The 5 Stages of Anxiety That Come With Ordering Food Over the Phone
It's late and the dining halls close. Stomachs rumble, and roomies exchange wary looks. There is the silent question of who will be waging war tonight between their stomach and their brain.
What's worse, being hungry or being anxious?
Now, I can't say I'm sure if it's just a millennial thing or if everyone feels like Michael Cera at a social function when trying to speak on the phone, but there is an undeniable panic that sets in the second someone says, "hey, order us a pizza!"
Let us take a look at the grueling steps of getting yourself some G.D. takeout.1. Denial

2. Anger

3. Bargaining
4. Depression

5. Acceptance
There's always next time.
