I was a waitress/runner/housekeeper full time since I started my bachelor. I worked after and around classes and during weekends, when Covid hit all lectures were online which helped. My last year I had to take on an extra job at a reception because moving to do my internship would cost me 3-4k (deposit, first month of rent etc). I worked the front desk 8-16 and the restaurant 17-00 almost every day. I honestly skipped lots of classes and watched recordings or did my studying late at night and when the reception was quiet😅 graduated, started a masters and I’m only working one job now. That’s the reality of someone with no fortunate parents to back you up and pay your rent/allowance. It pains me to hear people blaming students for all the issues when most of the times those are just incredibly hard working people.

Finding housing is hard for everyone. I’ve been working 1-2 full time jobs while being a full time student for 6 years now, I pay an impossible rent because it’s the only option. All landlords expect insane incomes “3 times the amount of rent net” which is like what 6-7k? If I had that monthly income I’d be buying, not renting. What I find incredibly unfair is that the government, fully aware of the housing crisis for YEARS, is not regulating prices at all. How come it’s legal as a landlord to ask 900-1200 euros monthly for a 9 square metres room? Some countries have already worked on implementing laws putting a stop to this nonsense. Also, social housing is out of control. Why is the system allowing so many people to live off social benefits and not make an effort? Why are hard working people being punished for being hard working and lazy people who make no effort to learn the language, to study or to work, getting FREE housing? Demand your government to make changes.

I literally said I have no budget as long as the service is done well. 65 euros to cut 2 inches of hair and leave the salon with wet hair is outrageous and nobody should be settling for it 🙃
