She wants to go home, but nobody's home
That's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes, broken inside

Re: Having a parent who hoards
There was stuff in the way downstairs that happened to be mine - there was nowhere to put it because of my mum’s stuff.
Anyway, my sister said, “It’s nobody’s fault but yours, [Toe].”

Re: Life skills for uni
I didn't go to uni but I did live a very student-y life for a while! I agree on the cheap, nutritious meals point. I'd recommend having a couple of really simple, easy recipes that fill you up.
My go-to 'my brain is melting give me easy food' recipe is this:
INGREDIENTS
RECIPE
I love this because it's so easy on the brain, it's only three ingredients, and you use all of them. It also feeds you for like 5 meals or something if you portion it well.
And if you do have a bit more time or energy, you can spruce it up with some grated cheese on the top, fresh tomatoes or salad, olives or jalapenos if you're that way inclined.
If not, it's a top tier thing to just shovel into your face.
You didn't ask for a recipe but I thought I'd share it because it's saved me so many times!
My go-to 'my brain is melting give me easy food' recipe is this:
INGREDIENTS
- 1 x 500g bag of wholewheat pasta (more filling than white pasta)
- 1 x block of feta
- 1 x jar of basil pesto (not light/low fat - you need it for the mix)
RECIPE
- Cook the entire bag of pasta in a large pan and put a few spoons of the pasta water in a cup.
- Drain the pasta in a colander, and mix the whole jar of pesto with the pasta water (you can do this in the saucepan you just used to cook the pasta). The starch from the pasta water will emulsify the pesto into a sauce - this is a great tip for ANY pasta dish.
- Add the pasta back to the pan, mix together, add salt until it tastes good.
- Dice the whole block of feta and mix it through the pasta.
- Mix some olive oil through it so it doesn't dry out (you can be generous - olive oil is tasty).
- Keep in the fridge for up to a week.
