Living tips for Students Short on Time/Money

Disclaimer: this is not for people who are trying to experience the finer things in life. These are things that I do in order to squeeze in extra studying.

1. Cook pasta using cold water. Just dump pasta into the pot, fill the water to cover the pasta, and turn on the heat. No draining required, and any extra water can be incorporated into the sauce. You can cook vegetables directly into the pasta too. I would not recommend adding meat this way, unless it's sausage. This saves 20 minutes of prep time and clean up time, because I'm not waiting for the pasta to boil, and I'm not using multiple pots and pans for a single meal.

2. Cut your own hair (for girls). I don't know how it works for guys, but if you are a girl and you want medium to long hair, there are multiple ways of cutting your own hair and I can vouch that the ponytail method and the pigtail method both work on wavy/straight-ish hair.

Jobs that feel like retirement to me

• Food Eating Video Blogger
• People literally pay to watch you eat food. Come on. 
• Doable? If you have something interesting about the way you eat, either through diet, or cooking, or quantity, this is a thing
• Poker Player
• You play poker. You win. 
• People have payed for college with this. They have bought bungalows in Thailand for this. There is an entire subset of the population that is just quietly playing poker and living the nice life. 
• Food Tour Guide
• Get paid to talk about food and why the food is awesome. 
• It's nice. Some locations pay more than others. Some foods taste better than others. The only problem would be if you were stuck repeating the same restaurants, day in and day out. That might get tiring. 
• Photo Tour Guide
• This was an obscure job that an acquaintance had. He was originally a photographer for the National Geographic, but when that job ended he had this small clientele of people who would hire him to help guide them to good photograph locations around the world. 
• Oh, if only I liked the outdoors that much. 
• Santa Letter Response Writer
• I can't find the name of the person who did this originally, but he basically sells customized Santa Responses to parents for about $10 each. 
• He's not retired, but he basically works one month a year. 
• Food/Travel Blogger
• There are couples who travel the world together. It's nice. 
• I think it feels more like a job if you're traveling solo. Lots more to take care of by yourself.
• Anything freelance that doesn't require more than ten hours a week
• tutoring, teaching, gardening, really, anything that could be construed as a hobby but I'm getting paid decent money for, I would probably be down to do
