I like that idea!

I think of my college years as part of the learning experience of becoming a “real” adult-eating stuff from the $1 menu at Griff’s burger barn or hamburger helper when I could afford ground beef, living off-campus in a bare-bones apartment small as a closet, etc-I also learned quickly to get a job as a cocktail waitress at a supper club-the owner let waitstaff have a meal of less expensive menu items free-and the tips were great, too...

The snowflakes aren’t going to figure any of that out like we did as long as they have their every need met...

I recall when the MTA [Boston] raised their rates a quarter; to me it was the end of the world, b/c my budget was so tight. Eventually we found a bar in Cambridge that sold 10 cent beer [ it was warm - ugh!] and if we walked either to or from campus...we could survive. :)

Everything that survives, adapts. The poor *snowflakes* will crawl into a fetal position and just die.
