Skint

I have no money, it's official. I have been a student for six months
or so and already I'm in debt. I hate that phrase "In Debt" It makes me
feel all worthless, like I ought to be doing something or other to get
myself out of the situation. It's hard though, I feel like a slug
caught in a beer trap, ok maybe the metaphor is a little strange, but
isn't that what students are meant to do? Get drunk and blow their loan
money on drink. It's valid though, think of it, like the slug I don't
see the pitfall and then all of a sudden am submurged in money worries
and debt. I try to get out, but each time I slip back in even further
than the last time.
This is only the beginning of my three years. Unlike the slug I won't
curl up and die in alcoholic fumes, instead I will end up owing more
money than I can earn in my weekend job. Why do I do it?
