It's time to go back to res after winter break and students took the opportunity to make sure that their struggles are at least stalled for a month or two - lol.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @palesa_ndamase, her roommate is seen opening a suitcase full of food and no clothes. The content creator was stunned by her roommate, laughing at how she expected the suitcase to have clothes but instead was surprised by the food.

The roommate made some hilarious compromises and used a heavy-duty plastic bag to carry her clothes. The food she brought at res included rice, pilchard, noodles, and mayonnaise, to name a few.
