There is a growing concern
regarding students at
RMIT not getting enough
nutrition to maintain a
balance diet.
They are skipping meals
and buying cheap, greasy
food at the expenses of
choosing a healthier
option.
And this can lead to
negative impact on their

wellbeing.

necessarily true.

I am 19 this year and I am living away from home,
and YES to my newfound freedom!! There are
certainly some pluses and minuses to this like how
badly I MISS EATING MY MOM’S HOME COOKED
FOOD. Every now and then I get nagged on for not
having a proper meal, but
even know what to buy!
Living alone and having a tight budget really limits
on how much I can spend on my grocery and
shopping. Once, I went grocery shopping, not only
did waste 2 hours trying to figure out what to buy, I
ended up buying junk food. So I usually go the easy
way out – fast food! It’s fast, it’s convenient and
although I know it’s not the healthiest and cheapest
option out there, it beats skipping meal totally.

It is not difficult to shop,
plan and cook my own
healthy and nutritious
meal even when I am on
a tight budget.
