I've been having issues with concentration and staying awake during my online lessons recently, and today I missed the explaination of my assignment (and my tutor started recording after the explanation) so I emailed my tutor - within class hours - asking her for help cuz I'm struggling
And heard nothing back, no okay I'll get that over to you or anything
Great support that I might bring up with the course leader
asking for help with living costs, boosts appreciated
The DWP have taken £1000 p/m away from us because I have student loans. Loans that we'll have to pay back and have been spent on things I need for my course. We covered Nov, but we'll have nothing for Dec. We still need around £600 to cover everything
My commissions are also still open, and if y'all want writing please go DM @caelyn Buying things from my Etsy store also helps.

Our Universal Credit statement went up today and our entire payment is £167 again. It's what I expected, but still a bit of a gut punch, especially as we should be getting about twice that, but they're clawing back overpayments and an advance.
It's so incredibly fucked up that the government considers student loans to be income equivalent to wages. They're fucking LOANS, it's in the name. Plus the fact that student expenses aren't taking into account at all. It's just "Hey, we're replacing your poverty level income with loans and you're gonna have to find room in your budget for books and shit."
