If you are a student in any kind during the summer, you have only one thing in mind. Having fun in the summer sun. Sure, summer is a time for no school and less stress, but once we get older, we come to realize that there isn't much you can do without money. The mullah. The green leaves. You get the picture, right? Well, something we could do is get a job, but how long does that take? A few days to weeks really. Even to just get an interview. Jobs can be hard to come around, but that doesn't mean you are out of luck. There are other ways to earn money during the summer. Like these:

1. Selling items at a garage sale or pawn shop.

There will be a time where we outgrow our things. Shirts, pants, toys, books, and more are easily disregarded as we age. Instead of leaving all of those in your closet, why not host a garage sale or pawn it off to another shop? There is a sure fire way that you will get money for your items in one way or another.

Speaking on which, if you have textbooks that you are not going to use anymore and they are just sitting in your room, sell them. They could be put to better use rather than just sitting in your room collecting dust.

2. Create something.

This category can pertain to a lot of things. You could create, pastries, clothes, jewelry, crafts, and much more. Honestly, this is my favorite category. There is so much to do in the creative world. You could write a blog and create revenue. You could sell your food at a farmer's market. The possibilities are endless.

3. Put on an act.

This idea is not seen as often, but you know those people who perform on the streets? Yup. Those guys. Very cool right? Maybe try performing at a local farmer's market or something? Somewhere where you could earn money by showing off your talents.

4. Tutor.

Another idea is being a tutor. Sure, school is out for the summer, but there is still summer school, colleges, and getting ready for the next year, to be done. It's not too late to teach a person something that could help them in the next grade or help them figure out a problem they had been stuck on for a while now. Tutoring is a great source of money while staying up to date with the latest knowledge.

5. Complete an online survey.

Sometimes businesses will offer a free survey to take at home in order to win a lot of money. There's no pain in trying, right?

6. Blog.

This one takes a lot of time and effort. It requires a long time in order to produce revenue, but if you have the patience and time for it. Go right ahead!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
