Idk if I should stay in this company or travel back home and keep studying

I (20F) moved out of my country 3 months ago to do an unpaid internship at a important company at my sector (that I don't really know if I like, I just studied this because it was free and had to keep studying until I figured something out) and now that I'm finishing I could ask then if I could get a contract.

Their standard contract is 1 year and 1700€ month after taxes. I want to keep studying in September and I know that if I stop for a whole year I won't be able to continue.

I don't like the job but it's a lot of money. I'm alone since I don't have friends in the country and really miss my cat, but I need money

The job is soooo boring amd has a lot of time to kill (without computer or phone and since I have no friends, in silence staring at the void)

I really don't know if staying just another 2 months is possible but the 1 year contract would make me go through a winter of more than -10°C without car, and having to make a 20 minute walk to the company and nearest supermarket to my house (30m² without oven or freezer and a really bad fridge that works sometimes, but its 600€ with water power and wifi included)

I know if I go I won't be able to return to the company and I really really miss my cat and friends, so help.

What would you do?

stay 1 year

stay the summer

go home

Is there someone in your family who accepts asking for general helps but absolutely hates asking for specific helps?

Example here is a parent who is somewhat proactive in asking for general financial help for rent, but when it comes to asking for a specific disability help is very like "nooooo, you'll get stigmatized, ostracized, don't do it or your life is done" (caricature but that's the idea).

Yes I know someone like this

I used to but they changed (in better or worse?)

No I don't know anyone like this

(Btw, this is about Europe, not the USA so the helps described are probably different from what most of you know)

Absolutely devastating news: My Cloud Blue Apple Watch Sport Loop Band is starting to get kinda gross. It's honestly holding up better than most light-colored bands, but I need to wash it. I'm going to try to put it through the laundry next time by zipping it up in one of my jogger pockets, but if that doesn't work, I think I'm gonna have to stop wearing it.

That's not the problem. The main problem is that... my beloved Black Unity Knitted Solo Loop Band doesn't fit anymore. I can't buy another one because they're like $100, and I don't have that kinda disposable income rn. Apparently with the increased chassis height and decreased thickness of the Apple Watch Series 10, my old Size 6 Solo Loop doesn't fit properly anymore. It used to be snug on my Series 4, but now I can't even push the crown button without pushing the entire watch halfway down my arm. I'm so sad.

Anyway, if the Cloud Blue Sport Loop doesn't come out of the laundry looking clean, then I'm gonna have to wear a different band. My go-to was the Black Unity Knitted Solo band, but that plan is now out the window. So now you all need to give me advice on which band I should wear (if my Cloud Blue Sport Loop doesn't get cleaned well enough).

Which Band Should I Wear?

(PRODUCT)RED Silicone Sport Buckle

Silver Stainless Steel Milanese Loop
