Student probs

So being a student I feel like I should be saving my money. This however never goes well for me. I always seem to be spending money. Just unnecessary amounts. I will go food shopping with my flatmate and always without fail I will buy more and spend more than her. Going round the shop I just pick everything off the shelves that I feel like eating in that moment. Probably not the best thing to base your weekly food shop on. Doesn't help that we always seem to go when I am hungry and so my brain isn't being too logical...

I also seem to have a lack of self control when it comes to clothes shopping. I mean when I enter Topshop I have good intentions of 'just having a look' but end up coming out with a bag full and a dent in the bank. The thing is I try to feel guilty but can't quite manage it, why should I anyway?

Being a student has ruined me I feel. I used to be a real saver before heading off to uni. Now I don't think that much when it comes to parting with my money. Probably because living in the countryside at home there were no clothes shops and shopping on the internet was a pain. Therefore coming to uni was like entering a new world, one with everything you could want at your fingertips. I blame my parents for not taking me to roam the shops more often as now I am a shopping monster.

To conclude never think that when you go to uni you are going to be oh so careful with your money. It never happens. You get there and almost instantly forget the carefully thought out financial plans. Students never have money to spend yet they spend it anyway.

We like to have a lot of fun. All the time.
