How to earn some extra money

It’s that time of the month again.. When you’re searching in all your pockets and even the couch but you just can’t find, you don’t have it anymore. Yes, you’re broke again! When you’re a student, this happens more than just once but it doesn’t have to happen. There are a few ways to earn some money and we’re going to tell you how.

                                            

Tip 1: Of course you want to hang out with friends and you’re busy with school. But there are times when you’re just doing nothing. So why not work? You earn money and you can have fun at the same time. If you want to earn some money in a fun way, you can work in a café/bar or maybe you like to sell on the street. These are fun ways to earn some money so you don’t have to broke anymore every month.

Tip 2: When you were a kid, I bet you went to your parents and said; ‘If I do that, you’ll pay me’. And so you did it and received maybe one or two euro’s. It may sounds weird but you can still do this when you’re a student for larger payments. Maybe you can clean the whole house, or wash your dad’s car. It’s like a job for a day.

Tip 3: Only use this tip when you feel like you’re starving because you’re broke. You can always borrow some money. But always remember before you’re going to borrow some; you have to pay it back!

With these tips you don’t have to be broke anymore. So go find a job (for a day) and pay those bills. You’re strong, you can do it!

Bye Bye Bad hair day

Do you remember your first bad hair day? You woke up, took a warm shower, looked in the mirror en boom, there it was! Your first bad hair day. You were trying everything to fix it and look good but nothing worked. So like most people, you just gave op un it… Well, that’s no longer going to happen anymore because we have the best tips to get rid of that horrible bad hair day!

                           

Tip 1: Most people shower every at least once, that’s healthy. But if you don’t want to have bad hair days anymore, don’t put shampoo in your hair every time you take a shower. Every two days is better for your hair, it makes your hair look more healthy what means: BYE BYE BAD HAIR DAY!

Tip 2: If the time has come in those two days to wash your hair, use a shampoo which is from a professional brand. Most of the time they are way better for your hair. Another shampoo-tip is; use shampoo for curls. The oil in these shampoos makes your hair look stronger.

Tip 3: It may sounds weird to you guys, but use baby-powder. After you washed your hair and it’s almost dry, put a little baby-powder in it. Don’t use too much because then your hair will be all white and we guess that’s not exactly what you want. The baby-powder brings some extra volume, so again; say goodbye to the bad hair day, use baby-powder.

Tip 4: Last but not least; if you’re in the shower, make sure that the water is below 35 degrees if you want to wash your hair. If the water is too hot, you’ll dry hair and it will break faster.

Now you don’t have to worry anymore about waking up with the weirdest hairstyles. Use our tips and let us know which tip works the best for you!

Shop till you drop!!

Well hello ladies and gentlemen!

This post is all about shopping. Sounds good doesn’t it?! Well I’m going to make it even better, I’m going to give you some amazing tips about shopping as cheap as possible! Girls, prepare yourself!!…. as for the boys this also might be interesting for you!! So take a quick peek, and find out how we like to shop, look sharp, and not having to spend all our money on clothes and assecoires!

Tip 1. We love love love Primark! If you haven’t been there before or even heard of Primark, than we must say; Shame on you!!! This is an amazing store and has every clothing style you can think of, every shoe model, and from any kind of lingerie to decorations for your house or room, to all kinds of assecoires you can think of. For every you there is something you can find, that you will defenitely LOVE! Believe us.. if you haven’t been there yet.. drop everything you’re doing and get to the damn nearest Primark as fast as you can!! My poor thing.. you’ve been missing a lot of happiness and joy in your life!

Tip 2. We also have to mention H&M it’s very well known among young people. And they have a lot of good stuff, from clothes to shoes, to bags, scarfs, lingerie, and other assecoires! You name it! They usually got what you are looking for, and it’s not very expensive. What I like best about H&M is, that they have basic clothes, which is a must in every girls and boys closet! But for the ones who want to stand out a little with their own style, you are at the right place!

Tip 3. If you don’t have the time to go to the city and walk in and out every store, than you could consider shopping online! This comes in very handy if you have an important date in 48 hours, or a big event, a wedding with in a couple of days, you name it! You can find everything online! Almost every store has an online webshop. Take advantage of that, and if you’re lucky you will end up on a webshop that has put a lot of clothing and assecoires for sale! The two stores mentioned above also have their own webshop, and if you want to take a look at something else for a change, you could take a look at boohoo.com or zalando.com etc.

We hope you will use these tips, and will look absolutely fabulous all day every day!!!

Let’s talk!

Interview à Ties Lotringen

Ties is a communication student at the HAN Nijmegen. He’s 21 years old and moved out a half year ago. We’ve asked him about his experiences of living on his own.

 

                                     

How long do you live on your own?

I live on my own for almost half a year now.

What do like the most about living on your own?

I live in a house with 8 other students. 5 of them are not home much, but the other 3 guys are very nice. I like hanging out with them. I think that is the best part of living on my own, the guys/friends I live with.

What do you like less about living on your own?

After diner, we have to do the dishes. I just really don’t like to do the dishes!

Do you mind cooking for yourself?

No I don’t. I like cooking, so for me it’s a fun thing to do. Also I don’t mind cooking for myself because I like to choose for myself what I’m going to eat. If somebody else is going to cook for me, they choose what I’m going to eat.

What do like to cook for yourself after a long day of school?

Something that won’t take long to cook. After a long day of school I don’t want to stand in the kitchen too long, so something quick is the best thing for me to make like spaghetti carbonada.

Do you have any tips for other students?

Try to get your groceries at the cheapest place you can find, like a little shop. Most Chinese or Turkish shops are very cheap.

Have fun tonight, EAT EAT EAT

Being a student is simple; you’re young, you go to school and you love to party. That last thing, party, doesn’t come alone. If you’re going out, you know you’re going to drink that night. Some people can drink until they’re drunk, and stop from that moment on. But most students keep drinking, and sometimes that doesn’t end that pretty. Hanging with your head in the toilet, or maybe you have to throw up when you’re standing at the bar. Those awkward situations are over from now on. We have the best tips for you. Below you will find a list with a few things you can eat before you start drinking and we can guarantee you’ll have a fun night without throwing up!
                                         

What to eat?

      Two pieces of bread with peanut butter

      Two bananas

      Lasagne/spaghetti

      Fast-food

      A little glass filled with olive oil

What NOT to eat?

v  Chinese food

v  Soup

v  Chocolate

v  Food with garlic, no one wants to smell like that

v  Low-fat recipes

Have fun tonight and enjoy your meal!

Cheap and Tasty!

Pff being a student is hard enough. Getting up early, going to school, going home and doing homework. And of course there is the problem we all recognize, you’re broke.. But students are human too, so we have to eat. Sometimes you really don’t feel like cooking or maybe you don’t have enough money to buy expensive food. It’s all possible and it feels horrible. So we’ve got some tips to help you with these helpless days.

                                                                                 

• Tip 1; when you come home after a long day of school and you’re tired and don’t want to cook anymore, just throw a pizza in the oven. It’s not the most healthy thing to do more than once a week so try to eat healthy the rest of the week. Otherwise those freshman fifteen will be there sooner than you even realized. Don’t forget to have a pizza in the freezer at all time, otherwise you still have to cook on those days.
• Tip 2; If you’re broke (like many students at the end of the month), don’t stress. You can make very simple meals with a few standard ingredients. A pizza, for instance, is not very expensive. So isn’t a bowl stuffed with delicious soup. Don’t worry you broke student, with this tip you can eat almost for free.
• Tip 3; hip hip hurray for the freezer! The freezer is your best friend when you’re out of money. If you’re cooking, it’s okay to have way too much. Just put it in the freezer and when you’re broke you can run to the freezer and grab the first thing you see. Put it in the microwave, wait a few minutes, and you can eat again.
• Tip 4; If you’re living with more students, there always will be a friend or roommate who wants to cook for you. Don’t take advantage of them and cook for them too. One day they will cook for you and the next, you will cook for them. With this tip you can help each other in times of need.

Now don’t worry anymore about diner every day, there are many ways to eat something. Even when you’re broke or when you don’t feel like cooking.

For the females

Girls, the most busy people in the world. In the morning we have to get up earlier than the guys, just because they expect us to look nice every day. Girls have to be a good friend every day the whole day long, they have to comfort other friends who’re going through a rough time. I can name a lot of things that girls have to do every day, and that is making us tired! So today you can read some tips just for girls how you can pamper yourself.

                                                                                                    

• Tip 1; just make some time for yourself. No other people around you, just you. Lying in bed with some candles and a little music. It may look so simple, but it’s harder than you think. Try to think about the good things in life, the people who you love and not about what you’re going to do when you get up. Breathe slow and you’ll see that you will settle slowly.
• Tip 2; some ‘Me-Time’ is super relaxing, but some time with your girlfriends will make you feel comfortable again. Tips for a nice comfortable evening with your girlfriends; lying on the couch with too many pillows and watching a chick-flic. With a big glass of wine talking about the girls you don’t like at school or work. Doing stuff like that with your closest girlfriends makes you so much better.
• Tip 3; shopping!!!!! Every girl likes to shop. If you want to have a beautiful day without any stress, go shopping with your friends. Buying new clothes, shoes and accessories makes almost every girl happy. You can create a whole new look for yourself. Of course it’s also fun to try on really ugly clothes with your friends and just have a good laugh with each other.
• Tip 4; a Spa-Day à relaxing and healthy. Do I have to say more?! Go to the site of the nearest spa and book a day you want to go. You will come home feeling so relaxed and so pure.

So girls, you know you deserve it! Feel free to use these tips and feel good again. You’re really worth it!

I’ve got a hangover……!!

You love to party and have lots and lots of drinks!  What we don’t like is thinking about the next day.. you go to bed at night not knowing how you’re going to feel the next morning. Waking up with a dry mouth and having a headache, is the first thing that happens when you open your eyes. For the most of us it ends there, but those are the lucky ones. Some people actually get sick, when they had a few drinks more than they should have! We all had that moment and do you remember what you would say after a night like that? : ” I’m never ever going to drink again…!” Well.. we all know that that’s a lie! So to help you out, we’ve got some tips for  you! This way you won’t have to feel hungover anymore. Oh no, those days are going to be OVER! 

• Tip 1. Before you go out and start drinking, EAT! Eat as much as you can, that way you wont get drunk soon. When you’re feeling a little tipsy, you know that’s where you need to start drinking non-alcoholic drinks! This prevents you from having a major hangover! 
• Tip 2. If  you know you’re one of those who’s not going to stop after getting a little tipsy (which most of us are), make sure you eat something before you go to sleep! This also helps a lot! You can eat anything, but if you want the full effect, eat fastfood!! 
• Tip 3. When you get home, make sure that there’s a 1,5L bottle of water and two aspirines waiting for you on the table! Take the pills and try to drink the whole bottle of water, before you go to sleep! We all learned in school, that we get a headache because alcohol dries out your brains (and ofcourse other things..). So it’s safe to say that water (at least 1L ), will protect you from having a major headache! The two aspirines will help you feeling a lot better, when you wake up the next morning!

Use these tips  and feel free to drink, whenever you want and how much you want without feeling terrible the next day! We hope you will try out some of our tips and please let us know if it works for you! 

 

Hurry hurry, I overslept!

The night was great, lots of drinks and such a good time. The only thing is that your bed was still empty at 03.00 AM and the next day you had class in the morning. You know what happened, you were late for school because you didn’t get enough sleep.
We have the best tips for you if you’re running late for school.

• Tip 1; Some people are just not so good in getting up in the morning. If you know you’re one of them, fix as much as you can in the evening. Prepare your breakfast so you can grab it from the table in the morning and eat it on your way to school. And if you pick your clothes for the next day in the evening before, you can just put them on in the morning and go.
• Tip 2; If you have to get up early, don’t go to bed after 12.00 AM. It’s so simple, just be a little wiser than the rest of your friends who are going out and just get to bed on time. It may be less fun sometimes, but you won’t be late the next morning and you won’t feel hangover. So the next day you are the one who’s feeling good!
• Tip 3; Let your roommates help you! Ask you roommates if they want to check on you in the morning so they can wake you up if you’re still sleeping. If they’re not home when you have to wake up, you can always ask them to call you so you will wake up from hearing the loud noise of your phone.

With these legendary tips you won’t be late for school anymore, so use them if you can!
