For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they’re much easier to grab.

    When I was in college I had zero knowledge of how to cook so I relied on what my mom packed me and takeaways.

    I decided to learn how to make basic stuff, like pasta, eggs, baked potatoes, etc and it saved me tons of money.

    I’m not a good cook by a long shot but I can feed myself and to this day I enjoy some quality time in the kitchen.

        Pretty great 2nd date in my experience, not a great idea for an initial date unless you know the person ahead of time. But can pretty quickly reveal if they can cook too!

      Try and find a cheap deal for a meal service like hellofresh or blue apron or any other service. I didn’t want to, but my spouse did. I’ve learned some good techniques and used ingredients I would not normally use. Don’t sign up long term, just get a box or two or whatever and cancel. Once you’ve learned your lesson you can extrapolate that.
