10 Ways To Make Extra Money In College
Money Minded Learning

Money — we all need it. Some of us have it, some of us don't. Everyone wouldn't mind a little more of it though. Here are 10 ways to make some extra money while you're in college.

1. Sell your clothes

We all have those things in our closets just hanging there, never to be worn again. Why not sell some of them and have a little extra spending money every now and again.

2. Tutor

Want money and gratification? Get both by helping your fellow student. Whether it's English, Math or somewhere in between, we all need some help sometimes.

3. Sell Your Hobbies

Are you an amazing painter? How about musician? Can you make trinkets and knick-knacks? Start an Etsy or open an old fashion Ebay account and share your gift with the world, for a small fee of course.

4. Do Online Surveys

Companies love customers. Companies want to hear from their customers. Chances are you are one of their many customers. Now it won't make you enough to quit your day job, but it will make you a few dollars here and there.

5. Sell Your Photos

Do you enjoy photography? Are you good at taking pictures? Why not get paid to take photos? Companies will pay for photos to use as stock photos. It's simple and easy and it's money.

6. Babysit

So this one is a little more catered to the girls, but there's nothing that says guys can't be amazing babysitters! It's pretty good money too!

7. Be In Medical Studies

So I know this sounds odd and even a bit scary but it could be totally worth it! Companies like NASA will even pay you to sleep!

8. Drive For Uber

If you love to drive and don't mind random people telling you where to go and being in your car, then Uber is perfect for you. Depending on the route, you could make a decent amount of money.

9. Create An Online Course

Through websites like Udemy.com, you can teach your own course in just about anything and get paid to do it!

10. Write For Odyssey

So maybe I am a little bit biased, but it really is good work. I get to write and get paid to do so. It's a great company on the rise! It really is a joy and an honor to be able to call myself an Odyssey writer.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
