Crimson Conclusion

-It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
-A crowd at each station waiting for food
-Chefs and cashiers screaming out numbers in no specific order
- The "Grill" station is over flowing with people and hostility
-Metal Music playing while Basketball game is on the TV(odd combination)
-Conversation at every table which makes it more noisy
-Mixture of different smelling foods but smells delicious
-Different foods such as chicken tenders, burgers, salads, quesadillas, asian noodles, and pizza.
-Tables aren't as clean as usual, probably because it is packed with people. Lucky to get a seat


Crimson is the place to be when wanting a a late night snack or dinner. Since ECC and Tilly close somewaht early, East Campus residents usually go to Crimson for some food when hungry. In fact I actually saw some friends who live at Woodward that were at Crimson because they think it is that good and is worth the ten minute walk in the cold. Crimson is usually a place for residents only since the times of opening and closing which is usually around afternoon and varies to stay open til 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Crimson is usally crowded, but tonight is was hard to find a seat and took longer to get your food. I got a Chicken Caesar Salad which usually takes 5 minutes maximum and tonight I was waiting for atleast 10 minutes if not longer.

  1. The notes you have used really give me the feeling of crimson, even though I've been there. You used your sensory images well and made strong observations as to why Crimson can be very popular for students. Hopefully you'll be able to put these same images into your gym essay.

  2. The observations that you have made about the Crimson Dining hall really gave me a sense of what it is like in there. I have never been in there because I am a commuter. However these observations have allowed me to get a vivid image of what Crimson looks like. It was easy to understand how popular it is to residents because you mentioned how they will walk in the cold just to get something to eat. Also, it was easy to understand how busy the dining hall can be by your description of: the noise, seating and getting food. I Cannot wait to see the description, and sensory details you put into your essay.
