 The Banana Lounge is a space on campus that students can grab a banana, grab a drink, they can study, they can rest. It's basically a space that is meant to bring people together on people in the Maxis community. I'm Megan Lim and I'm currently Logistics Lead of Banana Lounge. My team works on a lot of the operational side of things. So there's ordering of bananas, there's ordering of the drinks and all the other consumables. Just yesterday we went through 53 banana boxes and each banana boxes has about 100 banana fingers. Right now it's being funded by UA and alumni donors, which we really appreciate. Volunteers care about the space a lot and also care about helping others. Why bananas? There's quite a lot of good reasons. It's very mean. That's something light-hearted that we appreciate and that we hopefully the MIT community appreciates as well. I heard about the Banana Lounge before I even stepped foot on campus. Every time I step in the space like there's usually at least one person, especially during the busy hours, there's like people you just someone you know like hey haven't seen you in a while or what are you doing here again at 2 a.m. in the morning. I think it's really important that it's student run. Like no one knows students better than students and that's what makes the place really unique to me because like people that benefit it is people like myself, people who struggle with p-sets, people who are just looking for a community. Students are active all times of the day. Like and if students need a space to grab a banana or grab a drink or like jump pick me up then that's what we want to be for them. It will be open 24-7. Sometimes at 2 a.m. you need food and Banana Lounge will be there for you. There's a wide variety of people at MIT and Banana Lounge wants to support those people. They want to study late at night. What's them study late at night? They want to play with Legos late at night with them. I see someone walking out if they don't have a banana. I know that person just doesn't have a banana Lounge. It makes me smile.
