i like eating with people. i feel sorry for people who have to eat alone. i feel extra sorry for myself if i have to eat alone. in fact i hate it so much i just gulp down whatever it is that i needed for nutrition at the time or to avoid a headache and then deal with a slight stomach ache later for eating fast. in college it was totally weird walking around eating because of time constraints. freshman year it was in the mornings that i would have to eat alone so i would just take a coke and walk all the way down 3rd street before 8 in the am. sophomore year most of the time my sched was so tight that i had to grab a 50 cent bagel for lunch at jordan hall [blueberry bagels were like candy] and run back to the library to study. or junior year get some odd flavored popcorn and run upstairs to the imu lounge to loudly crunch on it people watching and studying if i couldn't find someone to lunch with. senior year i would just skip dinner if one of my friends weren't available. for me it's disturbing eating alone. i wonder why i'm so uncomfortable with it
