5 ways to make extra income as a part time student-intern

All of us have been there, done that. As students, when you’ve multiple costs piling up in your expense sheet, your budget starts taking a toll. When there are expenditures involved in almost every step of our journey, it is always better to have some extra sources of income — ones that can help us make more money without compromising upon the learning part of it. Here are five of the easiest ways out there to make money as a student or an intern, without giving up upon the fun. Read along!

Be a gamer (plus one if you can Livestream)

We can’t stress this enough. Like what in the world can beat a more fun experience than gaming? And, what if you could earn from it? Calm down upon your curiosity buds and understand that there are a number of games like judi slot gacor , and many others available in the market that can help you win real cash, provided you learn the subtle art of gaming, and be pro at it without risking it all. While some games like judi slot terpercaya can make you win big, you can also be a gamer cum youtuber and earn via livestreams, uploads and sponsorships. Who knows which of your videos go viral and you start minting money like there’s no tomorrow?

Become a tutor — a great way to learn and earn

Those who share what they know with others never have to worry about the deficit of it. Knowledge is something that grows with you, and the more you share the better it gets. And, that is why tutions can be a great way for students to make extra money while being stacked up with what they already know. The best thing about being a tutor is the flexibility and the initiative it provides to be in sync with things one already knows and understands. Also, the ability to embark knowledge upon people who really need it in the first place is priceless.

Online Surveys — they’re still great and they actually pay

Ah, we know you’ve read from a number of sources about making some extra income with online surveys. But then, something or the other has stopped you from even trying them out. Right? Well, Online surveys are good if you do not want to spend a lot of time in  your part time gig. All you need to do is, have an internet connection and sign up with a number of survey aggregators and online surveying platforms, and wait for them to share relevant information regarding open surveys with you, and companies that are inviting applicants for paid market research and surveys. 

Become a dropshipper — a goldmine of opportunities

No matter how hard someone tries to convince you about the notion of dropshipping being dead, do not listen to it. People generally presume that dropshipping goods from a supplier to a customer can be expensive, but that is not just true. You can get suppliers who can ship quality products at cheap prices at Alibaba, and you can also stumble upon that potential customer via Amazon — both of which don’t charge a penny to register. Also you can sell items via Facebook marketplace and other social media, which again brings us to the title — a goldmine for opportunities. 

Start a blog — the affiliate way of doing things

You’ve been here in the past — a time when you stumbled upon that video to make good mullahs via blogging. Well, some things do not change and do not age. Nothing ever in this world can beat the power of quality content, and when you add the SEO capabilities, link building and affiliate marketing to the prospects, you have a potential money minting machine — that can soon turn into a full time gig. Also, unlike the popular idea of blogs costing you some cash, it is actually free. You can get a free domain from blogspot or wordpress, and affiliate links from leading marketplaces and brands you would want to promote according to your niche. Pretty sleek!

Final Verdict

If you have an online connection and a cup of coffee, you can accomplish almost anything and everything — right from being a gamer to running your own blog. The bottom line is the ease that internet provides all of us, how differences have been eliminated with time and how all of us have an equal shot to make more money and be financially independent, along the way. Making money on the internet is easier than scrolling through it. Take action, and you’re good to succeed! 

A Ted Series is Finally Happening on Peacock

It has long been touted that Ted will be returning in the form of a television series, rather than a silver screen sequel to 2015’s Ted 2. Seth MacFarlane believes that the best way to boost the franchise and align it with the modern entertainment industry is to get it onto a streaming platform.

Peacock picked up the rights for Ted, and the series will most likely drop some time in 2023. It will serve as a prequel to the films and will explore the early life of the sentient teddy bear.

Ted Prequel Series Began Filming in August

The Ted prequel series is definitely happening, as filming began in August 2022 and has already wrapped. The series is being produced by Fuzzy Door Productions, MRC, and Universal Content Productions, and Seth MacFarlane is the series creator. The Family Guy star is also set to reprise his role as the lovable talking teddy bear.

Rather than continue the story of the films, the as-yet-unnamed series will detail Ted’s early days as an anthropomorphic bear. This means that it will have a brand new cast and will most likely not feature Mark Wahlberg or Mila Kunis. Some of the stars confirmed to be in the show so far alongside MacFarlane include Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, and Giorgia Whigham.

There are eight episodes planned for the first season, but there hasn’t been an announcement about how many seasons there will be. There is a lot of potential for the series to go in new directions, though, as it will take place many years before the events of the movies.

Franchise Getting a Major Boost

It’s clear that MacFarlane is attempting to jump on the modern franchising trend of marketing a brand in as many places as possible to gain the greatest amount of attention. The movies were successful and brought in over $750 million between them, meaning that they can form a great foundation for a booming franchise.

 

One of the best ways to get a brand’s name in front of as many people as possible is to branch out into gaming. The slots market is often the best route, as a slot game can reach a sprawling audience. There is already a Ted slot, and it is one of the most popular games at MrQ. The site uses games like this to attract players, along with casino promotions that can help draw people to the site. These include deals like first deposit spins and a refer your friends bonus.

Adding a series to these offerings will boost the franchise even more and draw people to the other content available. It could also lead to more game releases on different platforms in the future.

MacFarlane has done plenty of projects in the film industry since he gained fame as the creator of Family Guy. However, his work on the smaller screen is arguably superior to what he’s done in cinema. That means that the Ted series could be a massive hit, and it’s likely to lead to the expansion of this popular franchise.

A$AP Rocky Shares New ‘Need for Speed: Unbound’ Song ‘Shittin’ Me’

0

A$AP Rocky has a new song out called ‘Shittin’ Me’, which was made for the new video game Need for Speed: Unbound. The single was produced by longtime collaborator Kelvin Krash. Give it a listen below.

“It has been a pleasure getting to be a creative collaborator with EA on the new Need for Speed game,” A$AP Rocky commented in a statement. “‘Shittin’ Me’ serves as the lead track from the game soundtrack, and, with so much excitement around it, it was only natural to also do a music video. Grin Machine did a great job paying homage to the game collaboration with AWGE with the fun wacky aesthetics, and shout out to Krash and Hec for the music as always.”

Earlier this year, A$AP Rocky released the track ‘D.M.B.’. The rapper also appears on ‘Feel the Fiyaaaah’, from Metro Boomin’s new LP Heroes & Villains, which is out today.

Cassandra Jenkins Releases Live EP, Shares New ‘Crosshairs (interlude)’ Video

0

Cassandra Jenkins has collaborated with scholar, vocalist, and sārangī player Suhail Yusuf Khan for a new EP. It features improvisations and songs from Jenkins’ catalog, recorded live in the studio for Sonos Radio’s Music is Everything! podcast. Jenkins has also shared a new video for ‘Crosshairs (interlude)’, which was made with filmmaker Adinah Dancyge and writer, sex worker and political activist Liara Roux. Listen to Chale Jaana: Cassandra Jenkins & Suhail Yusuf Khan Live and check out the video below.

“Songs have many faces, and I wanted to explore the subconscious side of Crosshairs’ DNA by collaborating with other artists I love to create something tender and surreal,” Jenkins wrote in a statement about ‘Crosshairs (interlude)’. “I wanted to capture the kind of intimacy that happens between strangers, or two people who are exploring each other for the first time, and the way it opens up our psyches. The shoot was less of a performance, and more of a playful, intuitive scene.”

“Crosshairs reflects a curiosity about the subjective experience of intimacy,” Dancyger said. The magnification of details of the human form brings an otherworldly sense of such a human experience, a sacred feeling that can happen through human connection.”

Roux added: “I was so excited when Cassandra asked me to participate in this shoot – it was as though she read my mind! Crosshairs is my favorite song off the album. It’s moody and tender, captures that ineffable beauty of finding yourself falling into someone else and I think the video reflects that.”

Jenkins’ latest studio album was 2021’s An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, which was followed by the compilation (An Overview on) An Overview on Phenomenal Nature. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with Cassandra Jenkins.

David Byrne Shares New Holiday Song ‘The Fat Man’s Comin’’

0

David Byrne has released a new holiday single, ‘The Fat Man’s Comin’’, for Bandcamp Friday. Jherek Bischoff produced and arranged the song, which was originally written in 2013. It can be purchased exclusively via Bandcamp until December 30 for an amount of your choosing, with a minimum contribution of $1. Proceeds from the track will benefit Byrne’s nonprofit online news magazine, Reasons to Be Cheerful. Check it out below.

Byrne said in a statement about the track:

I always wanted to write a holiday song. I wouldn’t call it a Christmas song, as the visitation of Santa (formerly known as St. Nicholas, who mainly did punishing) seems to have evolved to be a more secular consumer moment than a religious or spiritual affair.

I believe the foundation of this music might have been written at the same time as the collaboration I did with St. Vincent a few years ago, but somehow a literal view of the Santa phenomena was what came out. It wasn’t right for Annie and me – the story of a fat man in rather odd attire who breaks into people’s homes and leaves mysterious packages.

I’d worked with Jherek before and enlisted him to arrange and record the “orchestra,” which I wanted to sound sort of old-school creepy. The old song “Teddy Bears Picnic” may have been a reference.

Back then, I thought I’d use the song as a means to raise money for a good cause, but to draw attention to this thing I thought it might need a visual, so I storyboarded a video for the song which eventually ended up getting shelved.

But maybe helping celebrate another year of Reasons To Be Cheerful might be a good reason to resurrect this song, and let the storyboards allow folks to imagine what the video might have been.

Enjoy and thanks for listening/watching

Björk Shares New Video for ‘Sorrowful Soil’

0

Björk has shared the music video for ‘Sorrowful Soil’, a track from her latest album Fossora. Shot at the Fagradalsfjall volcano, the clip was directed by Viðar Logi, who also photographed the LP’s cover art, which we just featured in our 50 Best Album Covers of 2022 list. Check it out below.

In a press statement, Björk said:

sorrowful soil is a song i wrote from random improvisations .. i kinda thought i was writing another song but then when i edited it i threw away most of the stuff and this is what stood there staring at me

for me, sorrowful soil and ancestress are the 2 songs on fossora written for my mother … ancestress is my take on funeral-music but sorrowful soil is written 2 years before and mirrors more that last chapter .

at the time i had been working with the fantastic hamrahlid choir and wanted to give them the piece they deserved , and with that intention unknowingly wrote what the conductor þorgerður ingólfsdóttir said was the most difficult piece they ever sang . it has 9 voices, not the usual 4 ( sopran, alt, teno , bass ) which took the choir evenings of a whole summer to rehearse, i am so incredibly grateful to them for this sacrifice and you can hear all of it in the recording

the lyric is an attempt for an eulogy and instead of the dry fact checking : place of birth , job, marriage , i wanted to celebrate the biological data like the fact that most girls are born with 400 eggs … and then in their lifetime they make 2-3 nests…

when my grandfather passed away there was a pamphlet at the hospital advising relatives how to talk to loved ones before they pass away. i loved how it went really generic and universal and said that all of them will give families to-do-lists (dry-cleaning and such)

but also ask if they did well .

the last part of the lyric is following this advice

Phoebe Bridgers Joins Storefront Church for Cover of Low’s ‘Words’

0

Lukas Frank, who records under the moniker Storefront Church, has teamed up with his childhood friend Phoebe Bridgers for a rendition of ‘Words’, a song from Low’s 1994 debut I Could Live in Hope. Frank and Waylon Rector co-produced the track, which also features Spoon’s Alex Fischel on piano, Daniel Rhine on bass, and Cynthia Tolson on strings. Take a listen below.

Frank said in a statement about the cover:

Our cover of Low’s song, ‘Words’, is out today. In the wake of Mimi’s passing, I’d like to dedicate this to her. Low’s music has been incredibly useful to me; it’s like an antidote to anxiety, with Mimi’s voice at the heart of it—relieving, cathartic and honest. This cover features Phoebe, who I’ve known since we were little kids. I couldn’t be more grateful for her contribution and support, both now and over the years. My co-producer Waylon is also someone I’ve known for longer than I haven’t, but this is our first time officially producing something together and I’m proud of the result.

Adding to the nostalgia of it all, the cover art is by graphic design master @jamsayne and features a photo my mom took of my sister 30 years ago. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to this song, to Low, and to all who listen.

Metro Boomin, Heroes & Villains

The follow-up to 2018’s Not All Heroes Wear Capes boasts guest appearances from the Weeknd, Future, Chris Brown, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Young Nudy, Mustafa, and the late Takeoff. A few days ago, Metro shared a short film to accompany the album, which is directed by Gibson Hazard and features Morgan Freeman, LaKeith Stanfield, and currently incarcerated YSL labelmates Young Thug and Gunna. The album is dedicated to the producer’s late mother, Leslie Wayne, who was shot and killed earlier this year.


RM, Indigo

BTS leader and rapper RM has released his debut solo album, Indigo. Following his mixtapes RM and Mono, the LP spans 10 tracks and features collaborations with Erykah Badu, Anderson .Paak, Paul Blanco and Mahalia, electronic duo Honne, Kim Saweol, Tablo, and more. Last week, RM teased the album’s themes with a visual that read: “From the colors of nature, human, etc. Documentation of my youth in the moment of independent phase. Sun-bleached record faded like old jeans. The last archive of my twenties.”


Sophie Jamieson, Choosing

Out now via Bella Union, Choosing is the debut album by London-based singer-songwriter Sophie Jamieson. Following her 2020 EPs Hammer and Release, the record was produced by longtime collaborator Steph Marziano and includes the previously released singles ‘Sink’, ‘Downpour’, and ‘Runner’. “The title of this album is so important,” Jamieson explained in a press release. “Without it, this might sound like another record about self-destruction and pain, but at heart, it’s about hope, and finding strength. It’s about finding the light at the end of the tunnel, and crawling towards it.”


Other Half, Soft Action

Norwich-based post-hardcore outfit Other Half have returned with their sophomore album, Soft Action, following 2020’s Big Twenty. Released via Big Scary Monsters, the LP was recorded at Sickroom Studios in Narborough, Norfolk with longtime producer Owen Turner and includes the advance tracks ‘Slab Thick’ and ‘Like a Dog’. “Someone described our last record as one of the great ‘drug albums’,” vocalists Cal said in a press statement. “Going by the lyrics for ‘Slab Thick’, that might make this record our ‘sex album’. A debased 3 bears-style allegory about the search for something that doesn’t exist. It doubles up as a comment on the process of writing our second album and how most of the time it’s good to just stick to what you know. ”


Other albums out today:

White Lung, Premonition; Babyface Ray, MOB; NOFX, Double Album; Leftfield, This Is What We Do; TOBACCO, Skids and Angels; Sarchasm, Conditional Love; Melvin Gibbs, Anamibia Sessions 1: The Wave; Olli Aarni, Koko maailma.

New Fashion Trends for Men: 2022 Runways

Fashion Trends – For Men Who Want to Look a Ten

Keeping up with what’s happening in the frequently perplexing world of fashion is worthwhile if you want to add some newness to your wardrobe or spice up your go-to pieces. This isn’t a list of transient, fleeting trends. Instead, we’ve chosen to concentrate on contemporary works that will undoubtedly become classics. These are the things that are now in style, and we would personally wear; they are simple to work into your current wardrobe and will look great for years to come. These are the most wearable men’s fashion trends of the year, ranging from the comeback of military style to the traditional men’s shirt.

Cardigan Coats

This season, the world’s smartest menswear designers had the brilliant notion of making jackets out of cardigans. Sweater jackets! Heavy-knit cardigans, also known as coats, are actually cardigans. Both are cosy when slipped on over the top of a suit or worn with some sweats for a long day of working from home.

Double Denim

Men’s and women’s fashion trends sometimes overlap, so we’re not shocked to see a spike in full-denim outfits taking over the men’s fashion scene. The denim game is won by baggy pants, ragged hems, oversized shirts, and bucket hats made of the material. If a complete denim look intimidates you (though we guarantee you’ll look incredible), start by incorporating one unconventional denim piece into your overall look. From there, add layers as the weather gets colder.

Adidas Gazelles

These Gazelles are the footwear that all fashion critics are raving about. Adidas’s Gazelle line debuted in 1968 and quickly became popular among handball players before Noel Gallagher’s embrace in the 1980s. But, thanks to yet another A-lister, business is growing once more. Most of Harry Styles’ recent tour has seen him sporting the Adidas x Gucci Gazelles. The classics and Spezials, which come in muted green and blue suede, are much more affordable; however, they will cost you a little more.

Printed Shirts

When Hawaiian shirts first became popular in the 1930s, printed shirts were among the most popular options. These striking pieces of clothing are an excellent way to dress up a basic outfit, such as jeans or pants. There are many different types available from designer brands, but you can also discover less expensive options with similar effects. Depending on the aesthetic you want, you can choose a traditional look with palm trees or something more graphic with colour blocking or logos. Keep the rest of your outfit simple to make the branded design stand out even more. Alternatively, a colour theme, such as black or blue, can unify the entire ensemble.

Varsity Jackets

When varsity jackets were last in style, it was all about the slim, ultra-tailored variations. The ones that matter most this time are cut wide and boxy, similar to the varsities from the early 1990s.

Dust Coat

The dust coat is a must-have in your wardrobe and your suitcase because it is big, light, and casual. The trench coat, peacoat, and parka inspired the dust coat, which shares the trait of being made to withstand any climatic event in style.

Loafers

Everyone loves slip-on shoes. You recognize the allure of a shoe without laces, whether you’ve succumbed to a Birkenstock clog or wish you could wear sliders everywhere. The slip-on footwear you’ve been looking for is a pair of robust leather loafers you can wear anywhere. They look terrific with flat-front trousers, twill pants, and jeans. But, of course, you should spend a little more on loafers to ensure quality and style.

Menswear is currently in an exciting position. Men’s fashion is gradually becoming more colourful, daring, and unconstrained by outdated regulations and dress codes. Change is pervasive as white-collar workers wear hoodies to the office and streetwear designers reinvent tailoring. It’s time to start putting together your winter wardrobe for 2022 now that you are aware of the top menswear trends of this year. You may easily locate a range of on-trend menswear items to add to your new seasonal outfit, regardless of your style.
