Genuinely what the hell man. I am on max maintenance loan 10500? Or smth like that and my total yearly rent is sliglty under £8900, I will also be receiving £2000 from my uni as a bursary. So I was like yup that’s good I have a bit over 12k for whole year so once you subtract 8.9k for rent I will have £109 a week. Perfect sounds lovely right…

Tell me why I just find out my first chunk of rent is due on the 24th of September, £3,556.95. And my first chunk of maintenance loan will come around the same time around £3,574.
A third of the bursary will also be payed on October 27th.

So you are telling me I have £17 to my name until October 27th. I genuinely want to cry, I thought university was more accessible than this. Im genuinely thinking of dropping out what the hell. I was also hoping to buy a laptop with some of the loan now I won’t even have a laptop. What do I actually do man and applying for a hardship cash I can only do that with a student email which I get after the 24th of August. I doubt they will give me money straight away.
What do I do. Im so scared.
Edit: my parents do not have the money, and will not have the money.

EDIT 2: now realise I was panicking while writing this 💀. I did apply to countless part-time jobs, most of them rejected me, but some teaching agencies reached out!! However, it depends if I can even work full days at a school alongside my degree (very intense engineering field).
THANK YOU to everyone suggesting overdrafts, yesterday I was about to apply for a student account with £0 overdraft . Rent is expensive because I’ll be studying in a VERY expensive city, and it’s not a private landlord. I also live 4h away from
Uni; can’t commute. I’ve emailed my uni’s Money Advice department.
I do have a job, I started tutoring last week! I was planning to use the money I earn towards a laptop, but I guess I won’t be buying one and will rely on a loaned laptop for a while (my uni only offers them for max 1 month). I won’t be able to tutor without a laptop that’s why I was so set on buying one. Currently using a borrowed one

No really. Is it cosmetic? Psychological comfort? Artistic? A weapon? Horror prop? Focus toy to squeeze and make funny noises? Is it for the funny or the serious?

Seriously. What is it for? Who is it working for? What is its intentions? What does it want? Who does it want? Why does it want? How does it want? What evils lie beneath its eyes and the endless skies it sees in the reflection of an ever evolving oceanic surface…guess I’ll waddle away.

Waddle waddle.
