Ah. Hello everyone. I can barely hold back the excitement that is surging through my fingers as I type this . On Wednesday, February 24th, 2010, one of the most important and essential events occurred for Mount students across the city of Delhi. No, we didn't get another snow day. It wasn't declared "stand on your head during lecture" day, either (darn!). Instead, it was an event that has been declared once a year since I have been attending MSJ............FREE CHIPOTLE DAY.
Yes, you read that correct. Free Chipotle. I'm not sure how or why it started, but it seems to be a kind tradition that the local Chipotle branch puts on in order to boost business, or perhaps just to show how much they love MSJ (GO LIONS!). Either way, it is free food, and let me tell you....it gets a little crazy.
It began with a flier that was slid under my door at some ridiculous hour of the night on Tuesday. My roommate and I blinked and stared at it, re-reading it multiple times. We held it up to the light to inspect the paper fibers, and used our black light to check for fingerprint (not really). Why, it was too good to be true. According to this paper, as long as we brought our MSJ Student ID card to the local Chipotle, we could get a FREE burrito or bowl. WHAT!!! My mouth was watering as I thought about it, in fact I may have drooled on the flier just a little bit. Free food is free food when you are in college, but free Chipotle?!?! That's like giving out a free car. In fact, its more exciting than watching curling on the Olympics. Either way, I had to take advantage of it. When the Chipotle employee placed that steaming hot burrito in my hands and smiled at me while the cash register rang up my total of $0.00, I think I fell in love (with the burrito, not the employee). By far, free Chipotle day for MSJ students is the most prominent and epic day in the entire academic school year. I can barely wait for it to come around again next year.
