I had a magical experience last Friday night: I tried Pokey Sticks for the first time. But before I go into that experience, I want to set the scene. 

On Friday, I finished up my school work in the Atherton lobby before preparing to go out with my friends. For about two and a half hours I worked on Webassign questions and Bisci journals as I watched passerbys chatter on about their plans for the night. I got more and more anxious as the time ticked by, but finally, I completely all that I had to do. I rushed upstairs and began to get ready for the night ahead. My friends and I had planned to go to dinner at BRGR for my friend Emily’s 19th birthday before heading out for the night. I put on a cute satin dress and some suede heels in preparation for group pictures before dinner. Next, I straightened my hair, put on jewelry, and applied some makeup. When I was all ready, I went back down to the lobby and met my friends to walk to the restaurant. 

At BRGR, I ordered a delicious cheese burger with avocado and a pumpkin milkshake. I enjoyed spending time with my friends and hearing about their weeks since I had been too busy to hang out with them during the week. We finished our meals, paid, then made our way back to Atherton to change into our Halloween costumes. 

I quickly changed into a nerd costume with some fake glasses that I bought at McLanahan’s for $2.50. Again, I made my way back to the lobby and we ordered an Uber to take us up to Beaver Avenue since it was raining. Once we arrived at the house, we paid a few dollars to enter then made our way in. I saw many of my friends there that I had no idea would be there. I enjoyed dancing and singing with my friends for a few hours before we decided it was getting late and we should head back to get some rest. We ordered another Uber since it was still raining and made our way back home. When we got to Atherton, we went up to my friend Erica’s dorm room. 

Since we didn’t stop for food on the way home, we decided to order from Gumby’s. We order Pokey Sticks. I had never had Pokey Sticks before, but I was hungry so I pitched in for our order. They arrived about 30 minutes later and we dug in. Pokey Sticks are basically just a huge box of cheesy breadsticks that come with marinara sauce. My first bite had me coming back for more. They were delicious! My friends and I ate the whole box within minutes and were left with smiling faces and slightly upset stomachs. Overall, I would say that Pokey Sticks are a great alternative to getting a pizza if you want something to eat late at night. I will definitely be ordering again soon.
