Easy Breakfasts to Make When You’re Rushing to Class

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

Let’s be real. We all have those days when we are not feeling the caf food. Whether you’ve had too many tater tots or you’re just tired of having the same bagel, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich every morning; I know how you feel.

It’s time to mix things up. This is where BYOB comes in: build your own breakfast. This may seem daunting, but trust me on this, you will be much happier after you stop repeatedly circling breakfast potatoes on the Grill tickets. Think outside the school menu and create meals that appeal to you.

Here are three simple breakfasts, all made with food offered in the Caf, that are sure to get you out of your breakfast rut:
