something no one tells you about making food from scratch is that you will become addicted to the version made from scratch, not be able to buy it anywhere else for cheap, and so then you HAVE TO make it from scratch eternally

You need to be hosting way too many people for the size of your apartment. You need to be packing people in like sardines. You need to be contributing to the increase of the national fertility rate by making sure people are close enough to eachother for the pheromones to reach.
