Being a human means that we need at least three main things to survive in our life. The
three main things are House to stay, Clothes to wear and Food to eat. At this point I will explained
more about food that we consumed everyday. In the past, our parents will fulfill their daily need
of food by planting in the rice field, growing some fruits and vegetables, looking for animals in
the forest or breeding the animals in the farms. So they can produce their own ingredients and cook
them at home. But, as the time passed by, in this modern era people are getting less time to cook
and prepare food at home because mostly of their time, they will choose to use it for working in
the office so they can gain more money. Thus to fulfill their daily needs for food, these modern
people are often choose to eat at food stand or restaurants, because buying and eating food from
restaurant or food stands is more efficient. But , there are still some people that choose to prepare
and cook their meal at home because they can make sure the meals that they eat are hygiene,
healthy and yummy.

From my point of view as a college student who live far from my own family , I would
rather to buy the food from PKN STAN canteen, order food from restaurant or buy the food from
the food stall with cheap food (warteg) near my boarding house. Because for me, buying the
ingredients to cook are more expensive than buy the food that already been cooked. Specially when
your boarding house doesn’t have a kitchen and a refrigerator to keep those ingredients. And also
the place to buy the ingredients that I need for cooking is quite far. The cheap and complete
ingredients are available at harmony store that is 1 km away from my boarding house. So if I want
to buy the ingredients I need to walk the total of 2 km from my boarding house, to harmony and
back to my boarding house again. If we compared to buy and eat food from the food stall (warteg)
it is easier and less of time consumed. From the price, I also think it is cheaper because we can get
a big portion of rice with Rp. 3000, all kind of vegetable that cost Rp. 2000 for each and fried
chicken just cost Rp.5000. The portion that is given by the seller is so generous that I can keep the
food to eat later in the afternoon. The variation of food in the food stall are quite many so we can
change our menu everyday without getting bored by the food. The other benefits that you will get
if you buy the food from the same food stall everyday you can bonus or extra food from the seller.
So you can eat more without spend more money.

When we sometimes lazy to go out and buy the food from the food stall we can order food
from the application grab food or go food. With these application sometimes the are promotion or
discount so we can buy the food with a cheaper price.

When we eat or buy food from the food stall or restaurant we don’t have to wash the dishes
or buying LPG and cooking oil. And it will save your time and money evenmore.

Being a college student in PKN STAN is quite busy because we should finish the tasks that
are given by the lectures. And you will become more busy if you join organization or become the
committee of an event. So the option to buy and eat food from the food stall or restaurant is better
than to prepare food at home.
