College expenses add up quick- especially if you want to enjoy a social and a night out. However, there are several different ways out there to earn a few bucks time from time.

1. Donate plasma

If you get on the right schedule, this can add up quick. You can donate more often then you'd think and get paid for it every time. As a bonus, you get paid even more for your first few visits.

2. Sell your clothes on Poshmark or at Platos

It's time to Marie Kondo your closet and make a profit off it doing so. And believe me, purging clothes feels amazing in the end.

3. Have a subject you're pretty decent at? TUTOR! 

Not only can this turn a quick and easy decent sized profit, but it is also a great addition to your resume.

4. Uber or Lyft

Set your own hours. You can write your expenses off when it comes tax season, and create some hilarious memories along the way.

5. Easy peasy retail jobs

On top of getting paid for one of the easiest jobs to ever exist, you also got a bomb a$ discount on cute clothes. What better job than that?

6. Dog sitting or walking

Pet therapy is 10000% real, so why not make money off it as well?

7. Sell old textbooks

They're only collecting dust in your closet. What are you ever going to use them again?

8. Sell old graphing calculators and iClickers!

These are somethings that college students are always searching for at a discounted rate, but not something we always think about selling.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
