I rented the shittiest room in a shittiest shared house possible, so I could use some of the living allowance part of my financial aid for buying food. One summer the financial aid was a couple of weeks late, so I basically had to stretch what non-perishable food I had left until the money arrived.
When that check finally materialized in my account, I ran out to Pizza Boli's and ate two big cheese calzones in one sitting. I still love calzones.
