I posted this about half an hour ago, but I was hoping for more answers, so here we go.
I'm a flat broke college kid. I make just enough to pay my rent and my utilities and buy gas to get to work. There is never much left over for food, and its getting pretty bad. I'm not in any real danger of starving, but I'll be blunt- if it isn't pasta, its stolen. I've eaten out of dumpsters before, but I don't like doing that. My parents don't have anything left to give me, and my friends have helped as much as they can. I know I have the option of applying for welfare and food stamps, but I don't want to do it. I don't want to be 'that girl' at the grocery store who whips out the food stamps. I don't want to be stared at, and I don't want to be pitied. My pride is fighting me on this. My question is- when is it time to swallow my pride? Should I stick to my guns and make things work, or should I give in and the the government help me? What would you do?
