We all know that the number one struggle of being a student is never having any money! Being on a student budget can be tough when it comes to wanting to plan exciting things for the holidays so if you're after a bit of extra dollar to see you over the next few months then I've come up with 8 ways to get it!
1. Set up an eBay account
Got loads of old clothes, consoles, DVDs and other general stuff that you tend to leave at home rather than bothering to bring to college with you? Why not sell it? It's quick, simple and you can get the money almost immediately!2. Rent out your stuff
If you have cameras or other electrical bits that you don't use very much but don't want to throw out either then you could rent it out and add a bit more to your bank account.3. Get a cashback credit card
This one requires a bit more patience but if you invest in a cashback credit card then you'll get money back on every single thing you buy! Obviously you have to make sure it's all paid off on time and you have to be responsible with it but it's a pretty smart idea.4. Become a mystery shopper
For any shopaholics like me then this one is probably right up your street - you could get paid to shop! Sign up to be a mystery shopper and you could get paid to go to your favourite places. You just have to rate your shopping experience when you go.5. Create an Etsy shop
Are you a bit crafty? If so you could set up an Etsy shop and sell the things you make on there for some extra money. 6. Sign up for UNiDAYS Rewards
It could not be simpler - if you sign up for UNiDAYS rewards then you could receive credit towards gift vouchers for every single person who you refer! Check out how here.7. Be an extra on TV
This one might be a bit harder to get into but if you've ever fancied seeing yourself stood behind someone on Grey's Anatomy then you could be paid to be an extra on TV!8. Get a part-time job
This one is probably the least creative but it's the way that most of us go; not only will a job provide you with money for the summer but it will also give you valuable experience and skills for after you've left uni and are looking to kick start your career!
