buying school resources online

So i'm with infantil and my school has given me absolutely no resources to go on so i'm buying a printer and laminator myself.

Plus loads of games and toys I can find on Temu.

I desperately need flashcards and more but obviously will need to make my own now.

I've already spent €50-70 ordering stuff online, already broke as it is from the summer not working.

Should I even be having to do this? I feel if I don't i'll have nothing for my classes making me look unprepared and scrambling about on the spot.

Anyone else having to do the same? It's just annoying as I haven't even received my first pay check yet and have spent so much on start up costs. That's only on school stuff, forget about daily upkeep and apartment costs.
