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!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
