Summer is now in full swing and you may be finding out that you're running low on cash. Here are some ways for you to build that bank account back up.

1. A job

Of course this is the most obvious one. This would be the most consistent way for you to make some extra cash over break.

2. Sell your clothes

I'm sure if we all cleaned out our closets we'd find some items in there that we've never worn or haven't worn in forever. Why not make a little money off of it.

3. Tutor

Yes, school may be out but there are those kids and families that want to get ready for the next school year.

4. Babysit/nanny

There's always endless opportunities to watch some kids whether they're in your family or some neighborhood kids. This is probably one of the most easiest ways to make some cash.

5. Doing some odd-ball jobs/chores

I'm sure your mom or dad or someone you know has something that they've been meaning to get around to doing. Here's your perfect opportunity.

6. Walk dogs

There are multiple apps out there like Wag! where you can make a little extra money by simply spending time with some cute pups.

7. Pet-sitting/House-sitting

Along the lines of walking dogs, summer is of course the most popular time for people to be going on vacation, meaning they'll need someone to be around to keep things up in their house.

8. Use what you're interested in

Like taking photos? Good at writing? There are multiple ways you can use your hobbies or interests to make some money. Start taking peoples senior photos. Start editing people's papers or work they have to do.

9. Rent out items

Find yourself not really using that bike, camera, or even your car as often as you thought? Someone out there probably will be in need of it.

10. Drive for Uber/Lyft or Uber Eats/Postmates

People are going to need rides and you can help. Ride-share companies are a great way to make money on your own time.

Get creative! Make bracelets! Sell prints of photos you took! Summertime is the perfect time for you to be making some money while enjoying your break.

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.
