In school money is not always enough, because on daily basis there are always a lot of things to do, bills to pay and things to photocopy. You may have some cash today , but how it manage to finish is what you can't really explain.
Normally there are different means and ways that we can use to survive as students. One of it is having some skills , that skill alone can save your life in school and give you some cash even when you didn't expect. Before I left for school I use to play musical instruments at events for people and get paid. At times I will go with my friends, we coordinate ourselves and work as a band team and deliver get paid and we share the money amongst ourselves. And that alone use to give me some cash because to me it was like a side hustle.
I kept doing that as part of my survival strategy till my year 2 and I realized that it was taking much of my time. So I had to stop it. But at a point it was somehow difficult, but as a Nigerian I sailed through.
I remember one exams day that I came back home lay on the floor and I was carefully looking at my ceiling because I was seriously hungry. What really happened, I had some money on me when I left the house in the morning, but while in school something happened that I had to empty my account and use the little money I had there including my savings to sort out the issue. Then I went back home confused.
But I still had to restrategize means of surviving but cutting my coat according to my clothes and do away with some unnecessary expenses.
