Friendly's

Since the dining halls are closed, we students have been forced to eat in the campus center.  This usually isn't too bad, but since this is the second week we have had to endure this, it is  honestly making us sick thinking about gorging on Wendy's, Sbarro's, or Au Bon Pain (even though this place serves some of the best soups ever.  I'm in love with the Broccoli Cheddar).  Although I'm broke, my friends and I decided to go to Friendly's (after we saw the entree and sundae special for $9.99 sign as we passed by).  Friendly's is one of those places that I used to love going to when I was younger.  Even as I grew up, it was a staple in a lot of my memories.  When we came to visit my sister the first time when she was in college, we went to Friendly's.  When I forced my mom and sisters to head down to Waldenbook's at 6:00 in the morning for the new Harry Potter book, we went to Friendly's.  When I met my brother-in-law for the first time, we went to Friendly's.  I really can't tell anyone why that is, but nonetheless, it seems like a place that I go to for sepcial experiences.  I missed how good the food was and the way the sundaes seem like the most amazing ice cream concoctions ever, even though you know they were done the same way any others are.  I don't know if this time will be something I remember forever, but for tonight, it was the highlight of my day.
