Being a student is difficult in many ways. Those who are lucky (or perhaps not so lucky) live with their parents, granting them home-cooked meals, hugs and allowances. Those like me who live independently in a house, very far away from my parents, are lucky in the sense that we have a sense of freedom and autonomy, but it comes at a high cost. I have to make and live off my own unsatisfactory student income, cook my own meals, make my own scary, big decisions, and mum-hugs are literally over 15, 000 kms away. (Thankfully my boyfriend's arms are constantly open for me.) Those who live away from home, but still get home-cooked meals, hugs and money from their parents are in a completely different league and I can tell you now, I am seething with jealousy. Don't you complain for a second!
Anyway, regardless of your living circumstance, we students have a tough time: those damned assignments, lack of sleep and social interaction, high-stress levels, and if you're like most students, --
and here comes the crux of this post -- lack of money, which naturally translates to lack of new clothing and the inability to purchase clothes you love.
Well, here's to those who scroll through e-boutiques and style blogs saying, 'I wish I owned that,' and 'Ah, to be in possession of that [..]'. I myself tend to say, 'How the fruitcake can these people afford these nice, costly clothes?! Damn you.' but I'll keep it tame.
However, being a student also rules, but I feel like being pessimistic so this post will remain biased.
Hope everyone is doing well and to all those who are students, I hope uni isn't being too much of a pain in the buttocks. x
