<prompt> Human: First off, let me say that I am extremely grateful to be in the position that I am in. I have a part-time job, and 1000 in savings currently. I make roughly 250 per month enough to cover my expenses and then some. I hardly ever go out or spend my money on anything other than necessities. Im lucky enough to have my parents to back me up should I encounter any financial emergency, and I am looking to have my full college tuition paid for by the state. My parents will assist me in paying for housing, and I will be receiving scholarships to help me pay for any supplies. Needless to say, I have my post-secondary education covered.I am looking for the wisest way to invest some of my savings to mainly gain experience but generating a bit of money on the side wouldnt hurt.What should I do?  <response>: Great idea to start saving early. Congrats on that! I do think though that you should save the money and not invest it for now. Maybe youll want to do a semester abroad or travel while being in college. Just leave it in your savings for now, at least that is what I would do!
