It's another amazing week, and you know what that means - it's the 10th edition of the weekly prompt to spark your creativity and get those ideas flowing in. Hive Student Connect is a community where students on Hive share their blogs. It is a vibrant space for Hive students to engage, learn, connect, and collaborate to grow and develop.

Whether you are currently a student or have already finished school, you are welcome to share your perspective.

This is your chance to express yourself and connect with others in the community.

Each week, we bring a unique theme or idea, something that challenges your mind, invites you, and simply pushes you to have fun while playing with words.

So ready to dive in? Below is the week's prompt, along with the guidelines to follow. Please ensure you read them in order not to make any mistakes.

Don't forget to tag the post correctly and share your entries in the Discord channel and not in the comment section. - Very compulsory!

"How Do You Manage Money As a Student?"

Money is one of the biggest challenges on campus for students. It is needed for literally everything, from paying for books (handouts) to registering for a group project, buying food, transportation, data, or even to hang out with friends after a stressful day. Money is something every student believes is needed to make life on campus fun, and without it, the possibility of these things becomes a thing of struggle. It often feels like money just disappears as soon as it gets into their hands.

This week, we want to know how you personally manage your finances as a student.

How do you balance your daily and monthly budgets? Are you the type that keeps a record of your spending, or do you try to control yourself with overspending? Do you even save part of your allowances or from part-time jobs, or are you in the category of students who run broke before the month ends? Trust me, this is always a hard time for a student.

For example, there was a budgeting app that I discovered while on campus, and it greatly helped me manage my finances by dividing my allowance into three parts: food, transportation and savings. The savings do come through for me during an emergency.

For someone else, it might be that the way they manage their money is cooking their meals instead of buying food on campus. That saves a lot of time.

You can also share funny or tough moments, like the time you spent all your money on snacks or even materials that are made compulsory and had to survive on noodles or garri for a week.

So, let us in on how you do it! Share your tips, struggles and the lessons you learned while managing your finances and how they helped you.

Please share your story in detail so that others can catch the whole thing and laugh with you, relate with you or be reminded of their own school experiences with money. Thank you!
