Chances I get on-campus housing as a 3rd year transfer late applicant (May 31st)

Title basically.

I'm stressing hardcore over where I'm gonna stay this fall. Assignment notification isn't until late June... wtf?

Hoping I get a spot in transfer village, but there's a good chance I don't get any on campus housing.

Budget is probably around $650 if that's important.

My first "omelete."

Soooo close to not breaking it. Think I needed more egg, and to flip it later. Idk. It's tasty!

4 eggs, chopped ham, onions, sweet peppers, american cheese, pinch of salt and pepper, 2 tbsp butter.

How to stay mentally intact while playing from behind / playing on the losing side?

Okay, listen. I really love this game, because of the strategy and skill expression. But I HATE losing. Being miserable 50% of the time playing a game really isn't enjoyable, but I'm aware this can be changed with a different mindset / perspective. It's so easy for me to fall into this pit of despair. Obviously there's possibilities to win every game, but I'll very quickly write off games as lost, and start to feel hopeless if our team starts falling behind in levels and gold. That's not to say I give up, but I would be lying if I said these feelings didn't affect my gameplay and decision making. I fall into the category of "gifted kid in school who never faced challenges until they hit the real world and then found themselves incapable of coping," which probably plays into my relationship with the game. Things have to go perfectly according to my plan, and any kind of challenge or struggle sends me spiraling.

So um how can I be ok with playing out a game where our team is currently losing or just accepting a loss after the fact?

Looking for practical, actionable, and philosophical advice, I guess.

What do monthly budgets of my fellow single people living alone look like?

I plan on living alone and wanted to get a good idea of what it costs a month. I'd love to hear from a wide range of financial situations. How much do you work? What do you pay for rent? etc.

Grants are completely paying for my tuition, so yearly cost of attending NC State for me would be about $20k according to mypack portal.

I made my own budget of monthly expenses, which came out to be $1900, so $20k a year doesn't seem too unrealistic.

Let me know! I've never lived on my own before so I'd love to get some insight.

Living on my own for the first time as a college student, need people to check my budget.

I'm 26, I suck with money (runs in the family lol, no one taught me anything), and I'll be moving to Raleigh to attend NC State this August.

I'm honestly not sure how much to spend on housing or even what kind of jobs I'll be able to get.

When I move, I'll have an associates in science and have about 4 years of delivery driver experience (Amazon). The delivery job pays $21.75 right now. I really want to switch careers, but the pay is better than anything in Asheville I could get degreeless and it's the same in Raleigh.

Anyways, here's my plan. I want to work part time, 3 days max, while attending school. Grants will pay for tuition each semester, with about $1000 left over totaling $2000. I've also been offered $10,500 in student loans for the 26/27 school year, about half is unsubsidized. Assuming I get a job in a different field with a pay rate of $17/hr, 3 8-hour shifts a week, I'll be making $1632 monthly pre-taxes. This brings my potential yearly income to about $32,000, quite a bit below comfortable, but still livable I think. According to the rule stating I should spend no more than 30% of income on housing, that leaves me with a max rent of $800.

Frankly, I don't think that's reasonable for a big city like Raleigh at all, especially if I desire to live by myself. I've alotted $1200 for housing in my budget

Now to the budget. Here's a screenshot.

I have no car loan or other debts, and I have included theoretical utilities in my budget. This budget also assumes I save nothing month to month. please look over the budget and my math. Let me know if there's any expenses I missed.

Any and all advice is welcome, thank you a lot.
