1. Calculate a simple account from the food expenses

When I was in college, my monthly food expenses were 1 yuan, which included everything in 1 yuan. At that time, the school food was fairly cheap. If I went to the dining hall every month, one month in 7 yuan would be enough, leaving only 3 yuan, but this was still the case when I had to go to the dining hall every day. Sometimes I was too lazy to go to the dining hall and occasionally ordered takeout, which cost more than this. The phone bill is 5 yuan per month, and the transportation card is 5 yuan. If you don't get sick, buy clothes, go out for a midnight snack or have a girlfriend every month, you can save 2 yuan from the food expenses every month. I thought about saving money from meals, which was of little significance. Not to mention the 8 yuan that I had to spend every month, it was inevitable that I would have entertainment and get sick. Later, I decisively gave up the idea of saving money from meals for travel.

2, a turning point-work-study program

The turning point was in the sophomore year

Shortly after the start of the sophomore year, there was news in the class that anyone who was willing to work-study program could download the registration form from the file group. Out of curiosity and the desire to make money, I downloaded it and later filled out the registration form. When I was a freshman, I didn't take work-study programs seriously. Looking back, I felt like I missed a lot of money. The school provides students with jobs for work-study programs. Although the money is not much, it is available in a month or so after coming to 6 yuan. When there are many jobs, it will cost 7 yuan. Moreover, the work is not very hard and there is time in the university. Why not? After the application form was approved, I went to make money, oh~ no, I worked hard.

At that time, my job was garbage removal, that is, several people together took the garbage from the girls' dormitory to the garbage dump by cart. During this period, I often met many classmates. What I want to say here is that if you work part-time, you should not care about other people's opinions. After all, there is nothing shameful about the money earned by your own hands.

3. Find a part-time job

My school is relatively remote, and it is in the suburbs of Guangzhou. There are no part-time jobs like McDonald's and KFC nearby, but there are some take-away staff recruited by various small restaurants. When I was a sophomore, I did take delivery for a while, but it was hard and took up more of my own time. However, the advantage was that I even saved food for taking delivery, because it was all inclusive. Later, I really didn't do it because it took too much time and was too hard. If you have a friend or classmate who works part-time, you can also ask him to introduce you. After all, the money made by a part-time job in one day should be hundreds, and a few days' work is enough for a month's salary, but the work-study program is a little more stable.

You can find a part-time job through multiple channels, but what I want to say is, you must wipe your eyes to prevent swindlers. I have looked for it online several times before, but I didn't say anything. I only need you to make money to become a member before I can introduce you to a job. In this case, you just have to remember that you are here to make money, not to spend money, and you don't have to pay attention to them at all. Just leave. Keep your eyes open and protect yourself first. It would be great if some students took part-time jobs together. If you have good skills, you can look for a corresponding job online.

4. Scholarships

In fact, this is very simple. As long as you study hard and get excellent grades, you will naturally get scholarships, and there are many scholarships for one year. However, as a student, I still give up this option. Good luck.

5. Others

If you can still receive lucky money during the New Year, you can save some. If you can find a good tutor, congratulations. The income from tutoring is very good. In fact, there are many ways to make money, but that's what suits me at that time. If you are a rich second generation, consider me farting.

Later, I took the first month's salary of work-study program and went to Fenghuang Ancient City. There are two reasons why I chose Phoenix for my first trip. First, because Hunan is close to Guangdong (I studied in Guangzhou), I didn't dare to go too far for my first trip. Second, because of Shen Congwen. I just finished reading "Border Town" before I came here, and I was a little curious about the customs of Xiangxi written by Shen Congwen. I decided on this journey after thinking about it.

I bought a hard seat for the train, and it was 14.5 yuan for one way and 29 yuan for round trip from Guangzhou Railway Station to Jishou. I can't help it. I was still a poor student at that time, and I mainly saved money. Later, I came back to sum up all the expenses of this trip. For five days and four nights, the expenses did not exceed that of 8 yuan, which was enough to save money.

When I took a bus from school to Guangzhou Railway Station with my backpack on my back, I was a little nervous and very scared. After all, it was the first time in my life and I was traveling alone. The night before departure, I asked my roommate how to take the train and what the process of entering the station was. I really didn't dare to be careless. But I was intimidated by my roommate that night, and several people took turns to scare me, saying that the probability that I met a pyramid scheme alone was very high. Now that I think about it, I really want to beat them up.

It's worth mentioning the mode of transportation. I chose to sit in Jishou from Guangzhou. After getting off the train, I left the train station. There is a bus station where I can take a ride to Phoenix. It takes about an hour to get there. But remember, there are too many uncles and aunts at the gate after leaving the train station to strike up a conversation with you. It is suggested that you just ignore them and take a ride at the passenger station yourself. When you get to Phoenix, you have to take a bus from 2 yuan to get to the ancient city of Phoenix, and there is a bus where the bus gets off. —— The above memories from 213, after so many years, I don't know if they have changed. You can check online and confirm the itinerary.

Before I went to Phoenix, I saw a post written by a student friend in Guangzhou about a travel guide to the ancient city of Phoenix. In it, I saw a youth tour called "Peninsula Hotel" introduced by him. Before I left, I asked the contact information of the youth tour, booked a room in advance, and I stayed there directly after I went to Phoenix.

This youth hostel is not bad, it's clean, but the key point is that it's cheap. I'll stay in 3 yuan for one day. At that time, it was agreed with the boss in advance that we would also eat in the store, have a meal in 1 yuan, and have a normal diet. Hunan cuisine is a heavy taste for Cantonese people, so how can it be a spicy word? However, this youth brigade has a bad place, that is, the light is insufficient, and even the door is in the alley, but the rest is fine. It was my boss who picked me up on the day I went. We called him Angkor, and he was very easy-going.

This is Cuicui, who was a volunteer of the Youth Travel Service at that time. I was very grateful to her for taking care of me, being my guide and taking photos. It was a wonderful memory.

You can sit down, light a beer, and listen to the singer singing while basking in the sun.

I met this cat basking in the sun that day, and I will come here to bask in the sun for the next few afternoons, and then read books, and there are free songs to listen to.

Phoenix is comfortable in the daytime, but it is very open at night. Bar street, I am a little annoying, too noisy, but the night view is beautiful.

in the evening, I prefer to sit by the Tuojiang River and watch people walking around. You watch the scenery on the bridge, people upstairs are watching you, and I sit by the river and watch you, and I am also watched by you.

At night, the banks of the Tuojiang River are brightly lit. One person sits on a bench on the shore and crosses his legs to watch the night scene. One person listens to Eason Chan's songs, and one person is in a daze, watching the water on both sides of the Tuojiang River slowly pass by. Time also flows through my fingers like the water in the Tuojiang River. It is a kind of enjoyment.

The legendary river demon in Baota Town

On the day when I was leaving Phoenix, I got up very early in the morning, just pulling Cuicui to accompany me to feel the morning of Phoenix. Going out at 6 o'clock in the morning, it was still dark, and it was just me and Cuicui. When we went out, there was no one outside, and two people were walking in the street, playing music. It was a good feeling. Slowly, the sun came out and there were more people.

We also met two primary school students who were catching up on their homework. Looking at them like this, I also remembered the scene of copying my homework when I was a child. Time passed too fast.

If you come to visit Phoenix, I personally suggest that you just visit it for two days. It is a small ancient city with serious commercialization, but as long as you come here, you will find the beauty you want.

Back to the topic, it is actually very simple for college students to travel. When they have no money, they should learn how to increase their income and how to save money for poor travel. In fact, I think it is a good choice for college students to travel in poverty, which can not only see the scenery they want, but also save a little money. Such as taking a hard seat on the train, staying in a youth tour, and so on, all kinds of ways to save money. When you look back one day, when you are rich, these ways will make you memorable, because it contains youth and courage, and more importantly, there is a good memory for you here.
