Which NHS lunch is best?

First lunch is best

Third lunch is better

By Myllena Magalhaes, Staff Writer

My friend Myllena Magalhaes thinks that the third lunch at Norwood High is better than the first lunch. I beg to disagree.  

  

First lunch is 100 percent the better option for everyone attending Norwood High School.


Norwood High has three lunches. First lunch, which is before the fourth period, second lunch, which cuts in between the fourth period, and then third lunch. As there are many pros and cons to both, there are definitely more cons to the third lunch.


During the lunch period, lunch is always on a student's mind no matter what. It's in the middle of the day and kids need food to be energized. With first lunch, kids can just go straight to lunch and then right back to class ready to work. But with the third lunch, you have to wait for the whole block to eat. This will distract students from learning and just be hungry the whole entire time. 


Myllena argues that third lunch is always better since it's closer to the end of school but it is not really. The thought of having lunch after a block might seem like the day is going by shorter but in reality, it's not. With the first lunch, you can just get the rest of the day over with and look forward to the end of the day. 


First lunch also has the better food options with the food coming out right away and being served hot and fresh with third lunch the food is always what they have leftover and what goes on a heater to be served if there's no fresh food available


In conclusion, the first lunch is obviously the better option and has way more benefits than the third lunch altogether.

 In my opinion, I believe and know for a fact that 3rd lunch is the best. I can go on and on about why it is the best.


I like the third lunch because of the fact that after that we only have 2 full periods to complete the day. Whenever I have my first lunch I get hungry in the last period since I ate more than two hours ago which blows.


Another reason I love third lunch is that my classes during those periods are always good classes I enjoy and classes with all my friends like TV class, art class, and history.


Let's say you have an activity, sports, or plans to do after school and you had first lunch.  I can assure you will definitely be starving and you'll have to eat a lot of snacks, but if you had third lunch it is not that big of a problem because you ate lunch only 3 hours prior.  


Whenever you have your first lunch you rent able to eat as much as you want because there are still two lunches full of students to eat. Although when you have third lunch you get extra food if there is leftover because there are no lunch periods after.


Whether you like your fourth-period class or not when you have third lunch you have something to look forward to and with no hesitation, class passes by so much faster if you have third lunch.


In conclusion, third lunch is better to have rather first lunch. If this didn't convince you I don't know what will.
