COLLEGE WRAP UP: sophomore edition 💗

Wrapping up my second year of college and moving into the 3rd is soooooo insane to me.

I never would’ve thought I’d be going this far honestly. With all the changes and growth I’ve experienced, I can’t wait for what’s next to come.

Tips I’ve learned:

- Start counseling!! It’s gonna be difficult but it’s doable. You came this far, don’t let minor bumps stop you from obtaining your goal ❤️

- join organizations!! Community service and getting to know the people on your campus is so beneficial. Don’t be like me and act antisocial, meet new people and build new relationships

- find a hobby!! Don’t make going to class, and watching Netflix your only hobby. There’s so much out there to get into and learn, have fun and enjoy yourself when you have free time on your hands.

College is stressful, you will have ups and downs, but you’re here!! You made it to/ through college and that’s a big accomplishment within itself!

... Read moreAs college students, we often focus on academics, neglecting the importance of mental health and social connections. Seeking counseling is a crucial step; it allows for personal growth and support through challenging times. Moreover, getting involved in campus organizations can greatly enhance your college experience, fostering friendships and enriching your academic journey. Remember, balance is key; pursue hobbies that inspire you outside of studies. Whether it's joining a club or exploring creative outlets, diversifying your interests can help alleviate stress and keep your college life vibrant. Acknowledging both the highs and lows of your journey will prepare you for future challenges. Celebrate each achievement, as every step forward is part of a significant milestone in the pursuit of your degree.
