So maybe you’re just like Rick and you could honestly do anything with your life but you prefer just using your intelligence to mess around and get ‘riggity-riggity-wrecked, son!’ or perhaps you’re more of a Morty and are completely lost in every aspect of your life, struggling to survive finals week, dreaming of Jessica, and dealing with your annoying sister with no real future to speak of other than adventures with your utterly insane grandfather.
No matter who you resemble, the pressure to make something of yourself in the world always looms over you from your first day of school until your last day of college. However, life isn’t always ‘well-lived’ and it can often seem like you’re just a Roy that was being operated by a pretty terrible player. In the end, you may find yourself with a drinking problem, a pile of student loans, and no portal gun to get you out of it.
Although this may sound like a complete and total nightmare to most of us that just begs for a Mr. Meseeks to fix it, you don’t have to count your couch pennies to pay off your loans or live off ramen and water to survive. In fact, despite the $1.31 trillion dollars in student loan debt facing America alone, there are plenty of ways to leave college and enter the big, bad world of business while still retaining your creative side and quite literally paying your entire student loans off with just your love for a crazy scientist and his extremely dumb grandson. Without further ado, here are three ways to turn your hatred towards getting thrifty into a reason for getting schwifty and give that Rick and Morty obsession of yours a purpose at last.
Create Some Fan Art
If you’re a true fan, you probably already make all kinds of doodles of Rick and Morty and the wild characters in the awesome show’s storyline, however, what you may not realize is that these pieces of art could mean some serious Schmeckles for you to go towards your insane student loan debts (and maybe a few drinks at the Thirsty Step as well). Whether in the form of awesome drawings and paintings or even clay figurines and Pyrography, there are countless ways to transform your artistic capabilities into a form of tangible freelance work. Furthermore, with sites like Etsy, Zazzle, and Redbubble, you can even sell your art on your own online store without the hassle of building your own website.
Make Some Custom Clothes
Although creating custom clothing can be difficult, you can easily paint the backs of jackets, buy cheap pairs of shoes and paint the tops, or even create stencils for T-shirts to transform your love for Rick and Morty into a tangible clothing line which can then be sold at music festivals, local shops, and even online.
Make Replicas of Rick’s Stuff, Yo
Let’s face it; every true Rick and Morty fan would LOVE a portal gun or some Mega Tree seeds (preferably ones that haven’t been waaay up Morty’s butt), however, who says you have to pay for them to get them? In fact, by taking the extra time to make them from scratch, you can then sell them online to other avid fans and pay off that darn debt one Flurbo at a time. In fact, many fans have already been creating portal guns, plumbuses, and even Rick’s spacecraft from scratch already so why not join in on the fun?
Although being an adult can often be hard, learning to take your passions and turn them into a means to pay off that stupid degree you’re probably just now realizing doesn’t do all that much for you in the first place can help you to put those bills in the past and move forward debt-free. After all, as Rick says, “It’s not a place for smart people.” Still, who can complain when your payments are made with art you already are creating and about a show you adore as well? No one; the answer is no one.
