Stay organized and level headed during this time of panic and chaos so that you do not become overwhelmed. Simply re-evaluate your current budget and set a new, more cautious, one in its place.  If you can squeeze a part time job into your schedule try to apply for positions as soon as possible.  If you already have a job try to pick up more hours.

Decreasing your spending and finding ways to generate a steady income all while balancing school work is not an easy task.  However with that said, it can be done.  Shopping the advertisements and using coupons can go a lot further than you would think.  You can get two weeks minimum  worth of groceries for thirty dollars if you spend it wisely.  The money does not just affect your grocery list but also your social life.  If money gets to be tight the first thing chopped is spending on leisurely items.
