Anyways, today I went to a free brunch at Sydney-Pacific dorm. Approximately every other week, some organization will host a free brunch for graduate students, for the sake of socializing I think. Today's brunch was sponsored by some prize giving organization at MIT, so I guess there were ulterior motives for offering free food today. The food however, was pretty fantastic, with a line of people out into the hall way waiting. I got my weekly fruit servings here, with kiwis, apricots, mangos, watermelons, papayas, and more. Of course, there were also the standard breakfast foods such as pancakes, sausages, eggs, etc.

Just to add to today's theme of free food, I'll mention some other places with free food. There is Two-Dollar Tuesdays, sponsored by the GSC (Graduate Student Council), where $2 basically buys you all you can eat catered food. I have yet to make this one, and thus am not considered a "real" graduate student. Also, seminars tend to have amazingly delicious deserts. OMG describes it pretty accurately for people of my age (early 2o's).

Moral of today? Free food is definitely good at times. You don't want to overdo the free pizza, but other times, free food can serve as a vital supplement to your healthy diet. It's free, and it's an excuse to socialize and meet other graduate students. In my experience, free food tends to be a sign that whatever event is offering it is worth going to, even without the free food.
