Being a first generation college student is difficult to say the least. You may feel like you have to figure everything out on your own — I know I did. I searched high and low for all types of scholarships and ended up applying to 35 of them and only receiving six. I went on […]
Choosing colleges can be an extreme challenge when you’re a senior, transfer, or first year. With this challenge comes stress, especially if you have no clue what to look for, which was my problem. Neither one of my parents went to college. I went into college tours having no clue what questions to ask while […]

Getting a Job on Campus is a Great Idea I 10/10 would recommend getting a job on campus. I got my first job on campus through one of the career fairs. As a commuter student, I find it was really convenient to work here because I’d come to campus for class and then, instead of […]
You’ve probably heard the horror stories about gaining weight your first year of college. You’re away from those delicious home cooked meals your parents used to make you and now you’re responsible for feeding yourself (plus you don’t have a mandatory physical education class to attend).
