You're gonna have to cut back on it if you wanna be able to save money. Do you have a meal plan or do you live in an apartment with a kitchen?

Do you have the ability to cook at all? And sometimes its cheaper than eating out all the time. Bc in the span of a week if you eat out everyday for say 2 meals spending at least $10 for your meal thats $100 weekly $200 bi weekly. And you probably get paid bi weekly.

Yes. Then take some of the remainder and put it towards your bills. So you aren't hit with it all at once at the end of the semester

Thats the balance that you gotta find. By eating out less you will be saving more and you won't have the panic of running out of money. By budgeting your money to cover your expenses such as food, bills, etc. you will find less stress in your life. For food to cook finding tutorials for easy affordable things to try can help. Make sure to put money into savings. And work on building an emergency fund as well for unexpected expenses
