Money

Is anyone else in a total financial crisis right now? No? just me? well, if you ever are or were, I feel you bro. Here are some ways to make a bit of cash as a teenager
1. Buy underpriced used books. Outfit a phone or PDA (personal data assistant) with a scanner, scan the ISBN numbers of books at used bookstores and thrift shops, and compare the asking prices with what the books are selling for on a site like Amazon. Whenever you get a good hit (which won’t be often but, since the process is fast, won’t take long, either), buy the book and resell it online. Be discrete about this, as the store managers probably won’t like what you’re doing.
2. Make and sell crafts. If you are even a little bit crafty, consider selling your goods on a site like Etsy. Though you can make more money on intricate projects (ex. an exquisitely woodburned gourd), even labor-light projects can bring in good money if you’re willing to produce them in high quantities.
3. Watch and/or walk your neighbors’ pets. Taking a few pooches to the park every week is a good way to have fun, get some exercise, and meet new people, all while making a little cash on the side.

4. Find odd jobs online. Check out Craigslist, Fiverr, or Zaarly for interesting or unusual gigs that come up.
5. Landscape. Look for brush-clearing, mowing, or woodcutting jobs, some of which may land you regular customers. This can save you money at the same time: if you are hired to pick up pine needles, use them to mulch your roses, which will appreciate their acidity and smothering effect on weeds; if you are hired to cut and clear a fallen tree, use it to heat your house that winter.

CANADA!

For anyone who doesn't know, I am a proud Canadian! I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which I find amazing. What makes Canada great? Contrary to many beliefs, there are famous Canadians. Drake, for one, grew up three subway stops away from me. Ever heard YOLO, or the new craze, "started from the bottom"? Yep, Canadian. Ryan Reynolds, Seth Rogan, Russel Peters, Christopher Plummer, Catherine O'Hara, Sandra Oh, Rachel McAdams, Rick Mercer, Shay Mitchell, Cory Monteith, Mike Myers, Avril Lavigne, Alexander Ludwig, Ryan Gosling, Megan Follows, Michael J. Fox, Victoria Duffield, Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, Pamela Anderson, Paul Gross, Eugene Levy, The Kids in the Hall, Wayne Gretzky, Donald Sutherland, John Candy, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, The Tragically Hip, plus 53% of the NHL, including Sidney Crosby. We have the steepest drop on a roller coaster in North America. Maple Syrup is our staple food as well as Tim Hortons and Beaver Tails. Out west we have superb skiing, and though it gets a little chilly in winter, we do not sleep in igloos, nor do we ride polar bears.

Eos Lip Balm

The thing I don't understand about this lip balm, is why does it gotta be so damn expensive?! I mean, I'm in the store, and there's all the little lip balms, and there's Chapstick, for $1.99, and Burt's Bees for $3.00, and then there's damn Eos, for $6.99?? Like, what makes you so special? Why am I paying close to $10 dollars for you? Is it because you are a circle? No. I will take my perfectly fine Chapstick and my lips will not suffer. A-Thank-you-very-much. And why do they make those things circles anyway?
