3 Side Jobs Every College Student Should Have At Least ONCE

Let's be real, we're all broke. A little extra cash here and there could really help us out.

College is expensive. We have to pay for rent, food, toiletries, going out, and other miscellaneous expenses. There are a few easy things you can become a part of to make a little extra cash.

1. Poshmark / Depop

We all know we own too many clothes. More importantly, too many clothes we don't wear anymore. So, to put those extra clothes to use, you can sell them on online marketplaces! You'd be surprised how much money you can make from the nice things in your closet. When I went through my closet, I found so many things I forgot I had. Make a rule: if you haven't worn it in the last year- sell it!

2. Babysitting / Dog sitting / House Sitting

A lot of the times, parents want college students to come over while the kids are already sleeping and make sure they are safe. So, you're basically getting paid to sit and watch TV or do your homework. It really doesn't get better than that. You can find families on Care.com who are nearby where you can walk, take the bus, Uber, or drive if you have a car. On the app, you can click on which type of care you would like to provide- you can house sit, run errands, do laundry, etc. and you get paid cash!

3. Taking online surveys

If you google, "get paid for online survey," you'll find a lot of results. This job is the easiest and requires little effort. You seriously get paid to tell a brand how you feel about their company. There are many options like this on the internet. A company wants to know what the public thinks of their company.

It's easier than it seems! Go out and make a little extra cash!

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
