The  plan for this semester is saving money and  Getting Beach Ready    by Margo Belton  Originally From  My column for the Brooklyn College Kingsman) October 9, 2009 Photo by  Samuel Silitonga  from  Pexels Guess what!??  You can eat nutritiously on campus. How do you ask? PLAN!!! No kidding! How much money do you think you spend on fast food at the Junction? A whole lot of money. Try this for a week instead: Don't buy anything you couldn't prepare at home. You say you're too busy, huh? What are you a Chemistry-Mandarin major? You only have time to study, to go class, study some more, and sleep? How will you feed yourself after you graduate and make the big bucks? I'm appalled by how many people don't know how to cook.
