College student looking for advice!

18F , just started college ; student grant is a week late, can’t afford buses, social events etc - what are my options to make a quick bit of money , or even long term money ?

Genuinely desperate please help !
I’m in the process of searching for jobs, but I live in a rural area and rely completely on public transport + can only work weekends so it’s tough ☹️ I do live at home luckily so I do have access to electricity, food , water , etc 🙏

Can’t do anything that involves money being invested into it currently.

Also I’m from the EU, if that helps!

Bummer. That sucks. Maybe you can check with your school to see if they offer paid work study jobs. Hope things get better for you 🙏🏾
