1. Check your couch cushions for some spare change too. Who knows, you might make enough to get you some fries. Or a burger. Or chocolate. Pick your poison.

2. Text your mom and see if she’s coming out for Mom’s Weekend. You don’t want to be “pleasantly” surprised when she just pops her head in your dorm room when you’re not prepared. Who knows what she’ll find . . .

3. Also, by texting your mom you’ll let her know you’re alive, since you probably haven’t talked to her since spring break. Just let her know you’re alive. And ask her to bring food.

4. Start asking your skinny friends how much RDA they have left. Yes, even you upperclassmen can do this. Abuse your freshmen friends and have them buy you food. It may be crappy dining hall food, but hey, it’s free.

5. It might still be a little while until the end of the semester, but it’s never too early to clean out your kitchen. Clear out all that moldy, stale bread, throw away mushy bananas. Your roommates will thank you.
