Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

Today, after it appeared my daughter was throwing away any vegetables in her school lunch, I packed her all vegetables so she would have to eat at least one. Nope! She threw them out and complained to school that "mommy doesn't feed" her. I got a call from the school. FML

Today, I’m so hungry. My parents only get food for my sister and I’ve been surviving on cheese sticks for the past week. I only have one left. I don’t get paid until next week. I’m so scared I’m gonna faint at the wheel instead of at home, where I’m usually able to sit down and get some water before I do. FML
Broke as hell
Hangry
Today, after being robbed last week, I had no money to go to the store for food. Instead, my dinner consisted of two Tums chewables in tropical fruit flavors. After not eating all day, I thought they actually tasted pretty good. FML

Just wait until you can't afford anything but ketchup soup made from the stolen packets snatched at fast food joints. :P In all seriousness, college poorness sucks. And once you're in the real world, well, it doesn't get much better these days. But hey, at least you'll have a nice diploma and few ounces of knowledge to share. Good luck!

apple sauce is nice - at least the stuff we have in the uk is... or i'm just weird. either way, it could be worse OP, it could be ketchup.

so many people spend money they don't have, though, I think it's commendable that however unfortunate, you live within your means as to not put yourself into debt.

That sounds familiar! It will get better eventually. Really.

I know how you feel for months I'd get happy seeing a penny on the ground to collect a new dinner. College life is hard. >.

I have less to eat than that once I feed my daughter. And I graduated college 6 years ago. I feel your pain.
