10 Ways To Make Extra Money In College
Money Minded Learning

Money — we all need it. Some of us have it, some of us don't. Everyone wouldn't mind a little more of it though. Here are 10 ways to make some extra money while you're in college.

1. Sell your clothes

We all have those things in our closets just hanging there, never to be worn again. Why not sell some of them and have a little extra spending money every now and again.

2. Tutor

Want money and gratification? Get both by helping your fellow student. Whether it's English, Math or somewhere in between, we all need some help sometimes.

3. Sell Your Hobbies

Are you an amazing painter? How about musician? Can you make trinkets and knick-knacks? Start an Etsy or open an old fashion Ebay account and share your gift with the world, for a small fee of course.

4. Do Online Surveys

Companies love customers. Companies want to hear from their customers. Chances are you are one of their many customers. Now it won't make you enough to quit your day job, but it will make you a few dollars here and there.

5. Sell Your Photos

Do you enjoy photography? Are you good at taking pictures? Why not get paid to take photos? Companies will pay for photos to use as stock photos. It's simple and easy and it's money.

6. Babysit

So this one is a little more catered to the girls, but there's nothing that says guys can't be amazing babysitters! It's pretty good money too!

7. Be In Medical Studies

So I know this sounds odd and even a bit scary but it could be totally worth it! Companies like NASA will even pay you to sleep!

8. Drive For Uber

If you love to drive and don't mind random people telling you where to go and being in your car, then Uber is perfect for you. Depending on the route, you could make a decent amount of money.

9. Create An Online Course

Through websites like Udemy.com, you can teach your own course in just about anything and get paid to do it!

10. Write For Odyssey

So maybe I am a little bit biased, but it really is good work. I get to write and get paid to do so. It's a great company on the rise! It really is a joy and an honor to be able to call myself an Odyssey writer.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
