<prompt> Human: I am a 19 year old college student and I was fortunate enough to hold a few jobs and save up some money. I also do not have to pay for my education because of scholarships and such. I saved up some money for a car, but it doesnt seem like there is an immediate need for one, so I decided that I would like to invest it and make it work for me. I am looking to start investing with maybe 1000-2000. I have looked into stocks and bonds but am not sure what would be the best option for me. I tried playing the virtual stock market game on MarketWatch which varying levels of success. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. PS. My savings are already on a savings account but the interest rate is just too small.Edit: Thanks for all the responses, they were all greatly appreciated. Also the 1-2k arent all of my savings, they are just the part that I allotted for myself to invest in. Assistant: Keep your money in a savings account for school expenses.Human: Most school expenses are covered for me, thats why I am looking to invest.  <response>: school expenses are not the only expenses you will incur.
