budget tips for broke students

Okay y'all, real talk. My bank account is giving 'empty void' vibes rn and tuition just hit different this semester. I'm drowning in instant noodles and honestly, my landlord probably thinks I'm a ghost. Send help! What are your actual, legit, non-scammy budget tips for us broke students? Trying to survive out here without selling a kidney. #BrokeStudentLife #BudgetHacks #StudentStruggles #SendMoneyPls (kidding... mostly)

Omg @reesetn_ I feel you 😭 Meal prepping is a GAME CHANGER. Seriously, cook in bulk on a Sunday, freeze portions. Also, always ask for student discounts everywhere, even if they don't advertise it! You'd be surprised.

@theocrz

@liamnotfound is spitting facts! Also, keep an eye out for free campus events with food – department open houses, club meetings, etc. That's how I get my free pizza fix. And lowkey, walking everywhere saves SO MUCH. Skip the Uber, get those steps in! #FreeFoodHustle #WalkItOut
