What am I going to eat for dinner? Me and lots of other college students wonder the same thing as we patiently wait for the cafe in Lincoln Residential Hall to open each night. For me, eating at the LRH cafe works out perfectly because I really don't have to worry about waiting a long time for my food, or even worry about trying to carry a massive tray of food to where I'd like to sit. The workers at the cafe realize that my physical disability limits my capability to carry large quantities of food, and they gladly bring the food to me.
The real challenge for me, besides the physical limitation of being unable to carry a large amount of food, is the fact that being legally blind means that- when I first ate at the cafe, I had to ask someone to tell me what was on the menu, in order for me to successfully determine what I wanted to have for dinner. Since then, I have memorized a lot of the menu, and I can now determine exactly what I feel like eating that night- except when there are specials involved; that makes deciding what to have for dinner a bit challenging.
