So I am having some serious money troubles right now. I really don’t want to have to leave university, but that might be one of my only options next term since I have zero money. Especially since no-one will give me a job. And I won’t lie it’s seriously getting me down.
I have handed out dozens of CVs, several job applications and visited my university’s job shop and have heard absolutely nothing back. Now I’m not the world’s most confident person to begin with, so I find it difficult to do the whole job-hunting thing. It’s hard for me to put on the big cheesy grin and act all positive while people are judging me for my lack of job experience. It’s humiliating when people in shops ask me if I have any retail experience and I have to reply that I don’t.
I hate having to turn to my Dad every time I run out of money but the stupid people at Student Finance won’t give me enough money to live on. So from now until January (and probably again after then) I can’t afford to spend a penny on anything other than rent and bills. Not even food, I can’t even afford to eat. How ridiculous is that? On the bright side, I did want to go on a diet I suppose…
With overdraft and a little help from my family I can just about make rent until January, but the problem is the knock on effect. So next term I might be completely skint, hence possibly having to leave university after Christmas. I guess I’ll have to sort something out over Christmas break, and obviously I’ll keep looking for a job, but I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure it out before things get too desperate.
So I am now officially a pauper.
