10 Odd Ways to Earn/Save Easy Money for College

10 Odd Ways to Earn/Save Easy Money for College

     So we've all been in a situation where money is tight. Where budgeting is a problem and/or the payments are too high, such as college tuition. Plus, if you don't have a lot of money, and the part-time job doesn't pay the bills, and you're desperate, but not desperate enough to sell your innocence, there are still some methods to save you money and even earn some in college. Also, I would like to point out that this information is strictly for people in desperate need and that some of these methods can be applied to real life but I don't recommend them to people who are well off in terms of wealth because it's time-consuming and unfair to other people who really need the resources. Therefore, use your morals and common sense. Nonetheless, let's get on with the examples.

1. The first money saving aspect that I would like to recommend is couponing because it can not only help save on groceries but other products as well. If you know exactly what you need to buy for the week and a coupon book in hand it, it's easy to clip them and if you don't clip coupons excessively then you won't have unused and expired coupons. Just clip what you need. Plus, I've heard that some people go to paper recycling centers and dig through a dumpster of papers there, but I don't condone such practice.
   
2. Donate blood and genetic material. If you're not afraid of needles and need extra income, then donating plasma (a.k.a. blood) will be a great opportunity for you. The donations at certain clinics pay their patients 30-50 dollars and that adds up to 3,600$-6,000$ if you go 10 times a month, which is the recommended maximum of trips. Not including sick days. Plus, if you are male you can donate your sperm to a bank for around 50 dollars and the maximum times that you would be allowed to donate sperm is three times a month at most. That's 12,000 dollars at most and 7,200 at least if you're a guy, but there's also an option for females to donate their eggs for 8,000-10,000 if you're willing to undergo the risks.
   
3. The next way for hungry college students save money is to eat at the soup kitchen. Hey, if you're in thousands of dollars in debt, then why not partake in what the community has to offer. When I volunteered at the soup kitchen, I was appalled at how much food goes to waste even in the soup kitchen. There was almost always some food left over for the farmers of the area to come in and grab what's left. Therefore, why not feed some students that will further the economy in the future and most likely return the favor to the soup kitchen in the future? 
   
4. Another way to save money is to be included in church events. You don't even have to be Christian to partake in those events but you must be aware that partaking in those events does take away from the community. However, if you're the community that needs help then go ask for it.
   
5. Plus, if you have to eat at school because it's required for first-year students then bring a plastic bag with you to the school buffet if it's offered at your school. Then proceed to get as much cereal as you can and then bail.
   
6. If you have a job at this point of your life then you can apply for food stamps.
   
7. Get married. If you want to get free college but your parents make too much and you're not 21 then get hitched with your best friend or your roommate. You can both consent to divorce when college ends and you also get tax breaks as a bonus.
   
8. Go to a community school. It's easier to apply and cheaper to attend a community school and then transfer credits to your school of choice. Of course taking community college credits can run the risk of them not transferring so plan out your courses with the help of a school counselor.
   
9. Plus, if you manage to get along with your professors then visit Professor conferences. They could provide you with food and an intellectual discussion. Just mind the fact that it might be boring.
   
   
   
10. Lastly, you can advertise yourself. By starting your own company by advertising on t-shirts, baseball caps, your skin, and even your car, you can wrap your car with advertisements. It might take some time to find these resources online or start them yourself but once the business is established, it gets easier to run.

     That's it, folks, hopefully, some of these would help some of you to save money for college because I know that it's really expensive to go. Especially when the school is private and you don't have a lot of scholarships and internships. Nevertheless, did anyone learn anything? Does anything here offend anyone? It's not my intent to offend anyone but in today's world, it's easy to offend the masses. Anyhow, I hoped this helped.
