beta:
a few ideas from my own college days --
- donate sperm
- give plasma for pay (most places still pay for plasma; blood you donate, but plasma gets the dollahs)
- contests? any $50 for the best karaoke singer or contests like that near you?
- put up signs offering to type up term papers (you'd be surprised)
- if you have a campus job place, go there and see if they have anything; a lot of folks want to hire college students to help them move, paint, do odd jobs, etc.
- put up a flyer in groceries and laundromats advertising what kind of work you can do -- yard work, help moving, tutoring, whatEVER you can do.
- ditto the above, only advertise to be a "gopher" for the elderly and shut in: note that you could run errands, do grocery shopping, take them to doctor appointments, etc.
and if nothing's going on with all that, consider:
- pawn shops: esp. if you need the money now but will make some or have some later on. you can hock your stuff and get it out later.
- payday loans: if you have a job, you can get an advance. thing is the interest is through the roof, but it's an option if you just gottahavethemoneyNOW!
- student loan: some schools will give their students short-term loans. usually this is emergency based only (your car broke and you commute, etc.), but some schools will loan like up to $300-500 w/o any questions. again, though, ya gotta pay it back.
- college "garage" sale: get rid of some of the crap you don't need and make some $, assuming you have tag sale type stuff to get rid of.
- hit up friends and family members. ask for loans or, better yet, ask them for $ in exchange for some service you can do later (this summer) -- housework, babysitting IOU, whatever
- if you can find a place willing to let you use their hose, grab a bucket and sponges and do a weekend carwash "for the cause." what cause? 'CAUSE YOU NEED DA MONEY!
good luck, bro. honestly, if i had to give i'd just send it to ya. :/
