.

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

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.
