On-campus dining is a blessing and a curse. Not having to cook for yourself is convenient, but after a while you may start to crave some variety and the power to choose what you have for your meals. I felt that, and I think I hacked the meal plan system, so here are some Wofford dining hacks from a senior who quickly learned how to make on-campus dining feel like her own kitchen.

First off, as scrumptious as they are, please do not get a Chick-fil-a crispy chicken sandwich for every meal. They are great, but all good things must come to an end. If you eat a chicken sandwich for every meal, you will soon hate chicken sandwiches. Remember, everything in moderation, so follow these hacks to find some ways to spice up your dining hall picks.

Do you enjoy a caprese sandwich? Make one at Zach’s by asking for a ciabatta roll with your choice of protein, mozzarella, tomato, arugula, pesto, balsamic and salt and pepper.

Are you a vegetarian? Boars Head might seem daunting considering it is centered around meats. However, they offer hummus and other vegetarian friendly options. Try this hummus wrap out; it is packed with protein and flavor.

Order a wrap of your choice. I prefer spinach, with hummus and provolone cheese. Then, add mixed greens, cucumbers, carrots, banana peppers, tomatoes, pesto, balsamic and salt and pepper. Substitute what you wish, and this wrap is an easy, tasty trick.

Do not forget that even if you get Boars Head, you can get a side of Chick-fil-a waffle fries with your meal swipe. The chips and fruit cups of cantaloupe and melons can get old quickly, so I suggest getting some waffle fries every once in a while with your sandwich.

If there is a day where absolutely nothing seems appetizing to you in Burwell, do not worry. Here are some meals you can make.

First, make your own grain bowl, just like Chipotle or Cava, but free. Grab some rice or quinoa and use that as your base. Next, add some veggies and beans. Burwell almost always has steamed broccoli and cauliflower, which are easy ways to get in some nutrients.

Add a protein and whatever other toppings seem appealing to you. Then, head to the salad bar and top your bowl off with a sauce or dressing, or even hummus from the sandwich station. This staple makes Burwell a great filling meal, and you do not have to rely on the entrees to ensure that you will be pleased.

If you are ever extra hungry, capitalize on this system hack. Zach’s computer system is slow, so if you use your meal swipe first at Zach’s, you can then quickly run over to Burwell and also swipe there before it hits the system. Enjoy your Zach’s fries and your Burwell ice cream for free.

The Galleria in Phase V is limited in menu options, but timing is key. Do not, under any circumstances, get there at 12:20. Especially if you have a 1:00 class, you will not get your food in time. Instead, try to go at 11:20, as the line is much more manageable.

If the Galleria fries seem a little bland, try mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, salt and pepper to make a special fry sauce. As a last resort, if none of the options seem feasible, head into the market and grab some sushi or a salad with your meal swipe.
