Let's face it, a typical 9-5 job is not possible in the midst of juggling classes, clubs, societies, and social life. Still, most college students could use extra cash that can be earned on their own time. Here is a thought bubble of suggestions.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Use your best subject to help out someone else! If anyone seems behind in a class you're doing well in, try your best to help them out at an affordable price.

Freelance Art

How many frat boys will need a tattoo designed? How many clubs will need a new logo, shirt design, or flyer made? If you're artistic and look in the right places, you can find many streams of income while having fun.

Ride Shares

Giphy

Not everyone will have a car on campus. Furthermore, there are some times when parking may not be worth the hassle to events. Driving for a ride share is a job that you can turn off and on at your leisure and still make money.

Sell Tasks

Giphy

Even in college, life is still going on outside of the books. Many people will, at least one point in the semester, be willing to pay for laundry or a dorm cleaning. Also, depending on local events, learning to do other's hair or nails every will can cause a constant stream of income. Birthdays, in addition to parties, football games, and other events and festivals, people will be feeling the need to look their best.

Food Delivery

Giphy

If a group of hungry college kids are studying, which kid will go get everyone food? No one wants to miss out on the studying for a while, or even just fun conversation, to go supply everyone else food in the middle of an impromptu meeting. Food delivery will always be needed. Furthermore, a car is not always necessary for this service. Many deliver on bikes, scooters, and even skateboards. Bringing a meal on any wheels is a service most in college will be willing to pay for.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
