Side hustles for college students deliver spending money while still offering the flexibility
that a full class schedule requires.
Take class notes
One side hustle for college students involves taking notes in class and selling them.
Three sites — StudySoup, NexusNotes and Stuvia — offer attractive pay for uploading and
selling class notes to other students at your university. Each has its own pay formula. But you
usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each
set of notes that sell. Students say they can earn $250 to $500 per class, per semester. Because this
job requires taking great class notes, you’re likely to do better in school.
Become a tutor
Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance
learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school
algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to
sign up and tutor online or in person.
Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music,
LessonFace.
Be a survey taker
The best option in this category is a site called Prolific, which helps researchers find pre-
screened survey participants. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer
qualifying questions — age, income, family status, etc. — in advance. Then, the site sends you
only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. You’re given an estimate of the time it will require
to take each survey and how much it pays. You decide whether it’s worth your time.
Charge scooters
Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters and bikes that can be unlocked and
ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies,
such as Bird and Lime, enlist “chargers” and “juicers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and
return them to a designated area early the next morning.
If you have a late class, there are two benefits to signing up to charge. First, you earn between
$5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home forfree, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm.

B.job options for college students
C.after-class activities for students
D.ways to meet a full class schedule

They’re always at our side, whether we’re taking them to lunch meetings for a quick presentation
or working in the living room while watching the kids during playtime. That leaves one problem:
they can get dirty. That’s where this odd-but-useful product from Amazon comes in: the OXO
Good Grips Sweep & Swipe.
This cool little cleaning tool can help you swipe, dust, and sweep dirt from your everyday
laptop. For just $11, it offers dual-action cleaning options to help keep your laptop clean. The
OXO Good Grips Sweep & Swipe is an easy to use, double-sided tool that fits in your hand.

laptop’s screen, keyboard and track pad. The other side is a soft brush to help you sweep away
dust, dirt and any other things that might be hiding in the corner of your computer.
The brush is retractable, with a storage cover to keep both ends of your cleaner protected
when you aren’t using it. That will also make sure it stays as neat as possible when it’s not used.

Tech-Enabled Yoga Pants — The Wearable X
The Yoga pants Wearable X lets you practice yoga on your own terms. Our technology with
integrated sensors and vibration (震动) is good for your practice at home and wherever you go.
The pulse (脉冲) clips into the pants behind the left knee and contains a 370 mAh battery to
ensure you don’t run out of power during your practice.
The Wearable X uses Bluetooth Low Energy to connect to your smartphone. To activate the
pulse, double tap the surface of the pants until you see a blinking white light.Our new app lets you choose between different exercises according to your preferences on
your phone. The audio instructions are paired with gentle vibrations to give you clues where to
focus and let you know if you have made it into the pose at the end of each pose. Once you have
set your vibrations strength, you can place the phone next to your yoga mat during your session.
To wash, either put on hand wash or a gentle cycle after removing the pulse. The Wearable X
allows tumble dry (甩干). Make sure it is dry before clipping the pulse back on.
“These pants have a great shape and are super stylish. It’s like having the hands-on approach
of a yoga instructor with the ability to do high-quality yoga anywhere. The pulse can easily
connect to my smartphone, which is super cool! These pants are a must when I hit the mat.”

Getting Around on CampusThanks to the sunny weather and wide campus, bicycles are one of the most popular means
of transportation at Stanford. There are over 12,000 bikes on campus, as well as the full service
Campus Bike Shop at Tresidder Union.
To make it safer for walkers and cyclists, the University has designed the center of campus a
pedestrian zone; four wheeled vehicles are not allowed. You can ride your bike anywhere on the
Stanford campus except in the arcades(拱廊) around the Main Quad, which are reserved for foot
traffic.
Some Things to Keep in Mind.
·Register your bike. Whether you purchase a bicycle at Stanford or bring one from home, you
must register it with Santa Clara County. You can register your bike:
1. During registration events in White Plaza during New Student Orientation;
2. Online at Parking and Transportation Services (P&TS) website.
·Buy a bicycle lock such as a Kryptonite U-lock and a six-foot cable or chain. Bicycle theft is
the most common campus crime, and most bikes that are stolen are locked with easy-to-cut cables.
If you lose your bike lock key, call the Campus Bike Shop at (650) 723-9300 to have the lock cut
for a fee.
·Park your bike in designed spaces. Be sure not to block a pathway, building entrance, or
ramp intended for use by people with disabilities. The Department of Public Safety may remove
and impound improperly parked bikes.
·Use a bike light if you are riding at night, and you are advised to wear a helmet at all times.
P&TS gives out free bike lights during registration events; the Campus Bike Shop sells
highquality helmets for $20.
·Follow traffic laws. Bicyclists are expected to obey the same traffic laws as automobile
drivers and may be ticketed if they do not. To avoid a ticket, stop at all stop signs, ride in the
direction of traffic, and use the same turn lanes as other drivers. The Bicycling Information section
of the P&TS website has additional information on biking at Stanford, including bicycle route
maps. You also can learn more about Bicycle Rules and Safety at the California Department of
Motor Vehicles website.
