The state is not throwing money at me. It is lending me money that I will have to pay back with interest, and it's not enough to live off of without a summer job (which means very limited vacation), unless I manage to find another place to live that is super cheap (kinda impossible) and live very simple. I get 85700NOK over 10 months, and after subtracting rent for 12 months, that is 43400NOK, which is 3600 per month. This has to cover food, books (which are expeeensive), necessary clothes, a bus card, phone bill and all other living expenses, plus things like dental care and stuff. Sure, throwing money at me.
I'm pretty sure photo booths stopped costing 20kr years ago. The last time I used one, it cost 60, and my face ended up smaller than it needs to be according to the police's website, but I have no idea if that's common or not. I don't really know of any photo booths here anyways.
