Residence Theory

What!?! A meal plan in university residence can cost ~$800? That's insane! There's an easy way around that though.

See, if you eat nothing but ramen noodles, which are $0.33 per package on average, and you eat three "square" meals a day ("square," like the square-shaped packages of instant noodles LOL I'm terrible), then you'd only be spending a dollar a day! A school year is just about 8 months so that's only $240 per year.

$240...? Ouch. That's still pretty expensive! Well... Instant noodles are really bad for you; you should eat some vegetables! Okay, new plan.

So if you eat instant noodles for lunch and dinner (i.e. twice a day) and you eat a "healthy" salad for breakfast daily, consisting of grass and dandelions and crabgrass (the next best thing to lemongrass!), then you'd cut your food cost down to $160 a year! Yay!

Huzzah for economics! :D
