In the third year of college, I found out that there are still "middlemen" in living expensesSure enough, it is "difficult to prevent house thieves".
Stepping into the university, the students realized that without the supervision of teachers and the pressure from parents, life became extremely enjoyable, and these four years were the best years of their lives.
However, during this time, students found a tangled problem - the arrangement of living expenses. The issue of living expenses has become the top priority of communication between students and parents, and sometimes there are some "ridiculous" stories, such as students who have just entered college and find that there are middlemen in the "living expenses" they receive.
In high school, the living expenses were given by parents on a daily basis, and sometimes students were given a few dollars for lunch. But when I arrived at university, because I was far away from home, my parents could only give money on a monthly basis, and my pocket money became a monthly payment.
Although the monthly payment reduces the frequency of communication between parents and students, due to the weak ability of students to control money, they are prone to squandering outside and spending money outside, and they are short of money at the end of the month. Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to "bend the waist for five buckets of rice" to parents.
Some students are overspending in college, while others are even worse. One student originally received 1,000 yuan a month from his parents. In the sophomore year, the living expenses were still 1,000 yuan, and in the third year, the student finally couldn't help but ask his mother to increase his pocket money. Unexpectedly, his mother told him that since his sophomore year, his father has raised his living expenses to 2,500 yuan. This made the students miserable, and for so long to maintain their lives, they have only had 1,000 yuan.
One student wanted to increase his living expenses, so he chose to "pat the dad" to introduce the theme. However, it seems that the student has found the wrong person, but his father tells him to go directly to his mother.
However, that day, just in time for my father to play mahjong, when he hit "out of 10,000", he said to the student, "Go to your mother to ask for it", but the student misunderstood that his father thought that his father asked him to find his mother for 10,000.
Can my mother give 10,000?The excitement of the students was evident, but then the disappointment was felt when they heard their father's next words.
Today's parents are no longer conservative, they try to communicate with students by understanding new words on the Internet, and close the parent-child relationship, so that the parent-child relationship is no longer awkward, which is a good thing for students. Students also need to understand their parents more.
During the university period, students need to devote more energy and time to studying, properly manage their living expenses, avoid waste, and make good use of the four years of university time for future development.
Many students may not be good at arranging living expenses when they first start college, and sometimes they spend all their money before the end of the month, but they are too embarrassed to open up to their parents. At this point, students can work for change by striving for scholarships. The school has a scholarship during college, and as long as the student has excellent grades and strong ability, he or she has the opportunity to receive a scholarship.
In addition, students can also look for part-time jobs related to their majors, which can not only earn more living expenses, relieve financial pressure, but also increase valuable employment experience, which is extremely beneficial for employment after graduation.
Of course, students need more time to devote to their studies. While there is not much academic stress during college, time will pass quickly if you don't put in the effort, and you may regret not achieving more by the time you graduate.
Overall, the communication between students and parents about the cost of living is a comforting thing. After entering the university, students are away from their parents and go to school in other provinces, which is a relief for students because they are no longer under the control of their parents.
However, for parents, they are worried about their students' lives at school, worried that students will not be able to handle relationships properly, and that they will not be able to take care of themselves outside. Therefore, students need to report their safety to their parents in their free time and make ** calls, which can not only reassure parents, but also bring parents closer to each other.
If the living expenses are not enough, students can also earn more money by working part-time, but they must choose formal channels, only then can parents rest assured.
