What are easy and cheap things to cook?

So I absolutely despise cooking, have 0 knowledge or ability on it and don’t have the time to make things that take long to cook. But I am very fed up of eating just pasta, bread or frozen things - I ensure I have a “varied diet” in terms of I keep track I eat carbs, dairy, meat/other protein, veggies and fruit etc but these are mostly frozen things and honestly I am fed up of it. I’m quite fussy too, I don’t overly like many vegetables or sauces and I only really eat chicken out of meats (with some exceptions). I don’t know what else I can ‘make’ so I feel better. I also don’t have money to make anything fancy. Any suggestions so I stop being depressed at every meal time?

you could try hello fresh all the meals are had the ingredients all ready measured out so there isn't so much prep time (or so I've herd I haven't used them myself). and they only take about 30mins to cook they even have a what they call quick cook range could be worth a look.

If you don't have much money, don't have much kitchen equipment, have zero interest in cooking, resent the time it would take to learn to cook and actually practice cooking (not to mention all the cleaning up after), then there is really very little point suggesting a load of recipes you could try. As you've already said, you don't think that your student recipe books are very useful and if you don't find those any good, then there's no point suggesting you get a 'full' cookbook which would require a load of pantry ingredients that you don't have, aren't interested in sourcing and probably won't use.

Pasta with pesto is quite nice... You can always chuck a bit of chicken in it. Cheap ready meals? Fish fingers?

That’s what I mean I’m fed up of things like that. I miss home cooked meals but I don’t know how to make them myself, I’m not asking for cookbooks I’m asking for personal recipes from other students.
