<prompt> Human: Im currently a senior at my university. In order to graduate I have to complete a 480 hour internship. A month ago I had an interview at the Smithsonian and got the position as an unpaid intern.Right now I make about 2000month serving and bartending at a local bar. My parents dont support me financially and I had to have help from a relative for my fall classes because Ive exhausted all of my student loans federally. I cant apply for independent loans because Im not yet 24 and I wasnt legally emancipated before 18. The internship begins in January and Ive never lived anywhere but my small town in Tennessee. Since I was 18 I have lived on my own and paid all of my own bills except for health insurance. I need some advice on how to afford this internship. Thanks in advance.Assistant: What are you studying? Surely you didnt interview at only one place. How much do you have saved up, and do you know what your expenses will be? Ill tell you, depending on your answers and how well youve thought this through, it might not be worth it. Human: Im studying Parks and Recreation management with a minor in biology and a concentration in Entomology. The last interview I had was with a professor in charge a huge collection donated to ASU... he didnt respond so I thought why not try at the original place I was drawn to.I have only about 1000 saved I plan on saving 4000 over the next months and my expenses will be close to 1000month if I live in fairfax and eat ramen. But I plan on getting a job at a restaurant. Ive got plenty of experience.  <response>: I live in NOVA and go to GMU. How do you plan for your expenses to be 1000 a month?
