The feeling of your student loan landing in your bank account is one that everyone who’s been to uni will miss.
It’s (practically) free money to be used on tuition fees, books and of course going out.
But while most students see it as a benefit to their student life, Catherine saw it as an investment for the future.
The 29-year-old decided she would use her student loan on something more useful than education – a £3,600 boob job.
Catherine Byrne, who was 22 at the time, blew £14,000 on surgery, Botox and fillers, after only one month of being at university.
She had applied to study psychology at the University of East London but says she had absolutely no intention of studying or getting a degree.
Catherine, from Essex, told the Sun: ‘At first I was shocked when I got in. I quickly applied for a student loan and was over the moon when I got my loan letter in the post.
‘I already knew exactly what I was going to spend the money on.’

She had to attend lectures for the first two weeks, but while her friends were buying books, she was planning where she would have her boob job.
She said: ‘As soon as the money hit my account I booked in to have a breast enlargement in London and I quit my course. My new boobs made me feel a million times better about myself.
‘I suddenly had loads more confidence and no longer felt insecure about the way I looked. It made me even more sure of my decision to use the money to invest in my body instead of my brain.
‘I told my family and friends what I had done and they just laughed. They all know I’m always finding ways to get what I want — I don’t think they were surprised.’

Yet the boob job wasn’t enough for the Essex girl. Soon after, Catherine used the rest of her loan on £560 Botox injections in her face and collagen to plump up her lips.
Catherine failed her year, unsurprisingly, but saw this as a positive because it allowed her to convince tutors to take her back, so she could apply for another year of loans.
After using the excuse that she was ‘overwhelmed’ in first year, her tutors gave her another chance, and she received a further £7,000 in the bank.
She also spent the money on clothes and a new car, without even having to go to campus, and said that it would have been a ‘waste to spend it on boring books.’
She added: ‘I’m the one who has really invested in my future because my bigger boobs have made me happier every single day.
‘If I was going to have all that debt, I may as well have had something to show for it.’
Catherine has been left with a huge £17,572 debt that she will have to pay back if and when she earns more than £17,000 a year.
But the glamour model doesn’t see herself earning enough to pay it back so is hoping that after 25 years it will be written off.
