    I applied for food stamps when i was in college. I was financially independent (kicked out at 17), was working two part jobs to make ends meet, and met the requirements. When my dad found out about the food stamps he lost his mind and tried to sell me on this whole “ask family” bullshit when he was the one that cut me off and always had strings attached to his help. So yeah i took the food stamps. It sure hurt his pride that someone in our family would be on food stamps. But fuck pride, i needed to eat.
