My starter pen is living rent-free in my mini fridge

Broke student here, dorm mini-fridge, protein budget held together by tuna packets and cottage cheese. I finished my first four weeks and there’s one lonely 0.25 pen left from that box.

It’s currently wedged between a sad edamame bag and a yogurt I’m scared of. My brain keeps treating it like either found money or a tiny sword of Damocles.

I don’t want to mess with my current routine or turn this into a DIY science project; I’m mostly curious what actual people did with theirs. Did you hand it back, park it until your clinician said something, or just let it become fridge archaeology?

Also, how do you stop a leftover pen from making every dorm snack decision feel like a committee meeting?
