Not looking for hidden gems, I want the places everyone ends up at repeatedly around Manipal Institute of Technology.

The default hangout food spots, the ones you go to when you are tired, broke, or just cannot decide.

What are people ordering on autopilot at this point and which places never disappoin?

Was just going through some old photos and somehow ended up in a full spiral of late night food runs, random beach plans, and those “I’ll start studying tomorrow” phases that never really ended.

Life’s more structured now, but also kind of… predictable? Back then everything felt chaotic but fun in a way that’s hard to explain. Even the small things like walking to class half-asleep or bumping into people you knew everywhere.

Do you ever feel like that phase had its own vibe that’s impossible to recreate, or am I just romanticising it way too much?
