budget my paycheck with me as an unemployed

it sucks to still be unemployed but since I school is starting soon I should start work soon but I have not been able I see my schedule for when I will be working since I haven’t met my supervisor and work group yet, but once it starts I will finally have income to pay off my rent and food! so im excited for that but at the same time I will be even more busy which might cause my grades to tank which I am not sure if it will be worth it since I value my grades a lot 😔 hopefully I will be able to adapt and do well. #lemon8partner #biweeklybudget

The school probably helps pay like fasfa, my school payed for my classes and books and whatever remainder I had left I got to keep so it helped with some bills and more school supplies I needed. (I could be wrong for her situation but oh well if she didn’t say how don’t ask it’s her business)
