Crepes Galore

This week I decided to try something that had been suggested to me countless times during my daily trips to Pollock Dining Hall. I had been feeling kind of off this week, so I knew I needed something chocolate-y and sweet to cheer me up. Thankfully, the Nutella crepe I had for dessert did the job.

Before I left for dinner, I did some research so I knew what to expect. Here’s what I found through Google Images.

 



Is your mouth watering yet?



While the crepe at Pollock did not look nearly as gourmet as some of the pictures above do, it certainly tasted just as I expected. A thin layer of dough, with creamy Nutella spilling out of the sides, garnished with strawberry sauce and whipped cream. Yum!

The only problem with trying this crepe this week was that I now have an entire semester left (which will surely include a few more bad days or weeks), in which I can eat my feelings through this chocolate haven. It was all I could do today to refrain from getting a second one!

Perhaps what I’ve learned about myself this week is that while it may be easy to gorge myself on comfort food at the end of a bad day, it won’t help in the long run. There was really no reason for my feeling bad this week; it was just one of those weeks. It was a week with too much work, a week without enough sleep, and a week sufficiently lacking any “me time”. The only way I can fix my attitude in those kinds of weeks is to take a deep breath and plow through it. So, although I certainly don’t regret having that calorie and sugar filled treat, the delectable taste of this crepe made me realize I am at a high risk of becoming one of the “girls who eat their feelings” in the cafeteria.
