Where to Eat on TCNJ’S Campus, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at TCNJ chapter.

Capricorn—The Goat (December 22-January 19): SubConnection

The ambitious Capricorn sets goals and will do anything to achieve them, which is exactly what one has to do if they want to get their hands on a sub from SubConnection during meal equiv. The line is always extremely long, but Capricorns know that a toasted buffalo chicken wrap is worth the wait and that their patience will help them avoid a bad meal elsewhere on campus. 

Aquarius—The Water Bearer (January 20-February 18): The Education Cafe

Although shy and quiet, the intellectual Aquarius has many thoughts running through their head. They prefer to be independent, making The Education Cafe the perfect spot on campus for them to recharge and complete some work before their next class, without being bothered by other noisy students. 

Pisces—The Fish (February 19-March 20): The Atrium at Eickhoff

Perhaps one of the most friendly signs, Pisces will love finding themselves in the company of very different people at The Atrium at Eickhoff. It’s very common for students to sit down with friends, acquaintances, or strangers in the center of the dining hall to squeeze in a quick meal before class. An uncomfortable situation for some, but an exciting and enjoyable experience for a Pisces. 

Aries—The Ram (March 21-April 19): Traditions

It’s only fitting that the first sign of the zodiac thrives on being number one and is always up for a challenge, which is exactly what the Ram will get on a Saturday morning at Traditions. TCNJ students love starting their weekends off with brunch at this on-campus restaurant. However, make sure you’re the first diner there or else you could be waiting for your food for an hour or, even worse, miss meal equiv. 

Taurus—The Bull (April 20-May 20): 31 North Deli

The practical Taurus thrives on sensual and tactile experiences and considers touch and taste to be the most important of the five senses, making a sandwich from the dining hall the perfect option. Whether munching on a bag of chips or having a hoagie in hand, a Taurus will not regret grabbing a quick bite from the delectable sandwich station. 

Gemini—The Twins (May 21-June 20): 91.3 Wokery

The twins will change their mood very quickly, making the wok station of the dining hall an ideal spot for a Gemini. Not sure exactly what you’re in the mood for? A bowl that combines your choice of both meats and vegetables will allow a Gemini to form their perfect meal, no matter what mood they’re in. 

Cancer—The Crab (June 21-July 22): Quimby’s Kitchen 

The homebody of a Cancer tends to get a little crabby when living away from home, making Quimby’s Kitchen the perfect dinner option on TCNJ’s campus for a Cancer. From baked ziti and meatballs to pork loin and veggies, a meal from Quimby’s is the closest thing to a slice of home that one may find at TCNJ. 

Leo—The Lion (July 23-August 22): The Lion’s Den

Of course Leo… uhh, I mean Roscoe the Lion will find his perfect meal at The Lion’s Den. This natural born leader has the potential to unite people as one, which is exactly what one can do at the den during meal equiv. Whether you’re in the mood for a sandwich, pasta, or even sushi, you can find your perfect meal here and then sit back with fellow TCNJ lions. 

Virgo—The Virgin (August 23-September 22): C-Street Grill

The practical Virgo that never leaves anything to chance can most likely be found at the C-Street Grill. They play it safe by getting a piece of grilled chicken or a cheeseburger instead of taking the risk of not enjoying his meal from Quimby’s Kitchen.  

Libra—The Scales (September 23-October 22): The Lib Cafe

The kind and laid-back Libra loves a good meal that they could enjoy while relaxing and recharging before starting their day. This is just what TCNJ students do at this popular spot during meal equiv. The Libra should be sure to grab a warm toasted bagel and a cup of fresh brewed coffee before hitting the books. 

Scorpio—The Scorpion (October 23-November 21): TDubs Dining Hall

A popular dining hot spot amongst freshmen students living in the towers at TCNJ, TDubs is a convenient place that serves up comfort foods and is open late-night. The resourceful and decisive Scorpio will take advantage of this dining option when midnight rolls around and they are craving those crispy chicken tenders and french fries. 

Sagittarius—The Archer (November 22-December 21): Roscoe’s Tacos

The energetic Sagittarius and their niche for traveling will love their dining experience at Roscoe’s Tacos. Looking for something new and exciting for dinner in the dining hall tonight? Customize a bowl or burrito with your favorite Mexican cuisine, and be sure to head over to the salad station afterwards to spice up your meal with extra toppings.

I’m Gianna and I’m a junior at The College of New Jersey studying Elementary Education and Psychology. When studying the mind and how it works, I became interested in how different foods make us feel and how they affect our bodies. This sparked an interest in my passion for healthy eating and fitness, but I can't credit my niche for food entirely to the field of psychology; my classic Italian family definitely had an impact. When I'm not spending my time with them, I also love running, cooking new recipes, and heading to the beach with my friends.
