Wow, it’s hard to believe that there’s only a week left in the month of November. It feels like this month never started; it went by so fast! With that fact in mind, this also means time is running out for the ing competition and I have yet to save any money. However, I’ve been doing job searches left and right and came across a few good opportunities. There are many temporary part-time gigs on craigslist that pays decent amount of money. I landed a gig on craigslist that pays $120 just to help move some furniture from one apartment to another. That’s great considering that it’s only for a day worth of work, it shouldn’t take me any longer than 2-3 hours to complete. I’ve also changed my savings strategy. I will not put the entire $120 dollars into my ing account as I originally planned. Since I’m not sure when more money will come in I have to budget wisely. I may just deposit $50 into my ing account and save the rest for gas and emergency money. That is until I find another full time or part time job. That’s my progress as of now and there’s nothing else I have to share with you all, so until now, then and later. ;O—-Peaceeee. OUT.

Well, this is my second blog and so far I haven’t saved up much money. To be honest with you all, I haven’t saved any money. I’m currently in the process of finding a part time or full time job depending on what the hours are like. This semester of college has been extremely busy for me. Especially considering the fact that I resigned from my previous job the same week school started back. There was a serious conflict in my school and work schedule so I had to chose which one was more important. Don’t count me out though, I still plan on actually opening up an ing account and saving up $500 before this year is over. My plan is to make at least $300 a week. From every check that I receive I’ll take out $50 to keep for my own personal use and deposit the $250 into my ing account. That way I’ll have the $500 already saved up within 2 weeks! I know I can do it, I just have to be persistent with it. The real challenge for me right now is trying to find a job! Well, that’s all I have to type for now my fellow scholarship pointers. Unitl now, then and later. ;O—-PEACEEEEE. OUT!

"ATL"

Salutations scholarship pointers,

Rhashad here reporting live from ATL, Georgia. I’m 20 years young and I’m currently attending school at Georgia Perimeter College. I’ll be transferring in the summer of next year to SCAD, where I’ll major in Animation and minor in sequential art. My plans for the future is to one day own my own animation company and produce my own comic books worldwide.

I’ve been a member of scholarshippoints.com for the past month and I have to say that this is the best scholarship site I’ve ever been to. This site actually makes scholarship hunting a fun thing to do. The first scholarship I entered for on scholarshippoints.com was for the 10k in October. Even though I didn’t win, I can honestly say I had fun doing this scholarship. From that point on I became determined to participate in every scholarship I could possible get from this site! Now with this new, “save $500″ promotion going on, there’s more opportunity for all of us to earn some extra money for school, the holidays, and more.  As the days and weeks go by I would like to share with you all some personal tips for saving money, gaining points on this website, and general information about life that will benefit you! I’m privileged to be a part of scholarshippoints.com. Especially considering how underground this site seems to be, it gives it a v.i.p. feeling.

Since this is my first blog, I guess I’ll go ahead and drop my first informative tip. The best and most efficient way that I found of racking up points is through referrals. If you can manage to get at least five people to sign up with this site a day, that’s 100pts a day. The best place to tell people about this site are at colleges. Make fliers with this website printed on them, list instructions telling people how to register, and then put down your email address as the referral on the flier, simple. Well, that’s pretty much it for my first blog. I will post many more blogs in the days to come. Until now, then, and later. ;o—-PEACEEEEEEEEE. OUT! Oh, and for taking out the time to seriously read my blog. Here’s a little something something for ya.
