Here we go! The semester is about to start, and the only problem is figuring out how to pay tuition. The price of higher education is ridiculous and puts most of us in debt. Here's a few ways that you can make a minor dent in paying for college.
1. Scholarships!
It's free money if you're lucky enough to get them and have the patience to fill out the same information on a hundred different scholarships ranging from a thousand dollars to fifty.
2. Loans
They suck, but you don't have much of a choice.
3. Work part time
Between classes and work you'll be pretty dead, and minimum wage only goes so far when you have other bills to pay.
4. Start selling
Sell old clothes or belongings that you don't want.
5. Get creative
Make scarves, jewelry, paintings or DIY stuff to sell.
6. Desperation works too.
You'll find yourself playing chicken with cars as you cross the street.
7. Beg
Set up a water stand on the side of the street (not lemonade because water is free) and sell it to people walking by. It's so hot and you're pretty pitiful they might actually buy it.
8. Bide your time
This only works for so long because you will eventually have to pay.
9. Hunt for loose change.

People drop change (sometimes even cash) on the street. Who cares if it's only a penny, you are still one penny richer!
10. Consider the alternatives
Admit it you know you'd be able to pay tuition easily if you were a stripper or went "Breaking Bad."
11. You have looked up whether or not you need both kidneys.
12. Then you remember that Hogwarts is free and you cry in side because you're just a muggle trying to get an education.
