Depends

College students should know they can cook with a coffeemaker

it's a whole ass mini grill. Cook some eggs on there, maybe bacon

I was on my own at 15 and poor that's how I learned lol

Used to use that coffee pot to take a hot sponge bath because of no hot water

I need a jet boil

shit you were poor

Buy cheap 20lb sack of flour and live off it for a month

You haven't lived until you cooked a whole meal , including fried cornbread in only a mess kit

I started out with 2 garbage bags of clothes and that was it

Rice too

Sorry to hear of your past circumstances @BugsyBaldwin

Yep rice, flour, beans

Salt, flour, baking soda

Bannock bread like a ma fucker

I’ve gone weeks on eating every other day or so maybe a sandwich and beans and rice

Or hardtack that shit will last a century

I've had small hunk of cheese that was kept cold by the ground next to my sleep system. Best tasting fucking food I had all year, as I was out training for three days in 40 degree weather and the rain with almost no food

Rice has been main part of what i eat for whole life

I think I had about 400 calories across those three days

That's rough man

It was so much fun

to clarify I didn't have to

I used to eat every other day a sandwich and rice and beans. It’s good for character building

You don’t need to eat some immaculate meal every day

/3 meals a day I should say

Yeah I dont do that as is. Need to though so i can put some decent weight on

You go what 21 days before starving?

Eat twice a day and snack and see how much better you feel after a week

For being on my own at 15 I have done pretty well never used welfare and always worked and lived fairly frugally. Now I have a 5 bedroom house with private lake access a a big old dodge diesel and a brand new van a good woman and healthy children and I also care for my one nephew and my wife's niece and nephew free of char

Charge

Fuck yeah man

It builds character

It makes you work hard as fuck so you never have to be back in that place.

Yep thays why I cant stand when people say "because of x reason I couldn't work harder to not be a loser criminal welly bum etc"

Also shows what you can go through and bounce back

Dude, my dad worked 80hr weeks as a farmer my entire life, still does to this day. reason being, my grandparents had literally nothing barely clothes on their backs

Been through quite a bit had my house burn down and lost everything had friends murdered etc

if we work hard now, we set up a good foundation for our future generations.

kids, grandkids

Yep last week including the weekend I work about 90+ hours
