<prompt> Human: Im a college student - graduating in May 2017 - with two internships lined up. My gross income from these experiences will be roughly 30,000. Since for both of the internships my company will be covering my housing, the only real expenses I foresee are food, fuel, entertainment, etc. Im confident that I will have enough money left over from my internships to completely pay off my 13.5k debt including interest; additionally, I should have some money left over to help fund my last year at school. So, should I immediately pay off my loans? Or should I just relax a bit, enjoy my income, and pay my debt after I graduate college?  <response>: Pay off student loan debt as early as possible. Thank me later.
