Many colleges offer jobs to students, including jobs at the student bookstore and cafeteria, tutoring jobs, and office work. Visit your school's website, and go to the careers section. There should be a section for student employment. Here are some other types of jobs you might find at your college: Working as a food server in the dining hall. Helping out with building and campus maintenance. Working as a receptionist in a residence hall or office, or a tour guide in the admissions office. Helping with research or working as a lab assistant. You can keep packaged snacks, such as chips, granola bars, bottled water, and soda inside your locker. The next time someone mentions that they forgot to pack a snack and how hungry they are, offer to sell them a snack out of your locker. Word will get around, and you may soon find classmates waiting outside your locker for snacks. Try to keep your prices lower than the cafeteria, but don't keep them too low or you won't be making any money. Consider buying the food when it is on sale, or in bulk; the prices will be cheaper and you will make some profit. Try to sell stuff that your classmates won't be able to buy in the cafeteria. Keep in mind, however, that this might get you in trouble with the school. This will allow you to set your own hours, location, and wage. Print off a few fliers and post them around your school. If your school has a message board, be sure to post a flier there as well. You can also print and sell class notes and study material, but make sure that the notes are very good and clear. By getting good grades, you may be able to get some money from your school. Some scholarships and grants can only be applied towards tuition, but some will arrive to you in the form of a check; you can do whatever you want with that money. Not all internships are paid, but they will give you valuable experience that you can use when applying for jobs after graduating from college. Most internships will also count towards school credit and can be used in the place of some classes.

You'll need to provide good drainage so that your plants don't become waterlogged, which can lead to root rot and yellowing leaves. Pour a little horticultural grit or some small, clean pebbles into the bottom of your bottle so that excess water will pool there instead of around your plants' roots. You can buy horticultural grit or planting gravel online or from your local garden supply center. The type of potting soil you choose will depend on the level of moisture and the types of nutrients your plants require. In general, though, it will need to be well-draining, high in organic content, and free of contaminants that might cause infections in your plants. Research the kind of potting soil that's best for the plants you plan to grow and buy an appropriate mixture at your local garden center. For example, for succulents, try purchasing a fast-draining potting soil designed for cacti. For more moisture-loving plants, such as peace lilies, opt for a general-purpose houseplant soil that holds a little moisture while still draining well. Pour the soil into the bottle on top of the horticultural grit. Break up any lumps with your hands so that the soil is loose and airy. It can be helpful to moisten the soil slightly before you pour it in to prevent the sides of the bottle from getting dusty.

After you are done rinsing the shrimp in cold water, pat them dry. You can use a clean paper towel to do this. Some experts believe you should buy frozen shrimp if you want the shrimp to taste best. Fresh shrimp is rare. Shrimp that is bought already peeled and deveined probably won't have as much flavor. Frozen shrimp can be defrosted in cold water. You should avoid brown shrimp or shrimp with black spots on their shells. You also want to avoid shrimp with yellowing shells. To remove the head of a shrimp, you should twist its head if the head is still attached. Do this with a gentle twist, and the head should pop off. Some people will also remove the shrimp's legs by pulling them off, although this is not necessary and is a matter of personal preference. Keep the shrimp cold while you are peeling and deveining them. Keep the shrimp on ice or in ice water while you are working with them. One reason to peel your own shrimp is that they will likely have more flavor. Pre-peeled shrimp are often overcooked.

Start simple for now, as complex molds are much harder to keep together at first. Get a piece of modeling wax and use a precision knife, Dremel, and any other tool needed to make a model of your jewelry. Whatever shape you make now will be the shape of your finished piece. You are making an exact replica of your eventual jewelry. Using a piece of jewelry you like as a model will help you design better pieces when you first start. Using some more wax, craft several long, wires out of wax and attach them to the model so that they all lead away from the piece. This is easier to understand when you see the whole process -- this wax will be covered in plaster, then melted out to make a hollow version of your shape. You then fill in the hollow part with silver. f you don't make sprues, the melted wax can't actually get out and make a hollow area. For smaller pieces, like a ring, you may only need one sprue. Larger pieces, like belt buckles, may need up to ten. All the sprues should meet at the same place. They will need to be attached to a sprue base. The sprues all meet together, and you attach the mold to the sprue base where all the sprues meet. This allows the wax to melt through the bottom of the base and leave the mold. The flask is a big cylinder that slides on top of the sprue base.

Carve a piece of hard modeling wax into your desired shape. Attach 3-4 "sprues," wax wires that will provide a channel for the wax to melt out later. Attach the mold to the sprue base using a bit of melted rubber. Put the flask on top of the sprue base, making sure you have a quarter inch between the wall of the flask and the model.
