One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps foot part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part-time jobs that provide students with extra income.
Jobs with employer scholarships
Some companies offer help paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part-time employees the chance to win up to a $ 25 ,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two-or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.
Work-study
For years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who submit Free Application for Student Aid maybe qualified for the program. While these jobs aren't always on campus, students in work study earn at least $7.25 per hour-the state minimum wage.
Paid internships
A paid internship（实习） can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work after graduation . According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid interns received a job offer, while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.
On-demand economy jobs
Known for its flexibility, the jobs can help students earn cash between classes. These on-demand jobs include completing small jobs, making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services. Students can typically earn more through on-demand work, ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.
The giant Amazon rainforest in South America has been a mystery for centuries. It holds all kinds of natural wonders. Among them in Colombia, a river stands out as "the most beautiful river" in the world.
Locally called Carni o Cristales, this special river lies in a national park. It is made up of several waterfalls, rapids, and plenty of pools. For most of the year, Canio Cristales looks like a common river: clean, green, and rocky. However, during the short period between September and November, the river explodes（迸发） with life and colour. It appears as any mix of colours including blue, green, yellow, orange, and a purplish red. So it is also known as the "River of Five Colours".
Although at first it may appear as if some chemicals were added to the water, this rainbow river is completely natural. Cafio Cristales'colours are the result of a rare（稀有） water plant which needs sunlight to grow. The plants change colour depending on how much sunlight they receive, and the amount is decided by the height and speed of the water. Therefore, it is possible for the plants to be totally colourless if the sunlight is too hard to get. They are a delicate plant. This makes them easily damaged in the water.
Actually, the river faces some problems, including drier seasons, wildlife trouble, waste management, and budget（预算） cuts. In 2007, the park was forced to close because it was over-crowded with tourists. Now the park admits only 200 people a day and requires them to mind their behaviour.
Today, Cano Cristales still shines among Colombia's most popular natural attractions, drawing thousands of tourists every year.
Coca-Cola is to test a paper bottle as part of a longer-term goal to get rid of plastic from its packaging entirely. The prototype （样本） is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner （衬垫）. But the goal is to create a 100% recyclable, plastic free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated（碳酸） drinks. The barrier must also ensure no fibers get into the liquid.
That may have a risk of changing the taste of the drink —or potentially can't meet the requirements of health and safety checks. But industry giants （巨头）are backing the plan. Coca-Cola, for example, has set a goal of producing zero waste by 2030. Coca-Cola was ranked the world's number one plastic polluter by charity group Break Free From Plastic（摆脱塑料） last year, closely followed by other drink-producers Pepsi and Nestle.
The Paper Bottle Company, or Paboco, is the Danish firm behind the development of the paper-based container. Part of the challenge has been to create a structure capable of standing the forces exerted by carbonated drinks — such as cola and beer — which are bottled under pressure. On top of that, the paper needs to be mouldable to create different bottle shapes and sizes for different brands and take ink for printing their labels.
After more than seven years of lab work, the firm is now ready to host a trial in Hungary this summer of Coca-Cola's fruit drink Adez. Initially, this will involve 2,000 bottles distributed via a local retail chain.
But it is also working with others. Absolut, the vodka maker, is due to test 2,000 paper bottles of its own in the UK and Sweden of its pre-mixed, carbonated raspberry drink. And beer company Carlsberg is also building prototypes of a paper beer bottle.
Michael Michelsen, the firm's commercial manager, says the bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength.
Your Path to Emotional Maturity（成熟）
Emotions play a critical part in our lives and are contagious（传染） unless you know how to actually control them. In order to grow and thrive（茁壮成长）, you must learn to be emotionally intelligent. .
Focus Your Efforts On Self-evolution
Just like you, it is completely normal for everyone else to have their own beliefs and opinions. Keeping that in mind, it's better to understand that you cannot change others, no matter how hard you try. Even if you try changing others, you could be hurting yourself in the process. .
Try Using "I" Statements
. Use "I" statements like "I feel miserable and heartbroken" instead of "You make me feel miserable and heartbroken." This approach conveys your e-motions effectively without aggression, showcasing emotional maturity.
.
People sometimes interact with us as if we are mind readers, especially in relationships. Your partner may expect you to understand their desires, which can be challenging. Just as you aren't a mind reader, others aren't either. You need to communicate your needs to other people, and they need to do the same with you. Share your needs with your loved ones and observe the positive changes.
Avoid Negative People
You are known by the company you keep, and this is always true. . If surrounded by negative people that only bring others down, then you will always feel miserable. In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side. Steer clear of people who emotionally manipulate others. Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them immediately.
A. Communicate Your Needs
B. Always Prioritize（优先考虑） Self-care
C. If surrounded by happy and motivated people, you will always be happy
D. When upset, express your feelings openly but in a non-aggressive manner
E. The strategy in this stressful situation is to focus on others instead of yours
F. Taking full responsibility for your actions is how you become emotionally mature
G. To enhance emotional maturity and happiness, self-change is the best course of action
My writing career began at the age of ten. That year, my mother gave me my first journal to help me deal with the 1 of my grandmother's death. In many ways, my grandmother was the 2 behind my own writing career.
When she was alive, my grandmother had 3 much emotional pain, but she also knew that writing was her key to 4 . While growing up in Galicia, Poland, during World War I, she 5 both her parents, and then had to care for herself and her eight-year-old sister. She found solace（慰藉） in journal writing.
Many years after her death, I 6 her journal and read every word. The void（空虚感） she had left in my life became stronger as the years progressed and I had my own health issues to 7 , such as being diagnosed with breast cancer at age 47. My 8 caused me to write down my grandmother's life story, based
on the 9 of her journal. Although at times the writing was 10 , it did bring me close to her once again and help me more 11 understand her many hardships.
Keeping journals has helped me 12 emotionally. Whether you're 13 by change, loss or pain, finding the time to write is 14 to the healing process. So why not 15 your pen and write down whatever comes to your mind?
when we feel unhappy again（cue）, rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead（routine）, which will make us feel relaxed. Aside changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator, our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by （take） the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the （successful） way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with single step." One step （seem） small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and （repeat） take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits.
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there （be） no "magic pill" or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and determine to make some （change）. You have the power （ build） a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
One day my grandfather gave me a gift —a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to
break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the
piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away.
So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.
