It feels strange to be sitting down and writing a post about college when my high school days are still so fresh in my mind, but here I am.

Ah, January! Forever known as the month of new beginnings. Starting back at zero gives you a brand new chance to change your life. Albeit, January can be the most confusing month of the year. Do you start something new, or wrap up everything from the previous year? After all, nothing was done during the holidays. Some take this time …

Wait? You’re not getting ready for college?! …

Guess what, it’s October 1st, you guys! The time has come for warm sweaters, crisp air, and the (unofficial) start of the holiday season. At this time last year, I remember watching the first leaves fall to the ground, oh, and filling out the FAFSA. I was a few months into my senior year of high school and …
