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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
