First try to check in with your school for any financial or food related resources they can give you, if they can’t help check for local food pantries and similar places, and if you can’t find any ask friends or family for help with either finances or planning, and if that’s not an option then sit down and write out a comprehensive budget and move things around until you can afford to feed yourself properly, because that is a NEED and not a want. Also, see if you can meal prep it can help a lot!

You’re right! There’s so many resources out there for you, I believe in you! Also I’ve never tried this but as for meals, try signing up for restaurant apps to get free meal perks! (Set your bday date to an upcoming date so you can plan out a free meal!)

Thisss, idk if you go to a 4yr college or not, but my tech college has a food and basic necessities truck that comes ~once a month, iirc the first Tuesday, but it’s for instances like this where you might not be able to afford groceries normally, and iirc the staff during orientation mentioned they even supply personal care like deodorant, shampoo, etc
