Trading stocks only radicalized me more. Lunch at a fast food spot is now over $15. Meanwhile it's possible to make a "trade" that nets more profit than a Popeyes employee earns in a day of work.

This can't last... or can it?

2 for $4 if you order in the app (aka sell more of your data for a discount)

That's pretty good but I can't eat McDonald's anymore anyway since im-vegan and even their fries are made with bone tallow. Also I try to keep my data harvesting to a minimum after getting rid of Facebook, Twitter, etc.

To be honest, it's not even worth it or nourishing food at all. But I don't know what I would do for food if I was on my college budget these days

Protein bars are super portable. I wish meal bars from those meal replacement shake companies like Soylent and Huel didn't suck and weren't so expensive. Otherwise, I lived like 2 blocks aware from school so something like steams rice and veggies and a cheap protein wouldn't have been too far out of the question.
