A senior at Lehman College in the Bronx dreams of starting her day with breakfast. An undergraduate at New York University said he has been so delirious from hunger, he’s caught himself walking down the street not realizing where he’s going. A health sciences student at Stony Brook University on Long Island describes “poverty naps,” where she decides to go to sleep rather than deal with her hunger pangs.
These are all examples of food insecurity, the state of having limited or uncertain access to food. Stories about college hunger have been largely anecdotal, cemented by ramen and macaroni and cheese jokes.

I worked part-time for a MADAM. The madam had a strip club a city or 10 miles away from the university so my classmates would not find me. I worked there as a DISC JOCKEY.
You know the type “OK guys give it up for Bambi, the blonde from Hollywood CA..”. I did that for 2 years. One time, my Advanced Mathematics professor was in the crowd and I pretended not to see him and he found me LOL. But I took his class 2 sems before. Then again, I asked him point blank: “ummm, aren’t you married?” (haha—busted)
As a Business major, I learned more about “real-world accounting” from my boss than my classes in Accounting.
I worked the midnight shift stocking grocery shelves supporting my self and my wife. Went to engineering school during the day. Did my homework at my 4AM lunch hour. These poor snowflakes are breaking my heart
Yes, it can be done! LOL! I thought this was one of the stupidest “faux crises” they’ve ever published.
Do they even make movies like that anymore?
“The world needs ditch diggers, too.”
I remember human ditch diggers. Pick for awhile, then shovel out the dirt, then pick some more. They’d dig ditches as deep as they were tall, maybe deeper. Good exercise!
F*****’ A...
