The situation
I am a 20 year old college student and I'm short on cash (aren't we all) but I have decided to save some cash this semester by not living on campus. Living on campus for one semester is 4000 dollars now that does include a meal plan as well. Now the school I am at won't let you live off campus unless you are 21 years old or if you live with your parents. Now this is my 4th semester in college and I lived at home for my first 3 semesters of college so I have been itching to get out of my house. Now I don't have a bad home life or anything I just want to get out. Therefore if I'm not gonna live at home and I can't live on campus because of the money I am left with little choice if any choice. So I have built a 1 1/2 foot platform in my SUV and I put an airmatress on it. In other words I am homeless. I have a rechargeable Lantern and something to heat water with in my car. I figured I could just pretty much camp out of my car for a whole semester. I can shower in the locker room of our workout gym and I can spend most of my time at the school. I can charge my phone and laptop in the library and do all my studying in the library as well. Now I am not on the meal plan so if I eat the right way then I will save a ton of money this semester. The hard part is I don't have a fridge so its hard to find food you can keep at any temperature. So pretty much I have pop tarts, chips, and ramen noodles. I have a case of water bottles and I will be refilling them at the school. So to wrap this all up I'm a 20 year old homeless guy by choice and its going to be an interesting semester.
