What does it mean when...
I'd rather go without eating than have to buy food with my own money? Does it mean...A) I'm a poor college student that wants to save her money for the more important things in life like a car, gas money, beer and possibly an iPod? or B) I'm subconsciously trying to lose weight?

Any thoughts

3. 11 dollars worth of groceries have lasted me two weeks...
I'm down to 3 slices of bread, 1 poptart, a jar of peanut butter and a few packs of ramen

When I get hungry I usually do some work and then I forget that I was hungry

9. I'm living on campus
so the only bills are tuition and I've got loans up to my ears, but I don't have to worry about that till I graduate. I'm going home for 24 hours tomorrow and I need to hit up the Bank of Dad for some supplies.

6. Still learning what are priorities...
I recollect going without food, but collecting bottles and collecting the anti-litter deposit to buy beer.

Times were good.

:P

14. I have a small one
only 40 meals for the semester. But even they don't take effect until school officially starts on the 1st (Ive been stuck at school for pre-season and it's 12-15 hour work days) I'm sorta living out of a suitcase in a friend's apartment until my place is ready at the end of this month. That could have something to do with it...there is something so inviting about a brand new kitchen in a brand new townhouse...only two more weeks

13. Maybe nothing sounds good enough to make you get off of your
rear and buy it/fix it?

That happens to me frequently and it's not because I can't afford food. It's just that nothing sounds really good. I'd eat something if it was set in front of me but nothing strikes my fancy enough to motivate me to get up and get it.

16. I hate buying food because it's gone a few days later.
I like my purchases to be tangible and lasting.

17. a....you are a poor college student...
been there, done that. May I suggest Ramen? They have many different flavors and only cost 10 cents a pack. It's a great deal and can feed you long enough to save up for the IPOD or more likely, a case of beer.
