Before i started school, i was working and was living with my parents, i actually saved up alot of money thinking it will be enough. "After all that if the money finish, I'll call home" i always thought to myself.
Not until mid-semseter after matriculation i got seriously broke, to extent i started buying foods on credits.
I Will put to my parents but they will make promises to send three days later, it got to an extent i didn't see money to take transport to school.
I managed to gathered Small money from my friends and travel home before i kpai(die)😂. It's funny to me now because it's no longer as difficult as it was used to be.
Because, i think as a fresher, you have no experience, no idea, of how school run, you might take it the way people narrate it to you but there's more, more than expected, unexpected bills, school levies, unending bills.

My second semester during nd1 was quite tough until it was close to exams,
So, for me i think school is actually about having it all planned out or written down or even budgeted because there are always unending bills here and there.
I got broke to an extent that i was writing notes for my coursemate, i try to queue into any online business that until i found hive and since it has helped in one way or the other.

Some students had the mindset of "since my elder sister had told all i need to know about school, at least i will budget for all the bills"But the school system changes and will never be same.
The kind of money I spent during my 100lvl may be different from this current 100lvl.
So, school life is usually tough after 100lvl especially when start giving out projects, practicals, assignments which uncommon in the 100lvl
