Guilty of leaving boot o’clock a little early to get a head start on the City Diner line? Or perhaps you’ve indulged in a box of half-eaten district donuts in the dark corner of your dorm room? No worries, we’ve all been there. We surveyed the campus and had students reveal their most outrageous late night drunchie experiences.

“My friend and I became friends with our Israeli cab driver. He suggested we all go to Cleo’s Mediterranean restaurant downtown at 2:30 a.m., so the three of us ate falafel and schwarma together. It was magical.”

“Once I came home and made a pb&j, took one bite, and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning with it still in my hand so I ate the rest for breakfast.”

“A lot of times when I get home I’ll sit with a spoon, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly and just go back and forth between the jars.”

“One day during Mardi Gras I ate an entire bag of gluten-free pretzels and woke up with my hand and face in the bag. There were crumbs in my boobs.”

Tara Taco

“Went home from happy hour one night super excited to eat Rum House leftovers, so I threw the taco in the microwave, went to the bathroom, and forgot that I had already bout it in the microwave. Then I spent 20 minutes drunkenly searching the fridge for my to-go box. When I couldn’t find it I went to bed annoyed at my roommates for moving/eating/throwing out my food. The next morning, just as I accused them of eating it, one of my roommates opened the microwave to make oatmeal and there was my taco, just sitting there.”
Milkshake Mistake Marge

“ I had no food other than ice cream and was really feeling a milkshake but my drunk self thought beer could replace milk. Alas, a beer float.”

“I once walked in on of my suite-mates dipping cinnamon sticks from Domino’s into ranch. They were so drunk they literally thought the ranch was the cinnamon stick frosting…”

“My best friend loves Domino’s and once was so drunk that she wrote ‘pls come soon’ instead of a zip code for a 1:00 a.m. order.”

The Cookie Kooks

“We thought it would be a smart idea to make cookies in the Sharp Hall kitchen while we were drunk. Everything was going perfectly until we had to take them out of the oven and realized we forgot oven mitts…so we used what we thought was the next best thing: soapy, wet sponges. It didn’t go too well.”

“I blacked out freshman year and woke up the next morning not with a boy, but an empty (scraped clean) jar of Nutella in my bed. Before I went out, it was unopened.”
Trashcan Potato

“I made chicken and potatoes once, but the potatoes weren’t up to my standards so I got mad and threw them out. About an hour later I ate a few from the top of the trash pile. My boyfriend now calls me trashcan potato. Worth it.”
