What I Would Have Done Differently

Looking back at my college years.

As soon as I started my freshman year, I was energetic and committed to making friends, getting a 3.5 gpa, and getting involved on campus. As I approach my last semester of my undergraduate career, hopes, dreams, and friends have changed. This post is inspired by the fact that I justpurchased my cap and gown online and I am happy to say that I can almost…

What Makes a Good Friend, Your Friend?

The reality of finding a group of friends in your first year of college.

One out of the many things I heard my tour guide on making friends was, “The people I met during orientation have been my best friends for years! It happens naturally.

Advocating for yourself when it comes to academic advising, group projects and more.

You get up at 6 am, you wish your spouse a good day, and you head to your first class of the day. You check to see if everything you need is in your car before you head to your office and prepare for your class.

A Day in the Life

An overview of an overcommitted college student and how you can stay sharp, work, go to class, and rest

Much like everyone else, I wake up brush my teeth, take a shower, maybe squeeze a meal in and head out the door to start my day. While there are many students who are more focused than others, there are students who like to toe the fine line between being involved and stretching themselves…
