money issues and priorities

We are breaking for Easter tomorrow, so no uni for two weeks. Yeay!

I’ m so exhausted, I have spent the entire week researching for my essays and trying to get bits of work done.

This break means I can work more hours. Money is my main worry. I don’t receive any government grants from my country. My tuition fees and rent are paid for by my family and fiancé but I have to pay my for transport and other bills. I work two or three times a week from 7am until 9pm or 2pm until 9pm and sometimes 7am until 2pm just to help make ends meet. And somehow I have to make time to study and make sure I pass my degree. When you are charged more than £8,000 in tuition fee alone, failure is just not an option

I know I can save money on clothes by avoiding high street shops and head to places like Finsbury Park or even charity shops or Saturday and Sunday markets for cheap good stuff. But I am scared of buying clothes from charity shops in case I buy clothes that belonged to a dead person and they might just come back from the dead and ask me they clothes but that’s just me being superstitious. Finsbury Park is just too far me so I settle for the high street even though my pocket is too low.

All these things can make student life seem a total nightmare.
