Gronola, not just for the hippies.

Granola, a favorite past time of hikers everywhere, or just lazy college kids who don't to cook a healthy breakfast. Instead 28 seconds before rushing out the door, deciding that they are starving, reach up into the kitchen cabinet, that was make for someone much over 5'5, and grab a granola bar out of the green box. Slam it into the opposite pocket of the Victoria's Secret water bottle and continue to rush out the door. After all, the granola bar is much healthier than microwaving the frozen pizza from the night before and scarfing that before English class.
Eating a granola bar can not be done in a quite environment, the entire process is loud and attention getting. The bright green wrapper alone can catch an eye and then the noise that it makes when obtaining it out of your bag is too much. Tearing it open causes a ruckus too, the initial rip usually causes fragments of the granola to disperse onto the ground around you. Time to decide weather to attempt to eat the bar fully intact or to tear it apart and eat it in pieces, either way there will be fragments everywhere. Definatly not a food to eat at a crime scene, if you are a suspect that is.
So you tear it because you don't really have anything to lose at this point since you've already made a hot mess out of your designated area, and you shove a piece that is a little too big into your mouth. Crunchy and sweet, with a hint of honey, but flakes of it get stuck in the crevices of your teeth so you sit like a weirdo trying to get them out. Keep your water handy because after just one bite you feel like the granola has absorbed all the moisture in your mouth, so you take a swig of your water and keep eating the granola anyways, feeling sorry for the janitor that has to vacuum up all the tiny shreds or granola left on the grayish carpet below and wondering if the student that sits here next will wonder if it fell out of a hippies cargo short pocket. So delicious but such a scene, perhaps tomorrow the microwaved pizza will serve as breakfast of champions.
