It's understandable for you to depend on your earnings from Hive. With the current inflation in the country, living on $10 weekly is almost impossible especially as a student.

I've been there and I know those lecturer can be demanding, always coming up with new materials to buy.

I think what is most important is you give back as you take - which I see you doing. It's good to see hive helping to reduce the burden. I hope it gets better.
