Side Hustles for College Students

In This Article:

Let's face it, a typical 9-5 job is not possible in the midst of juggling classes, clubs, societies, and social life. Still, most college students could use extra cash that can be earned on their own time. Here is a thought bubble of suggestions.

Tutor

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Use your best subject to help out someone else! If anyone seems behind in a class you're doing well in, try your best to help them out at an affordable price.

Freelance Art

Giphy

How many frat boys will need a tattoo designed? How many clubs will need a new logo, shirt design, or flyer made? If you're artistic and look in the right places, you can find many streams of income while having fun.

Ride Shares

Giphy

Not everyone will have a car on campus. Furthermore, there are some times when parking may not be worth the hassle to events. Driving for a ride share is a job that you can turn off and on at your leisure and still make money.

Sell Tasks

Giphy

Even in college, life is still going on outside of the books. Many people will, at least one point in the semester, be willing to pay for laundry or a dorm cleaning. Also, depending on local events, learning to do other's hair or nails every will can cause a constant stream of income. Birthdays, in addition to parties, football games, and other events and festivals, people will be feeling the need to look their best.

Food Delivery

Giphy

If a group of hungry college kids are studying, which kid will go get everyone food? No one wants to miss out on the studying for a while, or even just fun conversation, to go supply everyone else food in the middle of an impromptu meeting. Food delivery will always be needed. Furthermore, a car is not always necessary for this service. Many deliver on bikes, scooters, and even skateboards. Bringing a meal on any wheels is a service most in college will be willing to pay for.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
