5 Ways To Make Extra Money In College

As most of us know, college is expensive. Even after all the scholarships, loans and the job you have, you still don't have a lot of money. So here are a few tips I learned on how to make extra cash in college.

1. Sign up for surveys

One of the survey companies I'm apart of is www.surveysavvy.com. It’s completely free and you get paid for answering questions! Once every week and every few weeks you'll receive a survey either to ask your opinion on a product or just some questions and you'll receive points which turn into money or you can trade the points you make into gift cards.

2. Become a rep

Many different companies love college students to be a rep for them. PuraVida for example always has college reps. You get free products and you get people to buy these products and you'll receive 10-20 percent commission. Different brand ambassadors are Vineyard Vine, Amazon and hundreds more. So apply for something that interests you and you could get easy cash.

3. Sell old clothes

I never knew how much clothes I had until I was packing up for college. There were so many Hollister shirts and skirts I haven't worn since my freshman year of high school. So every year I bring a big pile of clothes, shoes, bottoms and jewelry to Plato’s Closet. It all depends what they want and what's in style but you could end up getting 10-50 dollars back just by selling your old clothes!

4. Review music for money

There is a website called Slicethepie, you listen to different types of music and you get paid! While I haven't tried it, I just spent a half hour reading reviews and their pretty good!

5. Pick up groceries

Https://shoppers.instacart.com is a website where you can earn money by shopping and delivering groceries. You can even schedule it around your schedule.

While you won't be making $200 a week, the small amount of money you make add up in the long run.

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.

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.

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.
