Summer is now in full swing and you may be finding out that you're running low on cash. Here are some ways for you to build that bank account back up.

1. A job

Of course this is the most obvious one. This would be the most consistent way for you to make some extra cash over break.

2. Sell your clothes

I'm sure if we all cleaned out our closets we'd find some items in there that we've never worn or haven't worn in forever. Why not make a little money off of it.

3. Tutor

Yes, school may be out but there are those kids and families that want to get ready for the next school year.

4. Babysit/nanny

There's always endless opportunities to watch some kids whether they're in your family or some neighborhood kids. This is probably one of the most easiest ways to make some cash.

5. Doing some odd-ball jobs/chores

I'm sure your mom or dad or someone you know has something that they've been meaning to get around to doing. Here's your perfect opportunity.

6. Walk dogs

There are multiple apps out there like Wag! where you can make a little extra money by simply spending time with some cute pups.

7. Pet-sitting/House-sitting

Along the lines of walking dogs, summer is of course the most popular time for people to be going on vacation, meaning they'll need someone to be around to keep things up in their house.

8. Use what you're interested in

Like taking photos? Good at writing? There are multiple ways you can use your hobbies or interests to make some money. Start taking peoples senior photos. Start editing people's papers or work they have to do.

9. Rent out items

Find yourself not really using that bike, camera, or even your car as often as you thought? Someone out there probably will be in need of it.

10. Drive for Uber/Lyft or Uber Eats/Postmates

People are going to need rides and you can help. Ride-share companies are a great way to make money on your own time.

Get creative! Make bracelets! Sell prints of photos you took! Summertime is the perfect time for you to be making some money while enjoying your break.

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.

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.
