I worked every Saturday, the occasional cover-shift and bank holiday in a variety of departments. When it was time to leave for University, I decided to stay with the company and worked there for three years—right up to my graduation.

On top of that, your loan only just covers a night at the SU and some 15p noodles for dinner whilst scrolling longingly though travel bloggers Instagram wondering "just how do they do it?"
