4 Ways to Make Quick Cash Before Spring Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

1. Sell items you never use!

There are many apps for your phone that make selling quick and easy. All you have to do is take a snapshot of the item on your phone, post it, and wait for all the comments with offers to come in.  It can be anything from a shirt you don’t wear anymore to a shirt you have never worn before as well as makeup, old electronics, shoes, etc.

2. Charge for rides!

It’s not very far to take someone who needs a ride around campus.  You could really rack up some cash being the designated driver one night.  But you have to be careful! Only drive people you know.

3. Get a job or pick up extra hours.

Make that money. Spring break is soon, but there are plenty of places currently hiring.  If you have a job, get those extra hours for some extra cash! Start saving, budget, you can do this!

 4. Don’t be afraid to ask your parents for some help!

Tell them about what your spring break plans and ask for some help! Don’t take the money and run of course, but appreciate the help and help them out as well by maybe cleaning around the house, the yard, and staying in contact with them more often.

Before you know it, your Spring Break will look like this.

Hi, my name is Vanessa and I am a Fashion Merchandising major. I also am a Fourth Degree Black Belt martial artist with aspirations of becoming an actress/model! I joined HerCampus because I love absolutley everything about the website such as beauty, fitness, lifestyle, relationship advice, and keeping up with celebrities! I enjoy reading all these articles and I hope you enjoy reading mine.
  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
