5 Easy Ways College Students Can Make Extra Money

In This Article:

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.

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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
