mention around campus the areas of food that are offered and what you should be aware of when visiting these places.

The Memorial Union, connected to the LLC, is a great place to go eat.  Although, you need to be aware of the foods that are offered here.  Some of the options they have here are:
-Fried food
-Salad Bar
-Sandwich Station
-Pasta Bar
-Vending machines (including pop, water, juices)
-Specialty Bar (every day they change this area to something different ex: tacos, chicken, etc.)

*Breakfast lunch and dinner are all provided depending on the hours

There is also the Corner Store at the Union which is like a mini gas station store where you can buy items such as:
-drinks
-box dinners
-snacks

The Mabee Library has a coffee shop where they serve:
-Starbucks coffee
-lemonade
-juices
-pastries
-sandwiches
-salads

Also, each building has a vending machine with drinks provided and a snack machine with candy, etc.

We have to make sure that even though Washburn is providing all these wonderful places to eat, they all have unhealthy items that one cannot consume everyday or else you will be that "Freshman 15" and we don't want that!!

Be aware of what you are eating and try to eat little meals throughout the day more so than big meals of greasy, fatty foods just because they look good.  I hope this has helped you out and you decide you utilize Washburn's resources without overdoing it.
