Some Things Are Hard to Swallow

MULTIVITAMINS!

Since the dining hall at my school probably offers negative nutritional value (don't ask how this is possible. it just it.  they also somehow manage to take the flavor OUT of foods) I've been taking a multivitamin.  And damn the thing is HUGE!

The first time I took it I convinced myself I was dying because my pee was NEON (and I had forgotten that I'd taken the pill).  But once I realized that I was actually just peeing out excess vitamins, I was back to being distracted by other incidents that were probably signaling my death.

BUT the thing that has me freaked out now is the lack of neon pee.  Somehow the excess vitamins just aren't there anymore.  Where'd they go?  Well this is where the negative nutritional value comes in.  THE DINING HALL IS ACTUALLY SUCKING THE NUTRIENTS FROM MY BODY.  EVEN with a multivitamin offering OVER 100% the daily value of certain vitamins I DON'T have excess vitamins in my body!!!  I could literally be completely full, eat three meals a day, and STILL die of malnutrition.  WTF!

The one thing I can hope for is Thanksgiving.  I'll at least eat a few home cooked (and by home I mean dorm room microwave) meals.  Hopefully my body will be able to store up and I'll make it until winter break.

So while I don't like being thankful on a day that commemorates the mass extermination of a people, this holiday will most likely prevent my personal extermination due to a shitty dining hall, and for this at least I am grateful.
