Subsistence Methods of a Broke College Student

People keep handing me free food.
Yesterday, I didn't have to sit through my final class starving as usual because one of the students brought in a huge bowl of free tamales. They were authentic, home made, filled with chicken, and delicious. There were somewhere around 50 in the bowl so I didn't feel bad about having two.
Later, my friend (after minimal coercion on my part) bought me a thai iced tea.
Later that day I made some breadsticks at my place of business  before starting work, and
because I work in a restaurant dinner last night was free.
This morning when stopping off at the chinese restaurant that I frequent, the owner lady asked me how my day was going, and then proceeded to comp my pork fried rice.
On the way back from class today, I bumped into another friend who all but stuffed a piece of homemade cake into my hands. It was tasty.
People keep handing me free food. And I like it.

My friend Francisco offered me a Tamale at work today, but I declined since I dont like them to much.
Then we danced around singing "we are making de churro's making de churro's" when asked to make more churros

You're going to make fun of me for this, but I would love to have your life if it's like this every day.
