DO NOT go to the library if you want to do work!

I know this sounds a bit odd but every uni student knows this is the truth. The library is where everyone goes to sit around and kid themselves that they are doing work because they have a textbook open or are discussing "ideas" with their peers. Trust me it's a trap. Even if you go to the library with the intent to study people will come and distract you from this goal very quickly. This is the place where you will see everyone and when people come of to just say hi, it always seems to last hours.

If you haven't got serious, i need to fully concentrate work to do, then by all means go to the library- i've had my fair share of fun times in there and if you're just doing your research for your coursework you can try ask some of your peers for ideas. In general in the daytime the library is a no go area because it's too packed, i usually went to the library in the nightime as it was more quiet






I've even heard of some people who would use the library as a hang out especially the 2nd years because they tend not to live on campus and so stay there in between classes. Some even get drunk in the library.




You don't need to buy textbooks

But to say I'm the loudest one in the room or the personality you first recognise would be untruthful as well. I'm not afraid to admit that I HATE small talk and I'd actually rather just be there in silence than make conversation that neither of us actually care about. So if when I see you I don't ask you if you're alright it's not because I'm rude or I don't care, it's mostly because I don't particularly like small talk so I'm not going to be the one to initiate it.

Budgeting for teens

One of the most important tools in having good cash flow is the ability to make and maintain a budget. However a lot of people don't even know where to start or don't have the right mindset to keep it up. Lucky for you I'm going to break down how to create a budget today. 1. Work out your expenses- This may take awhile to do if you are the kind of person who makes a lot of impulse purchases or who has a varying amount of money coming in each money. However for the rest of us this should be simple enough to do. As a teenager most of your money will be spent on going out so a handy tip is to keep the receipts from when you go places or buy things. This can help you to then add up how much you've spent this month and also help to find out how much you spend each month on average. Once you have this number you can really start to put your budget together. 2. Work out your income- Income for those of you who don't know is the amount of money you have coming in eac...
