So apparently, this week was national doughnut week. Which means, it was the one week where it was acceptable to indulge in doughy goodness in the pretence of adhering to custom. Look out for students with sugar-glazed lips exhibiting symptoms of ADHD…

Whilst we haven’t made any doughnuts at the Student Money Saver HQ, we do have access to other baked good recipes that may tickle your fancy.

We know that most students are currently facing exams and deadlines, so we figure a little sugary treat is not a bad thing.

Students in the news

This may not entirely be about students, or about the United Kingdom for that matter, but I found it extremely interesting to hear that the president of the United States and essentially the leader of the world only managed to finish paying off his student debt eight years ago. I have never claimed to be a mathematician, but I can only assume that he had stable finances in order to be able to campaign for presidency, and if it took him that long, it can only mean that us mere humans can look forward to lifetime of debt. Hurrah!

After this news, we figured it would be an appropriate time to educate the student masses on the various means of gaining access to funding and scholarships.

That’s all for now guys. Happy saving!
