Comment It's part of your education. (Score 1) 390
Learning to make do and do well enough on damned little is part of what you're supposed to learn in life. If you didn't learn it before, you'll learn it in college. Being thrifty all around, reusing and repurposing, cooking your own meals because it costs a fraction of what it does to eat out. These are valuable life lessons that will serve you in good stead when things don't go entirely swimmingly later on.
