I was so poor in college. I had almost 0 help from parents. Maxed out student loans. My bank account never had more than $300 One time when I had $0 to my name, I waited for my roommate to finish his $3 frozen pizza so I could eat the crust for dinner lol Also my roommate knew I was waiting for his crusts lmao. I asked him if I could have them. It wasnt like he threw it in garbage then I scavenged after he went to bed. He was very poor as well and it wasnt super awkward or anything lol, he got it. Still, I was like a little vulture waiting for the lions to be done with the carcass. His gf was in living room and goes “Phil hes starving just give him a piece” He was like “i know i feel bad but I am hungry too and I need to eat”. I didnt want a handout so I made it clear he didnt need to give me anything. He ended up leaving me 2 full pieces of pizza and 6 crusts. I was grateful and happy as fuck for it and thought he was a good fucking dude for that. He helped me out a few times and I helped him. Idk why but I didnt feel bad/weird about eating my roommates pizza crusts at that time. And overall I was actually quite happy. All my roommates were poor but we tried to help each other when we could. There were 4 of us living in a shitty off campus house for $700/month total. One of our roommates got quite a bit more help from his family, he gave us rides to school cuz he had a nice car. Hed spot us if we were behind on rent. All just weird in hindsight. But wasnt weird at all at time. The funny thing was we NEVER went without beer or cigarettes on the weekend lmao. We went without food sometimes but never beer and cigs. We always found a way to have those at the house. Since we were off campus, we threw a lot of parties and people would bring beer and cigs. Good times back then. Would do anything to go back for a night. But just 1 night cuz that house was a complete dump.
