what are we feeding ourselves (aside from fast food)

Hiii I am looking for advice on feeding myself as a grown adult LOL

I have tried the meal prepping thing and tbh sometimes I struggle with even showering and brushing my teeth due to energy and motivation levels being shitty so I can never stick to it, especially when life gets really busy. I do sometimes make large soup batches to keep in the fridge for around a week's worth of dinners, but those usually work best for me when im at home and have access to a microwave (ik there are ones on campus but none in the buildings I go to and im kind of lazy, and i dont want to risk soup going all over my laptop in my bag).

I am good as far as breakfast goes, I try to have it most days and usually it's cereal or oatmeal.

The thing is, often I am too rushed or tired in the morning to make a good lunch for myself at school and some days i don't get too hungry during class but sometimes (like today) my stomach HURTS so bad from hunger and I even brought some fruit, veggies, and hummus for lunch today. Idk what to do i can't seem to win 😭

I am fortunate enough to live at home so when my parents make more hearty meals I get some of that, but when i get home from school fairly late with stuff to do like homework, studying etc. I don't really have motivation to make food (case in point, last night's dinner was cottage cheese, potato chips, chicken, and an apple...)

What are people making for meals (particularly dinner and lunches to bring to school)? Thank you in advance!

90.5% average for Engineering. What are my chances of getting in?

I did not take grade 11 seriously at all, so I ended up having to retake a bunch of courses. As ut stands, here are the grades that I am planning on applying to early admissions with.

Retaken

Math 20-1 95

Physics 20 96

Chemistry 20 92

Did not retake

English 30-1 79

I am planning on applying to U of C and U of A. I havent applied just yet because of applyalberta website issues, but I'd like to know what my chances of getting in are.

Thanks

Are there any positive stories post Bsc degrees ?

Starting to worry as all I see is post after post about graduates not finding any work or have any opportunities and basically wasting their Science degrees. Is this just because other people who did have successful outcomes aren’t posting or is this the main consensus ?

Has this always been here?

I've never noticed this camera before and I'm wondering if it's always been here or if it was newly installed? Seems like an awkward spot for a camera that doesn't blend in at all.

Applying to Nursing as a Mature Student

I graduated high school in 2021. At the time I didn’t study or put much effort in my classes. I graduated with 65 in math 30-2, 61 in English 30-1, 52 in Bio 30 and didn’t take chem 30. I’m am currently upgrading all of these, taking just English 30–1 now and math 30-2, Chem30 and Bio30 next semester. Can I still apply to Nursing for the fall? Is there even a chance? Would they look at my high school grades to determine my average as of now? As a note, I attended high school around the Covid time. I didn’t write any diplomas and on my transcript it reads “full exemption”
