I can't believe..

I really can't believe that I leave for college in less then a month! Wow. I'm actually looking for ways to generate a little bit of extra money..I've found a few paid survey sites and have been looking into work at home jobs, but none seem very legit to me. I've come across some great resources, but I think the best is word of mouth, does anyone know of any survey/wah (work at home) jobs that pay decently? I joined a bunch recently, but none seem to be giving me the kind of income that I want. :p. lol. It might be a lost cause though. So far I've joined..

Greenfield Online
mysurvey.com
Palm Research
Buzzback.com
surveyspot.com
Lightspeed Panel

I know that's a lot, but I haven't recieved any surveys from Buzzback.com. And mysurvey pays like 10 cents a survey so I don't see it as worth it really. I guess if I didn't give up so easily I could make some money. :) The most successful thing I've done is mturk.com, where you do hits for amazon, but I haven't made much off of that either.

So any advice? lol. I've been looking for a couple of days, but I think my looking for something better is the problem. :) Any recommendations?

If you want to join any of these sites, I would create a seperate email account, because there are A LOT of spam emails. I created a new yahoo account specifically for this.

Wellll...thanks for any advice you can offer. :0

College Countdown and a Review.

Wow, Summer is almost over. I will be living in the dorms in a month. It's crazy to think about how short/long this summer has been. I have went through so many changes and I think I'm finally starting to feel like an adult. I'm still working on getting all of my College Loans and things taken care of. It's sort of scary to think I'm going into debt. I got my first credit card, but I haven't really used it that much, I'm going to pay it off...and then leave it somewhere not in my wallet.

NYC was amazing. It's definitely a place to visit and not a place to live. I mean, a 20 oz bottle of soda was 2.18. It cost a lot just on food and snacks alone. I have a TON of pictures though, I'll post a few and a more detailed blog later..right now I'm kind of busy and haven't got time to chat about all the ups and downs on my blog.

I'm also going to review a forum that I came across, the Health Forum has a slew of different topics to read and relate to. I personally, am not a member, but I found that much of the information is very helpful and easily related to my life. It also features a few forums that are just for fun, making the forum much more friendly and personal. A sub-forum is on recipes which can help anyone who is looking to make their lifestyles a little more healthy. As far as I can tell the forum is also very active, meaning that if you have questions people will be able to help you with the answers.

Comment. :)

Vocaboly.com

There is a new website that features Vocabulary Software, it's www.vocaboly.com. I, personally, recommend that you download the trial version before you buy. This is a perfect way to get your child ready for the SAT's or even just to help them build a stronger and more substantial vocabulary. The software is compatible with Windows 95, 2000, XP, and Vista. This is not something for small children, although the levels of difficulty vary from 0-5, each scaled so that you can use it easily and efficiently. The software also includes games, which can make it easier for your child to learn, especially if they love video games or competition. The Software seems easy to use, there is a side bar that allows you to pick what you want to work on and whatnot. Vocaboly is 39.95 and can be paid for through paypal.

I hope you enjoy this review of Vocaboly.
