A few answers I found for the last post.
I went around asking people what they do or don't do to gain a little extra cash, so I could report back to the readers that were struggling with the same problems. My one girlfriend has had problems with money in the past so she made a list of all the necessary spending and all non necessary spending. She then went through her unnecessary spending habits and cut out five things that she did not really need to spend money on as often as she use to. She had more money for the things that she actually needed when she did not spend a lot of money all the time on things that were not too important. I myself found another way to make money. I pet sit my neighbors animals when they go away, so I decided that was an easy thing to do between work and school to make a little extra cash. So I made business cards and set up an account on a pet setting website to get myself out there more. I used my neighbors as a reference and I have already started getting some phone calls or e-mail from prospective clients. But I am still curious little ways other people save some money.

Main Goal
My goal of this blog is to reach out to college students every where to speak of problems that the normal college student encounters every day. Any topic will do, such as financial issues, scheduling problems with work or school, relationship issues and so on. I would then like to get people to post their advice on how to fix the problem. I am really hoping with this blog that people will use it to speak freely about issues and find answers to their problems. I think that every college student needs a place to go where they can get answers about any questions that they have, and even advice on how other have fixed this problem in the past.
So being the creator I will post a problem of my own and you can choose to give advice on how to fix it or post your own problem. I work as a waitress at a restaurant about 6 to 7 days a week and I also go to school full time. The hours are killing me and I still do not seem to have enough money. I have picked up side jobs from pet sitting to babysitting to cleaning houses but still I am always short on cash. I have normal bills just like any other college student, my car my insurance and others. Books and other expenses for school are a pain and keeping up on my cars maintenance is just rough. Now in the spring I hope to pick up an internship but that means work hours need to be cut back. I am stressing over this situation and was wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom or ways to help.
