The Broke Student Diaries: My Story of Struggle, Solitude, and Survival.

Hey, I’m Unknow like you. Honestly? Life as a broke student is tough, sometimes unbearably so. I don’t have fancy words or perfect advice yet. I’m just someone sitting here, feeling the same fears, the same pain, the same loneliness that you probably feel too. This blog is where I’ll share my real story, hoping it helps you feel less alone.

Struggles

 I felt invisible, not just to others, but to myself. What hurt more was the silence, no close friends to lean on, no one to say, “I get it.” It’s like you’re screaming, but no one hears. You feel trapped inside your own head, battling financial worries that never sleep. No one to say I am here for you. Sometimes I feel I am all alone, even though many people are around me, I am still, it feels like no one is here for me.

Reality

All this stress doesn’t just vanish when you sit in class. It follows you everywhere. My grades dropped because my mind was always tangled in anxiety. Some nights, tears came silently in the dark, not because I was weak, but because the weight of it all was crushing. It was a harsh truth that i was for everyone, but there was no one for me. Mental health? It took a nosedive. Sometimes, I questioned if I could keep going, if I even deserved to.

Turning Point

But somewhere deep inside, a tiny voice whispered, “Keep going.” I started small, watching free tutorials online, trying to earn a few bucks with zero experience, even just telling myself one positive thing each day. I reached out in online groups and found people who understood.  Also told myself that in this world full of hustlers, I have to fall myself and stand on the same feet with whom I fell to make myself better, cause I got to know one thing very clearly that NO ONE will come to rescue me when I am in trouble. It wasn’t instant magic, but those small sparks built a little light in the dark.
