<p>You have been offered $5000 in work study. You don’t have to earn it all if that is too much to work, but at least it is money you can earn for pizza, excursions off campus, special events, miscellaneous expenses that pop up inevitably, etc. You really should consider at least working a few hours a week, and some jobs are so easy they allow you to study when not busy. When living on campus, there are a lot of “down time” hours outside of class to fill with something.</p>
