3 Side Jobs Every College Student Should Have At Least ONCE

Let's be real, we're all broke. A little extra cash here and there could really help us out.

College is expensive. We have to pay for rent, food, toiletries, going out, and other miscellaneous expenses. There are a few easy things you can become a part of to make a little extra cash.

1. Poshmark / Depop

We all know we own too many clothes. More importantly, too many clothes we don't wear anymore. So, to put those extra clothes to use, you can sell them on online marketplaces! You'd be surprised how much money you can make from the nice things in your closet. When I went through my closet, I found so many things I forgot I had. Make a rule: if you haven't worn it in the last year- sell it!

2. Babysitting / Dog sitting / House Sitting

A lot of the times, parents want college students to come over while the kids are already sleeping and make sure they are safe. So, you're basically getting paid to sit and watch TV or do your homework. It really doesn't get better than that. You can find families on Care.com who are nearby where you can walk, take the bus, Uber, or drive if you have a car. On the app, you can click on which type of care you would like to provide- you can house sit, run errands, do laundry, etc. and you get paid cash!

3. Taking online surveys

If you google, "get paid for online survey," you'll find a lot of results. This job is the easiest and requires little effort. You seriously get paid to tell a brand how you feel about their company. There are many options like this on the internet. A company wants to know what the public thinks of their company.

It's easier than it seems! Go out and make a little extra cash!

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.
