Whether you're a college kid, a business owner, or just someone trying their best; there is always room for a few more bucks in your wallet. Sometimes, in order to make more cash, it requires working more hours, donating plasma, or seeing how much your liver will sell for on the black market, but it doesn't always have to be that hard. As long as you have a smartphone and internet access, there are so many ways to make some extra money by just sitting at home.

These are 5 apps that will help you rake in some extra dough this year.

1. Panel App

Okay, so technically with this one you have to do a bit more than sit at home. This app uses your GPS and as you travel the world (or maybe just to and from class) it racks up points. It also generates surveys to help build your points quicker! It's the easiest app to make a few bucks, although not the quickest. Just download and go!

2. S'more

S'more is an app that not everyone will love but many will appreciate. Basically, once you download and set it up it displays ads on your lock screen. At first, I was a little skeptical of this app but soon realized it was harmless. Every day you unlock your phone you get 10cents. It doesn't seem like much but it starts to add up. My biggest concern with this app was if it would drain my battery life but it seems like it has no effect. S'more also offers surveys as a way to try to earn points quicker.

3. HQ

HQ is a trivia game that takes place 1-2 a day. This one is a little harder to earn cash because with trivia you have to get the answers right. Each game has a $2,000 or more prize that you could win! There are 12 questions. They start off easy, and sometimes laughable, but quickly become harder. You have 10 seconds to answer the question but if you don't make it in time or hit an incorrect answer, you're eliminated. If you're the sole winner, the money is all yours! If multiple people win the money is divided amongst them.

4. Swagbucks

If you're shopping, watching videos, surfing the web, playing games, or anything else possible; Swagbucks could help make you some money. They offer points for just searching for popular keywords while googling, well, anything. You can watch videos about politics, celebrities, or sports and earn points after finishing a pre-made playlist. If you're online shopping, they offer cash back for a huge selection of online retailers. You can play games on their website or if you spend money on any mobile games you can get cash back. They also offer surveys to complete if all those other options aren't enough. Basically, anything you do on a computer of smartphone, Swagbucks can help.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
