It's 5 p.m. and your stomach is growling like a lion. You remember you skipped lunch. Your class ended a few minutes ago and you're trying to decide where to eat and what to eat. You pull your cell phone out of your pocket and see that you have about two hours until your next class. As you walk around campus, you pause in front of Carl's Jr. but decide to skip the greasy fast food. Driving to a restaurant is an option but you don't want to lose your parking spot, so you decide to check out what's inside the Titan Student Union. When you enter the TSU, a gust of warm smells hit your face and the pain in your stomach increases. You debate between pizza and a sandwich. Sandwich wins.
