Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So this is prompted from a *long* discussion I had with someone about workload.

Background:  
Degrees in the UK are different to those in other countries in that we get a fair amount of money from our Goverment so we don't have to pay for everything in a similar way to students in the US. Because of this, students with full time jobs (37+ hours a week) are rare if not non-existent, and some more academic universities ban term-time jobs completely.

So I was talking to my friend in South Carolina about a situation where a child wanted me to give them something I'd spent a lot of money on because they deemed me too old to deserve it (I'm 21). I mentioned that I told her that I "busted my ass working 24 hours part time alongside a full time degree" because, in the UK, 24 hours is considered a lot as an undergraduate. Immediately she told me that her friends and family would see meobnoxious and self-righteous because they would think I was using it as a "fuck you label" to the girl who wanted me to give away something I'd worked hard for.

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand how I could seem like a little shit, especially from, say, the perspective of a single mum who also works and goes to school, but AITA for complaining about my own situation with regards to someone trying to take my things for free? I just feel like I can't help getting frustrated when people saying that I'm lazy, or entitled when it comes to money; especially because I have a degree that means I spend 4/7 weekdays doing uni study and going to meetings, and then spend the other 3 working part time.

If y'all tell me I'm the asshole, at least I'll feel like it was justified, but it's just something that's irked me. AITA?
