The coronavirus has caused people to lose their jobs, making it hard to pay bills and purchase necessities. It has also made it harder for teenagers to get jobs and save money for college or to pay for their own necessities that their parents won't pay for. Here's some jobs that you can do if you are struggling to make money right now.

1. Instacart

Instacart is what I have currently been doing to make some extra money. You go grocery shopping for other people and deliver it to their house. You get paid from Instacart and tips on top of that. It's an extremely easy and quick way to make money.

2. Working at a grocery store

I've noticed that a lot of grocery stores are hiring at the moment. My friend just got a job at one and she said it pays well and has a flexible schedule. The only thing she personally does not like about it is having to be on her feet for 8 hours straight.

3. Doordash

Doordash is another option to make some easy money. You accept the order, go to the restaurant to pick up the food, and deliver it. It's as simple as that. Just like Instacart, you get paid from Doordash and you also receive tips.

4. Babysitting/Nannying

Some states are beginning to reopen and are allowing businesses to have their employees come back to work. These employees may need someone to watch their kids if daycares aren't open yet. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you don't like kids.

5. Uber

If you have your own car, consider becoming an Uber driver. It pays well and some people may prefer to take an Uber instead of a bus or train right now.

6. Create your own small business

Come up with an idea you are passionate about and sell it! There are tons of platforms out there to help you promote your idea or product. Plus, you would be your own boss and who wouldn't want that?

Get out there and start making money. There are endless options of what you can do.

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. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
