But in the past, I’ve received some feedb ...

Did your high school have an open campus lunch or were you one of the unlucky ones? I hate to break it to you, but there is truly no experience that could compare to piling seven deep in a friend's car and zipping across the street to the mall food court for a slice of Rocky Rococo's pepperoni pizza and a pink lemonade.
