Ok so, it’s Week 3 in the semester. Week 1 was Freshers and we went hard. Probably too hard but is it really a Freshers if you haven’t spent at least £150.00 of your student loan on ridiculously priced pitchers that contain 0 amounts of alcohol and an extortionate amount of ice?
I digress.
Week 2 was all about the brunches. Everyone was wanting to meet up and we all know that beautiful looking food makes for a strong Instagram story. So, we caved and, we brunched. Hard.
Week 3 is here and it’s looking G-R-I-M. A tenner in the Fygo Wallet from two weeks of indulgent fo-cialising. Socializing with food. Yes, you heard it here first.
Fo-cialising.
15 quid to last us until payday so, “how?” I hear you ask, “How on earth do I live off £15 in 5 days and not get scurvy?”
