Food for the Weekend
So I went home this past weekend and I didn't realize the vast difference between the food I eat here as a poor college student doing my own shopping and home where my mom buys all the food. Its a huge difference, not only in the amount of food I eat but what types of food. I go for the cheap stuff here but my parents can afford the high end stuff: basically not top ramen. White vs. Wheat, Beans vs. Meat, PB&J vs. Turkey and Provolone. I got spoiled and now I am back to eating soup and saltines. It seems like going home almost everything had to do with food: meeting up with friends for dinner, road trip snacks, out to eat with the parents, s'mores over the fire, etc. I felt like the activities were revolving around food, which isn't a bad thing at all. We had 6 friends come with me and my sister so our refrigerator was PACKED full of food! My mom took every precaution she could so that we wouldn't go hungry.

So true. So my brother, also a hungry college student, is convinced that if he eats mostly fruits and vegetables he spends less on groceries, and eats less. I don't know if i believe him, but a fruit smoothie every morning sure sounds good.
I don't feel all that deprived here with my dining plus. It seems there are a ton of options so I can't complain. But homemade food beats it all out I must admit. Anything mom makes is better than what can be found in the cougareat...guaranteed.
