Noodles are 4 Poor People

When going to talk to the financial aid office at school, always to make sure to mention your Cup-O-Noodle lunch you’re about to enjoy.

Me: Oh hello, I just had a financial aid question before I go to eat my Cup-O-Noodle lunch.

Financial Aid Lady: Okay... how can I help you?

Me: Well, I will make it quick because I don't want my generic chicken Cup-O-Noodle to get cold.

Financial Aid Lady: right...go ahead.

Me: So like I was saying, before I told you about my Cup-O-Noodle for lunch, mind you it’s just chicken, not roasted chicken or spicy shrimp, just chicken. Ya know, the cheap kind you get at Food 4 Less. Did I mention already I shop at Food 4 Less?  I do. It's cheaper. I can't afford those fancy grocery stores where the doors open for you. Anyways, my cheap unhealthy lunch is getting cold, let me get to the point.

Financial Aid Lady: Yes, please do.

Me: I just wanted to check on my financial aid status for the summer semester.

Financial Aid Lady: You don't qualify.

Me: *confused eyebrows* 

Financial Aid Lady: Your grant is only good for the regular semesters.

Me: *lean in closer with extra confused eyebrows*

Financial Aid Lady: *backs up in uncomfortable manor*

Me: Okay, I guess I’ll be on my way to my Cup-O-Noodle lunch.

Financial Aid Lady: Wait, did you say “Cup-O-Noodle”?

Me: Yeah… *hopeful eyes*

Financial Aid Lady: Spicy shrimp?

Me: No, chicken.

Financial Aid Lady: Roasted?

Me: No, just plain old chicken.

Financial Aid Lady: I may be able to help.
