Being a student is so hard nowadays. I've been spending a lot for school requirements and different activities related to education. I'm stuck with this saying "SAVING IS WASTING", thinking that with the little amount of money I have, should I put it on an investment or should I just save it for my future expenses or emergencies. I'm also living in a country in which there are limited side hustles I could do to earn extra for investment, so I'm troubled somehow.

As you said that you consider little amount of your money, i suggest you to do not touch your education fund for investment while you must pay your education bill soon. you will be regret it if you lost your investment but you have to pay your education bill in hurry.

Always have that allocation on things which are important, you should really know on how to distinguish in both things or any other which are really that relevant when it comes to
your future plans and goals in life. Saving isnt wasting as long you do know on what are your priorities or simply does have the balance on something which you do really need. Its really that bad if you are really that neglecting out education budget allocation just because you are focusing into other side of things which you said that in the end you would be still needing funds when the time comes.
So better be prepared rather than on getting shocked.

Saving isnt wasting but it would be more worth if you do put it up on an investment to earn possible more income and make more savings but we arent that going in all in.
Always be mindful that there would really be things which you would be needing to allocate funds and save on it.
