There are so many clothing apps available these days sell your clothes on such as Poshmark, Thread-up, and eBay. You can sell your old shoes, jeans, and even handbags.

2. Use reward or rebate apps

What is better than getting rewarded for the shopping you do already do? With Ibotta, Drop, and Shopkick, you can get points that rack up in exchange for gift cards to top stores and sites.

3. Tutor

Your college may have a tutoring center you can get hired at but if not, there are plenty of online platforms available that will pay you. If you made a good grade in a class why not get paid to help someone understand it?

4. Do hair and makeup

For girls who love doing makeup and hair is most likely an everyday occurrence, so offer up your skills to any who needs them. For sorority formals, date functions, charity galas, even Valentine's Day; some girls love to get glammed up and do not want to pay the full salon price.

5. Become a babysitter or pet-sitter

Many college kids have pets you could watch, or families who need extra help watching their children. For pet sitting offer your services to friends or ask if they have family with pets. For babysitting, Care.com is a resource for finding baby-sitting gigs.

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.
