Facing some financial issus in my university
It’s very frustrating and overwhelming as a student to be struggling with money. Books, tuition, and other monthly expenses mount up quickly, leaving me anxious about how to stay within my budget.
Balancing school work and a part-time job is increasing in importance now; it’s just not easy to find the time to pay attention to my studies amidst all these other obligations. At times, I feel that perhaps I shall not be able to complete my degree because of this situation, and it gets worse when financial pressure affects not only my studies but also my mental well-being.
Despite these challenges, I was determined to seek additional help and resources. To share the burden, I started researching grants, scholarships, and programs available for monetary support. Further, I have learned what is necessary for me to spend my money on, and to allocate what little I have into a budget, which has empowered me to take control of my situation.
