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.

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.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
