10 Realizations You’ll Have During Your Last Time in a Michigan Dining Hall

As the school year comes to a close, anyone who won’t be living in the dorms next year will be swiping into the dining halls for one last time. Yay for no more gross dining hall food, but now the reality is setting in, and the reality is that you’re going to have to fend for yourself. There are both pros and cons to the ending of the dining hall experience, but regardless of your overall satisfaction, you’re sure to experience several of these realizations after your final swipe.
