College can be a tough time in anyone's life, especially for those of us who are financially independent. Imagine trying to balance good grades, a social life, a job, and sleep. It's damn near impossible and yet the strong still manage to make it happen. These are just a few things that every financially independent college student has experienced.
1. When you just worked a double but have homework to do
2. When someone else claims to be a broke college student but their parents pay their bills
3. When that direct deposit hits
4. When you spend it all on rent
5. When your friends say you work too much
6. When you check your bank account after paying all your bills
7. When a family member gives you money
8. When you think about how one day it'll all be worth it
9. When someone says, "OMG there's no way I could do that. You're amazing."
