Everyone knows that the college diet differs tremendously from anyone else’s day to day meal. Living off no money and cafeteria food only gets you so far in life. Thankfully, pizza exists. With low-quality standards and high-quality taste, this cheap dish satisfies any hungry student’s soul.

The way of pizza has become a lifestyle to many college students across the country. From helping push through all-nighter to making friends and becoming the completing factor for “Netflix and chill,” pizza is now an important part of college life.

Across the nation, students are relying on these pies to accomplish day-to-day activities. The ever-growing phenomenon Yik Yak proves just how much college students’ lives revolve around pizza.
