Lol most of the time I leave it in the bathroom but I know for sure that roommate (the dirty one) steals it sometimes. I’ll put it back in my bedroom if I know I’ll be gone from home in a while. Yesterday, I noticed that a wad of tp was missing so I removed my roll before I left for school and when I came back, my roommate finally put their own inside.

Honestly not sure if I understand your joke. “Don’t uber eats avocado toast every day” sounds like a jab at young adults with a silver spoon in their mouths, but “..as long as you share a living space with strangers” sounds like a typical millennial criticism of the cost of living in NYC.

I make a lot of sandwiches because they’re easy. For extra protein I’ll put cheese, chicken or tuna meat, and a fried egg. I’ll have instant noodles with an egg and veggies once in a while, no more than once a week.
When I crave fries, I’ll cut up potatoes and boil them for 4 min. Then I keep them in a container in the fridge for easy pan-frying with butter.
Pastas and soups with meat/veggies are also quick and easy.
I also eat a lot of yogurt and fruits.
Once in a blue moon, a free food event at school will have a lot of leftovers are at risk of ending up straight in the trash. I keep a plastic container in my bag juuuuust in case.

It’s fine. I have a mini fridge in my bedroom to save the trouble of sharing a fridge. 1 bathroom is shared between me and 2 other roommates. The other is shared by the landlord and his mother, but they lend it to us when the other is occupied. I don’t rly talk to my roommates, tbh. We keep to ourselves. One of them is rly dirty with maintaining the bathroom so I don’t keep my toiletries aside from toothpaste, soap, and cheap shampoo in the bathroom. Otherwise, I rly enjoy it when my bedroom door is closed and I do whatever I want.
Edit: the only people who use the kitchen are the landlord, his mother, and myself. One of the roommates is a restaurant worker and presumably gets all food needed at either work or at their partner’s place (this roommate goes out a lot). The other roommate (the dirty one) orders Uber eats all the time. How they can afford it, beats me. I’m not complaining, though. 3 people sharing a kitchen is reasonable.

Nah don’t feel bad for me. I agreed to do this knowing I’d be on a low income. Everyone has a choice. I’m rly happy that you made it to $72k without a bachelors!
