High heating and windows open hours to change the air, a house that looks like a spotlight so much effort is put into keeping all the lights on, two washing machines a day, and then again the fridge always open and the ever-present music from Spotify, i.e., computer on even when you are away from home.
A pretty picture that reflects the normalcy of many student apartments, but one that can be costly and weigh heavily on end-of-month bills.
Here, then, is the advice from the
Ministry of Productive Activities
