usually its something on the side dealing with skills you picked up in past jobs. And if you are doing it right it is the same or better paying than day job. Or be fun enough you were going to be doing it anyway so might as well get paid.

This is less of a shower thought and moreso just good advice for any time you're negotiating. If the seller doesn't truly believe you're prepared to walk then you're never going to get the best possible deal (probably, unless they're just feeling really nice that day or aren't trying to make a profit).

This is utterly false. A side hustle almost never implies working extra hours for your full time employer, rather a secondary, independent source of income

Oh nice! I did that for some sociology and psychology classes too, but overall, I did whatever they didn't want to do LOL it ranged from communication to accounting to calculus to literature to chemistry.
I did it for money because I know I'm good at writing and a lot of the people in my dorm are very rich and lazy. I love rich lazy people. They make me rich :P
I admittedly take pride in what I do too (especially since a bad grade will reflect badly on me), but I was a little more chill since I know that whatever grade I get them will be higher than what they would have gotten themselves anyway

This is true for most people but there’s bound to be some people where it’s not. At least not right now.

Side hustles are just second jobs but it’s not classy to say you have a second job, but side hustle sounds like you’re starting a business and pursuing what you want to do where as “second job” makes it sound like you’re not paid enough

Who pays for you to make such ludicrous statements?

Yeah no. I'm not paying resort fees if they're making me cram loads and loads of information in my brain in a matter of 10-15 short weeks. Resort? No way.

When you're negotiating buying a car, you are making a major purchase in an arena of snake charmers. Just buy online. You don't have to haggle anymore. It's so annoying.

Hey I used to do that in sociology and psychology classes! Tbh writing papers that were usually 5-10 pages long was not the best choice especially because I take pride in what I write I mostly just did it for friends

Jesus Christ I remember I used to do rich people's homework for money. There were times I had no sleep for 24-48 hours doing both my and their requirements, all so I could earn enough to party in the weekend.
I'd say it's a pretty shitty resort. 1 star, maybe even 0.

You can typically get a line item break down, because that is required for tax purposes, because some parts can be written off while others can't. But at least at the university I work at, it all on one bill, they aren't different bills, and you don't typically pay per service.
There are many schools now that include lab fees and books in the base tuition. Many schools have started advertising it to show there are no "hidden fees" like the extra $1000 a year in books I had to pay 20 years ago. There are also numerous classes now that are using open-source digital textbooks. I know a few instructors that have switched over and have been very happy with the results.

I just rotate my eyes every 3 months, much simpler than equalizing blinking.
