In debt - need help

Hi
I'm a 20yr old student. For the first time in my life i'm overdrawn by nearly £500 and thats paying my rent. I have two irregular part time jobs where I only work if and when I'm needed. Currently on the hunt for a job without success. I have to fund two more months rent until Oct when I get a student loan installment.
I don't splurge on things I don't need, I barely shop.
I need help - any suggestions would be welcome. I don't know how to survive the summer.
Please help

Whilst I would never advocate being in debt, if you have a student account you are likely to have an interest free overdraft. My sons account with the Natwest allows £1,250 yr 1, he has used it but has not gone over it! Check out your account and if not a student account then get one! Post an SOA on here and the lovely people will help you work out a budget. Well done for recognising the danger signs!
Take care.
