Not all grad students have a spouse or parents to supplement our underwhelming stipends. I need people to understand how hard it is for students who live off of their stipends. What's the saddest thing that has happened as a result of you being underpaid as a grad student?
For me, it was probably all the nights when I had water for dinner. That's not a joke, although I wish it were. Filling up on water would make the growling stop so my stomach would hurt less.
By the way, many grad students will qualify for food stamps. It depends on how your tuition remission works. I really wish someone had told me I could qualify for food stamps. I assumed I couldn't because the tuition remission would count as income and I wouldn't qualify.
