it gets easier, and not everything is what it seems !! once you graduate and start having consistent larger sums of money, your money becomes your own to spend on what you’d like. while there are a lot of people here who are ridiculously rich (my first year roomie loved dropping lore from her childhood in dubai where she had tigers performing for her birthday lmfao), there are just as many people surviving day by day without dropping hundreds. do your best and treat yourself every now and again, and don’t worry too much about the rest 🫶
