College rant 🫩

Hi so I am 19 F and starting my 2nd year of college. I swear it is so stressful, especially when you’re already worried about money. Like how am I supposed to focus on school when I’m also thinking about tuition, books, gas, food, and literally everything else?? 😭 Everything is so expensive and it feels like I’m constantly spending money just to keep up. I’m trying to go to college and build a good future for myself, but sometimes it’s hard when financial stress is always in the back of my mind. And then people are like “just focus on school” like okay… but who’s gonna pay for everything?? I just wish college didn’t feel like you have to struggle sm just to get a degree. Like when am I supposed to breathe? And I hate having to think twice before buying something because I’m like “wait, do I actually need this?” Even little expenses add up so fast. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed because I know I have goals and things I want for myself, but right now it feels like I’m constantly trying to figure out how I’m gonna afford the next thing. It’s just really hard trying to do all of this by myself. And I just sucks seeing people around me be able to live their lives stress free and as college students and are able to go to Pilates and travel because their parents take care of everything while I’m here stressing over being able to find the calculator I need for cheap or being able to get the books I need since fafsa and working can only do so much when there’s so many other things that need to be paid. SPEAKING OF FAFSA I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN IT YET AND CLASSES STARTED ON MONDAY. And I hate to sound annoying because I know there are bigger problems in the world but I just really frustrated with life sometimes. So if anyone knows any tips on making more money or saving money pls put me on Ty 🙏🏽.
