Living out of my car in A college town

I have my moms old suv it looks nice enough so it doesn’t attract too much attention. I also managed to make it more or less comfortable with a bunch of pillows and a small foam mattress. It is stealth too so I can load it up in the back and put the seats up and nobody would suspect a thing.

Anyway.

My plan is to do this and get really good at math. Spending all my days and hours at the college library or cafes doing math. Living in a car does give a kind of focus to things there’s less time to lounge around (I want to be out of bed at 6am sharp).

Thoughts on this arrangement?

Why I’m doing it?
As a re entry type student (I studied humanities at first) I don’t have a lot of friends and I don’t have any money so this will be cheap for me. My sleeping bag is rated for 10 degrees Fahrenheit so cold isn’t a problem. Showering and brushing teeth gets annoying though because I need to go to the gym twice a day minimum and the gym showers aren’t that nice/clean.

Another downside is that it does have a psychological effect of just making me a little more on the edge.
