Devil's Diner

Source: Jett Cattani

Every person in the world needs to eat. And this particular student is no different. In fact I have never seen a person take advantageous of their unlimited meal plan like this guy does. I seriously have no idea where it goes. The obvious reason why people eat is to live and recharge. But the Devil’s Diner in Palo Verde Main not only provides decent food to its patrons but grants a great environment for students to reside in. The many chairs and lounge areas to sit in gives the student the opportunity to study while they eat or talk while they consume their meals. According to the student that is being observed, he is very satisfied with the facilities of the Devil’s Diner. Because he frequents the diner so much he gains strength and energy as well as some rest time to tackle academics. The overall environment of the place is one that his positive and thus helpful to the own mental health. Thus, according to Lounsbury, “students satisfied with  one  domain  of  their  college  experience  are likely to be  satisfied  with  other  domains,  and  vice-versa”(717). Therefore, due to the fact that the student enjoys the atmosphere of the diner, this ultimately will spread to enjoying the overall other facilities of the campus. This mental boost is crucial in having and enjoying the benefits of overall campus life. Which in turn, will ultimately make a student much more easily attuned into maintaining a good academic GPA and being mentally healthy with the environment. For students living off campus eating at home on the other hand, will not experience the feeling of being satisfied with the diner and thus with all the other facilities of the school thus leading to an absence of the mental boost that students living on campus would gain. Otherwise, everyday life on campus would be a boring or frustrating struggle. The overall campus can be said to be driven on food, otherwise students would not even be able to study or even have healthy diets. The diner is definitely a recommended place to go for good food and some social activities.
