starving?...hardly.

i hate the saying ‘starving college student.’ this is quite possibly the most ridiculous statement, supposedly intelligent young people can make. food is hardly scarce on campus and many schools require a meal plan to eat in on campus dining facilities. i doubt that many students [especially at pricey liberal arts colleges] truly know what it feels like to be starving. also, as college students [who will presumable graduate in a few years] we are some of the most privileged human beings on the planet. less than 10% of the world’s population will ever graduate from college [ok, so i made that up, but it’s probably close to that if not lower]. i will admit that large tuition bills can leave small funds for such luxuries as food, but come on you’re hardly starving.
