Excessive Spending Among College Students
Currently, with the improvement of living standards, there has appeared a commonplace phenomenon that quite a few college students spend too excessively. Or, put another way, they spend money just like running water!
There are two main reasons accountable for this phenomenon. To begin with, it arises from peer pressure. When some college students see their classmates purchase fancy clothes or accessories, they just follow suit regardless of their own actual economic conditions. Secondly, many college students don’t have the slightest clue as to how to manage money on their own. According to a survey, more than 90% of college students have no budgets. They tend to spend far more living expenses than expected.
From my perspective, we college students are supposed to take a proper consumption view and also learn to budget our money, which is vital to our future life. Anyway, we survive on the money our parents give us and it will be more sensible for us to save money rather than waste it.

How Poverty Changes the Brain
A) You saw the pictures in science class—a profile view of the human brain, sectioned by function. The piece at the very front, right behind where a forehead would be if the brain were actually in someone\’s head, is the pre-frontal cortex (前额皮质). It handles problem-solving, goal-setting, and task execution. And it works with the limbic system (边缘系统), which is connected and sits closer to the center of the brain. The limbic system processes emotions and triggers emotional responses, in part because of its storage of long-term memory.
B) When a person lives in poverty, a growing body of research suggests the limbic system is constantly sending fear and stress messages to the prefrontal cortex, which overloads its ability to solve problems, set goals, and complete tasks in the most efficient ways.
C) This happens to everyone at some point, regardless of social class. The overload can be prompted by a number of things, including an overly stressful day at work or a family emergency. People in poverty, however, have the added burden of ever-present stress. They are constantly struggling to make ends meet and often bracing themselves against class bias that adds extra strain or even trauma to their daily lives. And the science is clear— when brain capacity is used up
