First, maybe they should spend less of that student loan money on drugs, alcohol, toys and parties.

Second maybe the schools should have kept their traditional cafeterias where the food wasn't as varied as fast food fair but was nutritious and reasonably priced. Instead they sold out their students and property for profits.

Thirdly, these are supposed to be young adults transitioning to the real world, if they aren't ready or able to take care of themselves they better run home to their real mommy and daddy not expect mommy/daddy government to keep feeding and changing their soiled diapers.

Unreal. The poor little bubbalas can’t even figure out how to get something to feed their munchies?

Funny, yes, but the real world is also interesting:

Seriously, it's a complete (as in you can literally live on it indefinitely) meal replacement. In powdered form it's about $8/day. Everything a body needs, nothing it doesn't.

And yes, that's the real name. They couldn't avoid it.

I often go hungry after I blow my money on beer, cocaine, and hookers.

I lived off of trail mix, apple juice, and whatever I could make from potatoes.

You can make some good food from potatoes.

Sheesh. Get a part time night job (or work a full time 2nd/3rd shift like I and many others did) and use the funds to buy some supplies. Is it that hard to figure out?

If these students are smart enough to go to college (a major and not automatic assumption), surely they can figure out the cafeteria.

If they can navigate student loans, surely they can navigate a grocery store.

Judging from the number of heftoAmericans in various college pics, I don’t think these snowflakes are missing many meals.

For those in states that compel soda can recycling, one meal can be had for the price of a mere 20 empty cans (easily acquired in a student environment). Save the environment while saving money!

When I was in college, you could make everything you needed on a one-burner unit with one pot.

But, that’s their money.
They need everything else, ya know, like help with the rent, lightbill, water bill, etc.,etc.
Oh! Don’t forget cable and WiFi, they gotta have that.

My co-worker was telling me about some survey of Millenials showing only a very small number of them are able to cook or balance a checkbook. Scary.

When they find out their degree is worthless, they will be angry and hungry at the same time.

Imagine them changing a flat tire...or even making a fist.

Handed free food at school from age 5 or so-now they are adults and can’t figure out how to get food for themselves?

Maybe someone would be kind enough to teach them how getting something called a part time job and doing a thing called work will result in a paycheck, which-when cashed-becomes money to buy food to eat. If they can’t manage to do that-well, in the jungle only the strong survive-so they might not...

In my college years, the most coveted jobs for female students were the ones as cocktail waitresses in the places that were both nightclubs and restaurants-they catered to tourists so the tips were fantastic, and you could have the special of the day from the menu free every night or other menu items at 1/2 price. The 6-8 hours running around with trays of drinks in a skimpy, cutesy uniform and uncomfortable shoes was well worth it-it was way better than eating the dorm food du jour-hamburger helper-or if you had an extra dollar, a fish fillet or 4 shrimp and hush puppies from a fast food place called First Mate. Don’t clubs offer jobs like that to students anymore?

The key is to use up the beer and cocaine before you get the hookers.
