SNU’s first Food Truck Frenzy of the year was a delectable evening of food, creativity, and community. With the spotlight on the “Psycho Truck” food truck, students enjoyed psychology-themed menu items like “The Distracted,” “The Confusion,” and “The Bizybody,” all while partaking in activities like Bob Ross-inspired painting and a Super Smash Bros tournament. The event brought students together to relax and connect, offering something for everyone!
Janeth Reyna, a junior at SNU, summed up her night in three words: “Tacos, painting, and gaming.” Her enthusiastic description perfectly captured the event’s essence. Convinced by her friends to attend, Reyna was not disappointed. “The nachos were so good; a ten out of ten,” she exclaims, adding that the Bob Ross painting session was her favorite part of the evening. For future Food Truck Frenzy events, Reyna suggested bringing an ice cream truck to campus.
The food truck’s creative menu was a hit. Karla Trejo, another junior, praised both the variety of options and the staff’s friendliness. “The vibes brought me here,” she states. “I was ready to have a great time with all my friends!” While Trejo enjoyed gaming, the painting session resonated most with her group, as it allowed everyone to express themselves creatively. Looking ahead, Trejo suggested acai bowls and a movie night with a late-night breakfast bar. Her three words to sum up the evening: “Laughter, fun, inclusive.”
Sophomore, Isabelle Smith echoes the enthusiasm, calling the event, “relaxing and community-building.” Smith attended to unwind with friends after a long week. Similar to Reyna, Smith rated the food ten out of ten, collectively agreeing that the Bob Ross painting event was the best. “It was so funny watching all of us trying to keep up with the video,” she voices. Smith also suggested bringing back outdoor movie nights for future Food Truck Frenzy events.
Events like Food Truck Frenzy offer students more than just a break from their busy routines; they create opportunities to foster connections and build cherished memories. With delicious food, engaging activities, and a vivid atmosphere, Food Truck Frenzy delivered exactly what it promised: a chance to connect with the SNU community. Whether it was the competitive energy of Smash Bros, the creative chaos of painting, or the flavorful delights of “Psycho Truck,” attendees left with smiles and plenty of memories. As students look forward to future events, one thing is clear–Food Truck Frenzy has solidified its place as an SNU favorite.
