This is a question Unemployed

I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."

You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Did a similar thing
at University- bugger all money, and tbh far too drunk and lazy to get a job (a situation that's now been rectified).

I managed to take a tenner out of the bank, spend £9.50 on Tesco's 8p noodles, some cheap cola and some other random crap and then- with the remaining 50p- fund about a week of nights out using just quiz machines and playing (and winning at) air hockey.
Made a small pile of money (couple of hundred quid in a week), drank most of it away, ended up putting £10 back into the bank.

If I'd had the sense to find other locations to take money off (rather than pissing off DUSA so they stopped keeping it properly stocked with coins) and to not have drunk it all away I could have pretty easily made more money than I'm currently working my ass off for.

"playing (and winning at) air hockey."
I feel a Color of Money-esque screenplay coming on...
