5 Quick Ways To Turn Your Closet Into Cash
New England Closets

Money is tight in college with tuition, groceries and having to buy new workout pants because you wore the last pair until there was a hole in them. Don't worry, there's money up for grabs sitting where you didn't even know it – in your closet. It's time to admit to yourself that if you haven't worn it in a year, you're not going to wear it today. Also, it's not healthy to keep clothes around that are too big or small. Keep clothes around that fit your current body! Regardless, it's time for a closet purge to pay for a new pair of workout pants you can wear every day – one without holes.

1. Poshmark

Poshmark is an app where you can list and sell your old clothes! The buyers have to pay for shipping themselves, so when you make a sale you just print out the shipping label and place the package is the pre-paid bin at the post office – simple! This can bring in some extra cash to buy yourself some new clothes that you will actually wear.

2. Plato's Closet

Plato's can be a great way to get those old clothes out of your closet ASAP and have cash in hand the same day. Although, Plato's does not always take all your items if some of them are too outdated. Regardless, you can make cash quickly by going to Plato's!

3. Free and For Sale Pages

Post your clothing haul on a selling page for $5 each item and watch the items fly away. $5 may seem cheap, but if you're selling a lot of clothing, this money will add up quite quickly. Somebody's trash is another's treasure – right?

4. Make Your Own Page

Make a Facebook event just for yourself and invite all your friends. Post all the clothing you have for sale and their price and size. This gives your friends a chance to finally own that piece of clothing they always borrowed from you anyway. If your friends have a similar style to yours, this is a great way to make some quick cash.

5. Mercari

Mercari is another app that you and buy and sell clothing through. Though, Mercari does not pay for shipping like Poshmark, so be sure to price your items accordingly so you don't spend all your earnings on shipping. Mercari also doesn't have as strict guidelines as to what you can sell, so you could sell other things like old room decorations and such too!

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.
