Desperate times, unconventional measures...

So apparently this coming week is not the best for those of you who are attempting to sustain yourselves solely on food that you didn't pay for, so you're all going to have to get a little creative. I have stumbled across this gem outlining the least desirable ways one can attain free food, ranging from bartering to freeganism (new vocab word for me). Now, while foraging for food is always an option (and apparently this person's number one choice), I strongly recommend you do not eat any mushrooms you find, since they can be alarmingly poisonous (fun fact: for those who didn't already know, a fungus is the largest organism on Earth). If you think that these measures seem a tad too extreme, then here are some less controversial options I have assembled.


Wednesday 4/4:
  • In the College? Grab some free Cook-0ut at a Honor Mock Trial at 5:30 in Chem 304.
  • Celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with free dumplings and drinks from 6:15-7:15 in Clark 107 while listening to a lecture about opium.
  • Eat free food under the shroud of night while stargazing with UPC from 8-1o on the Lawn.
Thursday 4/5: apparently pizza is the thing to eat tonight...
  • This may be a tad unconventional, but the first 24 people who go to a Mental Wellness Screening (11-3/Newcomb Ballroom) will get free pizza and everyone who goes can enter a raffle for free dinner at the corner.
  • Grab some free pizza at the Newcomb Gallery during a forum on HIV/AIDS and a screening of the film "The Pan-African Express" from 6-9.
  • There will also be pizza served at a lecture "Thailand from Below" in Gibson Hall 211 at 6:15.
Friday 4/6:
  • Don't forget to pick up your free slurpee/soda/coffee at 7-11!
  • If you're feeling up to it, First Fridays will be happening downtown from 5-9, and with all the open galleries, I think you can find enough hors d'oeuvres to count as dinner.
Sunday 4/8:
  • Free kabobs courtesy of Afghan Day from 2-4 in the Newcomb Kaliedescope Room
