5 Simple Ways To Make Some Extra Cash

.

1. Babysitting

Every family needs a babysitter, so I am sure you can find at least 4 or 5 parents who are actively searching for babysitting help in your neighborhood. Babysitters tend to make between $10 to $25 per hour, depending on the family.

2. Garage sale

Got no more use for that tennis racket that has been collecting dust in your garage for the last 7 years? Garage sales are the perfect opportunity to sell old, used items that you have no use for and turn them in for some quick cash.

3. Mow lawns / shovel snow

In the Fall, Spring, and Summer, lawns always need to be trimmed. Take advantage of the opportunity and charge anywhere between $10 and $50 to mow one's lawn. Come winter, snow covers a house's driveway. It is cold, meaning people are usually more willing to pay someone else to do it for them.

4. Uber/Lyft driver

Uber claims that their drivers take home $25 per hour and Lyft claims that drivers can earn as much as $35 per hour.

5. Sell your education.

What do I mean by selling your education?

- Sell old class notes

- Sell study guides

- Tutor other students

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.
