5 Easy Ways To Make Money In Summer 2017
Content Marketing Up

Most of us have summer jobs by now, I know I do, but sometimes it's not to not only make your usual paycheck but also a little extra spending money too. I have been trying to save money for the future but it's nice to have a little extra spending money during the summer, especially for adventures, bathing suits and ice cream!

1. House Sitting

This is honestly one of the easiest ways to make money and it's so easy. You basically get paid to live, which is necessary anyways.

2. Pet Sitting

Sometimes this goes along with house sitting and it's pretty easy and super cute. If I could get paid to pet and take care of pups everyday I would do it.

3. Open a Savings Account

Okay, so technically this isn't exactly making money, but it's definitely key in saving money. If your paycheck each week is going into a checking account that you are constantly taking money out of you're probably losing money in the long run. Whereas with a savings account, you can have a little spending money in your checking and a lot more in your savings that you aren't spending on that shirt you just have to have...

4. Move Home For a Little While

This also is kind of a cheat way of "making money", but moving home frees up bill paying and money that you might be spending each month on groceries, electricity, and rent.

5. Advertise Your Talents

Most towns have an online community posting site where people post jobs or list their skill sets in case anyone needs them. Maybe you are really good at cleaning houses or make jewelry in your spare time. You can communicate with your community's members and maybe make some extra cash!

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.

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.
