<prompt> Human: Hey guys,Well, Ill try to make this as concise as possible. Im in my last year of university and live in an apartment complex near campus. I take out student loans every semester and I had a job at the complex that I live at, but back in October I quit to get a job in a lab that dealt with my major. Long story short, the lab gig didnt work out and I havent had a job for the last month even though Ive been applying at various places.I currently have 90 in my bank account, and on December 1st I will owe close to 800. Doing the math, it seems to me that I may be in trouble. Borrowing money from family is out of the question, as I dont have any and borrowing money from friends is out of the question as well because theyre all almost as broke as I am. Basically it seems like my only option at this point is to go in and tell the manager at my apartment complex what is going on and show proof that Ill get more financial aid in January and basically ask to be late on rent for both December and January. The manager is not a nice woman and Id rather not talk to her, but I did leave my employment on good terms. Any input on what the best course of action here is? I wouldnt say Im in full-panic mode yet, but this is definitely not an ideal situation. I signed a lease that was way too expensive and was careless with my money and when I lost that job, man was it game over for me. Please let me know if you have any advice and thank you for your time.Assistant: While you work it out with the landlord, get a job, any job, now. Human: Thanks for the reply, I guess its time to put the ole pride aside and grab a spatula  <response>: Thats a great attitude. Good on you. If you hustle you can make the payment. But even if you remain short, think of it as reducing how difficult it may be to recover 6 months from now should something else come up.
