17. Always Back to the PB&J

Here at BYU, I rarely have time to focus on things that I use to take up so much time with back home. At BYU, I always have to be at class, doing my homework, working out, socializing, going to work, or sleeping. There is hardly ever any time for anything else. I found that I barely have enough time for food. I routinely get a Subway footlong every day, using my Employee Meal Card allowing me to eat anywhere on campus for half the price.

One footlong from Subway isn't enough to feed me every day. I'm a pretty big boy, and big boys have to eat! Seeing that I have little time for anything else, I rarely find any time to fix myself a nice, homely meal. Back during the summer semester, I practically lived off of ramen noodles. Shortly before summer semester ended, I ran out. I ran out of my source of food! I had no idea what to do, so I resorted to finishing off all of my cereal so I could delay my decision. I eventually ran out of all my food before I needed an intervention. 

I had to go shopping. I just had to get some groceries. But what in the world did I know how to cook!? Then I realized that I didn't even need to cook anything. The Creamery sold, bread, peanut butter, and jelly. I sure did love me some peanut butter! I decided to try it! Man oh man, I sure did love those toasted PB&J's! I just couldn't ever seem to get enough of them! I devoured my food, going through it like it would go through a garbage disposal. There were even several days which I went through an entire loaf of bread, all for the sake of making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 

I eventually realized that this went through my money faster than it did when I went to Subway daily. I decided that I would have to give up the PB&J's, no matter how much I craved them. So I finished the last of my PB&J supplies, expecting to never give in to the evil temptation again. Little did I know, it would only be three short weeks until I decided to try the PB&J's again. It was a bad idea. I ended up spending over $30 just for the materials to make the sandwiches in less than three days! I realized that I would never be able to escape its temptation. 

Now I'm back to the sandwiches again. I will never escape them, but I will always come back to them. They are just too delicious to ever give up. Even if I wanted to give them up, I wouldn't because they are just too delicious to me. If it weren't for them, I would not have lasted this semester and live to tell the tale.
