The semester trap

Aid refunds land in one big August deposit that feels infinite and isn't. Dividing by the weeks in the semester converts it into a number your brain can actually use on a Tuesday. If the weekly figure looks grim, the levers are: cheaper housing, fewer subscriptions, more work-study hours — in that order of impact.
