A lot of these options don't necessarily require prior job experience which is great for students who are trying to build their resumes but no where will hire them due to "lack of experience."

On Campus

Giphy

On campus jobs can be annoying sometimes but also extremely convenient. A lot of my friends lived in the dorms with me last year and worked so close to the dorms that getting to work was only a 5 minute walk. The nice thing about on campus is that they will work with your student schedule every semester and you're already living or going to campus most days for classes so why not make money there too?

Nanny

Giphy

Not only would it be good money, but you could also live with the family. It would save you money on living expenses and could be very beneficial. Another great thing about this is that with some nanny jobs you can become part of the family where you'll get treated like another family member. It really depends on the person and the family that the person gets.

Tutor

Giphy

I have a friend that tutors people in a foreign language and it's a fun and fairly easy side job for her! The downside to this job is that it isn't secure hours or income because if you don't have people to tutor then you don't get money. The nice thing is that this is a great side job that you can do whenever you have time.

Retail

Giphy

Hear me out, retail doesn't suck as much as everyone says. I have a lot of friends that actually love their retail job and the benefits they get from it. I feel as though most people who say they hate retail probably just had terrible bosses. Of course you're going to get customers that will have attitudes with you but you'll also have a lot of discounts and not all customers are bad. So, if you plan on going into retail try to find a place that you would also like to shop at.

Childcare

Giphy

All of my jobs as an undergrad student have dealt with childcare and let me tell you I've loved them all. Sure there were a lot of days I wanted to quit but the days I didn't want to outweighed the bad days. Dealing with kids helps you with real life because if you have enough patience to deal with screaming kiddos, you can handle anyone. These jobs may not always pay the best but they usually will help to work around your schedule depending on where you go.

Food Services

Giphy

I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about this but it is a fairly easy job to have while in college. The benefits of a job like this is that most places will most likely either give you discounts on food or provide you with one meal a day. It really depends on where you work but most places will. The bad side of this is that food services can be a lot of tedious work and sometimes you get really mean customers.

Dog Walker

Giphy

This one is actually not too hard to apply for. There are many websites like Rover that would hire you easily. You build your connections by walking a lot of dogs and having good connections with the dog owners. I personally use Rover a lot when I need to leave my dog at a daycare or need him to be taken care of for long periods of time.

Uber Eats

Giphy

This can be a good or bad job. It's a good job in the sense that you can do it at any time that you feel up to it or have free time. It can also be a bad job in the sense that you aren't required to work a certain amount of hours or scheduled so if you aren't self motivated this isn't the job for you.

Receptionist

Giphy

This would be a really beneficial job for anyone that wants to go into Hospitality or a related field. It's also a cool job because you get to answer phone calls and sit at a desk the majority of the time. You'd basically be living the dream that any Office fan would die for.

Finding a job in college can be hard but here are some options that may help you figure out what you would want to do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. 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. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
