Day Three Hundred and Six:  Good friends share their oatmeal,

Being a frugal student I find myself hardly making it out to the grocery store when I may be in dire need, and at this point I am at my very lowest.  I still have apples, eggs, butter, but the thing that I’ve run out of is my oatmeal and when I run out of my oatmeal I am the epitome of grumpy.  Luckily I have a wonderful room mate who took pity on me and shared a bowl.  Here it is, kids:  True friends deal with you at your best and worst, good house mates share their oatmeal when you’re in need.  Snacks between students are the best friendship makers.  What a difference a simple apple or granola bar can make when you’re at your wit’s end during finals week.  My time happens to be at the beginning of show-month and essay-month.  My focus is just elsewhere.

Needless to say share your wealth, people.  If you have something and have the ability to share it, do it.  Something I learned early on in my university career was to never turn down something free, but never forget to return the favour when you yourself are at an advantage.  I’m lucky to live in such a community as Guelph, where we all support eachother so well.

Thanks Bre, for sharing that ¾ cup of oatmeal, you’ve made my day.
