Hello {!firstname_fix}, Magpie Izzy here! Back with another brand spanking new boxset newsletter. This week I'm focusing on a topic close to my heart - being a student. I graduated from
university just three years ago, and although it gave me some of the best times of my life, it certainly was a whirlwind - especially writing my dissertation during a lockdown at the peak of the pandemic. My time as a student was amazing, unforgettable and life changing - but one thing that sticks out to me is the worry of finance. Having just enough money to scrape by, living on instant noodles and tracking the spend of every penny
was tough. So, today I'm bringing students everything they need to get by at university. From making money in your spare time to getting your hands on cheap food, I hope this brings you (or someone you know) some great tips. Wishing you all the best for your journey as a student and far beyond. Speak
soon, Izzy x |
