<p>I spend nearly 70 a week just in gasoline, groceries cost me 30 for a week, thats already 400 in a month; that 1300 won't last you half your semester with current prices for everything from fuel to food going up; & this is living at a very average style.</p>
<p>It may seem like much to you now, but realistically, 1300 is not alot to live on. I was broke for part of one year at college and its no fun. Well it can be relative fun if you got some rich friends that don't mind your mooching, but that really only works if you don't let your pride get in the way. It can definitely last you a whole semester, but two semesters and you'd be out and you'd have to work anyway. Get ahead of the game, work now.</p>
<p>1300 is not a lot of money, you can easily burn through 100 or 200 a week...</p>
<p>So basically, go get a job. It's better to have more money than you end up needing than less.</p>
<p>And don't live off of ramen.</p>
<p>Decent summary?</p>
