Need a Quick Bite From a Very Common Place?
I was at work today trying to decide where to eat at lunch time. Nearby was a McDonalds and a Seven-Eleven. Now I, like most people, go to seven eleven for simple things like gum, chips, maybe a hot dog. But today I saw a wrap, a chicken breast and Monterey Jack wrap. I thought it seemed a little small, but I was willing to give it a try because it had roasted red peppers ― my favorite ingredient for anything food related. I also got a bag of their Onion Ring chips which were only about 79 cents! The wrap was $4.69 which I felt was a little much considering their sandwiches cost less, but I was hoping the wrap would be good.
So I took the wrap out, took my first bite and was pleasantly surprised. There was some mayo in it, but not too much. I wished there were more red peppers, but they were pretty tasty. The chicken, I felt was a bit dry and kind of brought down the taste of the wrap. I re-looked at the label: it suggested heating the wrap, which I plan on trying next time. The onion rings, which were basically Seven-Eleven’s equivalent of Funyuns, were better than Funyuns. They have much more flavor and more rings per bag than Funyuns.
All in all, I would go back to get it again. It was delicious but I wish it was bigger and had more filling, and I wish the chicken wasn’t so dry.

Real People Profiles: Brandon McClary
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty and staff, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Hometown: Frederick, MD
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: 4 years.
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Meyerhoff Scholar and Student Events Board President.
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I could never imagine my collegiate experience without involvement in student activities. Whether it involves planning large scale events such as Quadmania or making someone’s day just by giving away cotton candy, it’s so gratifying to know that I’ve made an impact here at UMBC.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: College isn't all about studying; it's about learning, learning that takes place both inside and outside of class. It's here that you realize what life is about and who you really are. During my time at UMBC, I've learned a lot about myself. I am a lot more confident in myself and in my abilities.
Q: Complete this sentence: “I am a big fan of __________”
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: UMBC has an underground tunnel system. You're not supposed to go down there, but I know a few people that have. I heard somewhere that the tunnel system carried all the data, water, and electrical connections between buildings. Each building used to have at least one entrance door into this tunnel system, some more secure then others.
My advice:
1. Broaden your horizons. Don't do yourself the injustice of doing the same old thing. Get involved and try something new.
2. Don't complain and wait for things to happen on campus. If there is something that you don't like, do something about it and try to find a way to change it. Nothing is inevitable, but anything is possible.
