Sell your plasma? I did that when I was a penniless college student. It was actually quite relaxing and the place usually had a new release playing on the several tv scattered around.

This. Though I have stopped this year due to my heavy weightlifting...doesn't exactly make me comfortable knowing that the hole in my arm may bust open while benching or curling even when it's 48 hours past donating.

Can blood seriously leak out due to weightlifting? I lift (for toning not mass) and was thinking of donating till I'm done with college to supplement my income, but that would freak me out too much :D

No, what will happen is the blood vessel will leak and cause a very nasty looking large bruise.

I've had it happen to me. If you donate blood, you should probably wait several days before lifting heavy weight with that arm.

I've had that happen to me too. It looks like shit for awhile.

Same here. It looked like a baseball hit me on the inside of my arm.

If you are a writer you could go to rentacoder and bid on some articles. They don't pay very well, but you could probably find enough articles to supplement your income by 80-100 every month.

If you're "young" and decently good looking, there's always marketing work available. You just need to know the right companies - start on CL, the lower paying jobs are usually listed on there. ($10-20/hr)
