5 Easy Ways College Students Can Make Extra Money

College drains us all of two things: time and money. Unfortunately, you need one to have the other. So if you don't have time for a job (or just need a little extra for groceries) there are solutions for you!

1. Sell clothes at resale shops.

This is a really easy way I make quick cash. Normally only a few of my clothes are accepted, but it’s $20 more in my pocket.

2. Sign up to tutor.

If you’re talented in any area of school I’d recommend signing up to be a tutor at your college. If there isn’t an opening (or you don’t feel comfortable tutoring college-level) you can tutor high-school or middle-school students!

3. Drive for companies.

A.L.

Uber, Lyft, and other driving apps need more drivers and deliverers. It’s relatively simple and a great way to earn a little extra cash. Plus you can pick and choose how much or how little you want to work!

4. Start a seasonal/temporary job.

Matt Petrucci

There are many options if you need money but don’t want a permanent job. Working for the Census is a good way to make money but choose your own hours.

5. Start babysitting.

Robert Collins

Even if you don’t know anyone you can still babysit! You can sign up online, and families can discover you from there.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
