Getting loans for cost-of-living doesn’t mean you have to spend money eating out at restaurants and drinking in bars.
Any money you spend that has to be paid back will hurt, not just in your wallet, but your physical and mental health. Work on you. Not everyone drinking with you will speak to you tomorrow.
Make friends with people you feel understand you. You will make mistakes, but that experience will help to weed-out pretenders as you grow more confident. If someone wasn’t speaking to you when you are not drinking, it’s likely they will continue not to speak to you on campus sober.
No one is born cooking. You have to teach yourself and encourage your people (friends/family) to get back to financial freedom by cooking what you love to eat. It doesn’t matter how simple. Focus on what you think. Other people’s opinion doesn’t matter. People are actually looking past you in their own thoughts.
Taking two peeled eggs (in a sandwich bag) to class to eat during break will sustain you until dinner. Then, you can put together a salad with your favorite grasses. Let your circle know that you have made a decision to contain student loan debt. You might incidentally spark a movement.`
We are here to support you.
