Foodie and sporadic health nut Anna Hotter guides you through the tumultuous world of hygienic eating around Columbia, or you could go back to your dorm and use that microwave you haven’t cleaned all year to heat up those 3 day old leftovers from HamDel. As a college student, I feel that my standards regarding […]
