College life is hard. Somehow, they expect you to wake up for 7 a.m. classes while fueled on a diet that consists mostly of $1 ramen noodles. So when Em, a hungry Texas State University student from San Marcos, Texas, fancied a bite to eat, she and her roommate Madelynn decided to put out a call for help in the form of a sign in her dorm room window.
And soon enough, they had a reply from the boys downstairs...
Em and Madelynn replied...
Boys being boys...
I thought this was supposed to be about food.
WHERE'S THE FOOD?!
Em decided to share the exchange on Twitter, where it's since attracted over 93,000 retweets and 330,000 likes.
we put a sign up to bring food to our dorm and the guys below us replied
