Listed here are 20 ways that university students waste their money! I’m far from innocent when it comes to wasting money as a student! Significant amounts of money can be saved by by not doing these things! Some of them are obviously a key part of student life!
- Throwing away loose change and losing cash in their room or mysteriously on nights out.
- Buying take-away food they don’t need after a night out! All those pizzas, kebabs and chips build up.
- Buying drinks you just know are going to taste bad.
- Joining clubs you have no intention of going to.
- Forgetting your student ID and having to pay the normal price for something!
- Not going to lectures, you paid for it after all! (Had to put that one in)
- Buying snacks and sandwiches on campus that would have been a lot cheaper to make at home.
- In catered halls not going to meals that are paid for, in particular breakfast.
- Trashing halls or houses on drunken nights, setting off fire alarms and generally draining your deposit.
- Buying clothing and electronics that are not really needed.
- Having a TV license for a TV that is barely watched.
- Buying a laptop when is only kept it in the house (think of the insurance increase)
- Not thinking about what they are going to buy in a supermarket before going.
- Losing their phone/wallet on a night out.
- Leaving their room unlocked so anyone can walk in and take stuff!
- Throwing up and ruining clothes, incorrect usages of the washing machine and dryer resulting in shrinkage.
- Failing to wash up before food becomes physically unmovable from kitchen equipment or leaving it in water so long it rusts.
- Smashing cups and plates when trying to make a drunken midnight snack.
- Dropping food and drink all over your carpet and bed while eating your drunken midnight snack.
- Throwing up on your bed after the drunken midnight snack.
There are probably hundreds more, but I’ve not the time to sit and list them!
