the bus routes are extremely convenient and have stops at every Publix

You should get an awesome bicycle with a ton of straps and metal baskets on it

Like a mountain bike type thing

Well, since you've had a similar experience in your early 20s, maybe a better question would be, in the mind of your 20 year old self, would my situation be acceptable? Obviously for a real adult with a real job this would be unthinkable, but what if you put yourself in the situation of college student version of you?

Of course it's acceptable, I mean, you do what you gotta do to save money and feed yourself.

It's acceptable because it's all you can do at the moment. It's not a bad thing--just going through that rough phase where even getting food is difficult

But definitely find ways of being more efficient, like getting a bike

The bus fare will cost the same soon, anyway

Freedom of travel and independence does wonders for morale

I used to sleep on my folded clothes on a hardwood floor and had no phone, tv, or internet, just a radioand a bible sitting on a desk I built out of scrap wood.

Was 100%, easily, the most advantageous time in my life. never will I have the free time I had then for self reflection, learning, reading, etc

It sucked, but man, I ran through reading lists like I was in prison or something

Okay here's another question. Is there anything wrong with going shopping directly after going to the gym? Like, obviously I might smell a bit bad, but does anyone notice that when they're grocery shopping?

Depends on *how bad* you sweat or smell

Most people could get away with it

I just lifted weights. Didn't do extreme cardio or anything.

You're probably fine

Just bring a shirt to change out of

ya

I changed my shorts for jeans. I'm not gonna go looking homeless or anything.

Do you have access to a laundry machine at least?

Or do you have to travel to a coin-op place?

Because *that* sucks

I have to walk across the street and use the coin laundry at the other apartment complex

That's not too bad

It's really no worse than the dorms in terms of laundry

I don't even really live in an "apartment complex". I live in a mobile home. Not a trailer, but one of those houses that gets built from a kit and put on a truck. The apartment complex is owned by the same company which is why I'm allowed to use the laundry.

Sounds pretty fun imo. Up in WA, living on your own, doing what you want, L-I-V-I-N

Get a dog and a rifle and you got a nice apocalypse movie going

Ya it's pretty nice

I lived in a dorm last year

I wasn't suffering or anything but it was pretty bad for the money

Get a bike and larp like grocery trips are scavenging missions

It'll make it more fun

Please don't joke about anything illegal here

Yeah PLEDGE

I know it might seem heavy handed but we have to be careful in an organization like this

These refs I tell ya..

NYT trying to meme "Radical Centrists" into reality. 👌🏻

So radical just means "really, really, believes in it" now?
