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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
