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.

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

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.
