Most of us have summer jobs by now, I know I do, but sometimes it's not to not only make your usual paycheck but also a little extra spending money too. I have been trying to save money for the future but it's nice to have a little extra spending money during the summer, especially for adventures, bathing suits and ice cream!

1. House Sitting

This is honestly one of the easiest ways to make money and it's so easy. You basically get paid to live, which is necessary anyways.

2. Pet Sitting

Sometimes this goes along with house sitting and it's pretty easy and super cute. If I could get paid to pet and take care of pups everyday I would do it.

3. Open a Savings Account

Okay, so technically this isn't exactly making money, but it's definitely key in saving money. If your paycheck each week is going into a checking account that you are constantly taking money out of you're probably losing money in the long run. Whereas with a savings account, you can have a little spending money in your checking and a lot more in your savings that you aren't spending on that shirt you just have to have...

4. Move Home For a Little While

This also is kind of a cheat way of "making money", but moving home frees up bill paying and money that you might be spending each month on groceries, electricity, and rent.

5. Advertise Your Talents

Most towns have an online community posting site where people post jobs or list their skill sets in case anyone needs them. Maybe you are really good at cleaning houses or make jewelry in your spare time. You can communicate with your community's members and maybe make some extra cash!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
