The cafeteria is where you can sit down eat lunch and chill with your friends. You can talk and goof off a little bit without getting yelled at if your not to loud. You’re not allowed to use anything like iPods or phones though. As far as seats go basically it’s whoever gets there first gets it. Also the school lunches can be good sometimes but taste nasty others so packing lunch sometimes is recommended depending. Also I don’t think they do it anymore but, they had a traffic light down there for the lower grades they turned on that measured the noise level and if it got to red it would let out this really annoying loud pitch that hurts your ears then they yell at you for being too loud. The vending machines are nice to use but they are 75 cents to get stuff and some of it tastes nasty so in my opinion you should bring in your own snack from home. Also as far as the drinks go from the machines they are most of them are NASTY now so bring your own drink from home. and in my opinion $1.25 I think they are a rip but hey that’s just my opinion.
