Life in a Famous University
That day arrives. The mailman/woman walks to your driveway and shoves the important documents that determine whether or not your future career will be on the correct path. You run out and immediately grab all the envelopes in your mailbox and run back inside. You were so excited that you even forgot to close your mailbox. When you enter back inside your humble home, your parents are looking at you with quizzical looks due to the fact that you basically ran like the Flash to go to the mailbox. You do not even sit on the couch. You are standing...well, pacing back and forth literally dropping the envelopes that are not important to you.

I Am Not Ready to Graduate
I have always been a good student. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and I tried my best in the classes that didn't necessarily click (I have avoided science courses like it was the devil). I was also always extremely involved and would want to put my hand in everything. I loved the idea of being a part of something, and now it is coming to an end.

Do's and Don'ts of Freshmen in College by a Freshman in College
I’ve recently finished my first semester of college, and I’ll be beginning my second semester in a couple weeks.

Here’s what to know when you’re going into your first year of college.

Advice From a Resident Assistant
You were, at some point, a freshman moving into the residence halls and the resident assistants (RAs) were there to welcome you with open arms. You may have went into the traditional residence halls or dorms, possibly a cosy suite-style hall, or even an apartment, but no matter where you were, there was an RA or equivalent (my university uses community assistants or CAs). We are here to make your living, academic, and social life thrive as you go through your time at your respective university. We are those mentors, tutors, and guides that aid you through the years, and hope that you make the best of them. You may have left your RA behind if you moved off of campus, or you just got a new one a couple weeks back, but here is some advice from one RA at a state school in little town, Pennsylvania to you on how to make this semester the best that you can.

What Can You Expect from College?
This is picture above is from the college that I recently graduated from. As you can see from my profile, I recently graduated from this fine institution and yes, I do recommend Minnesota State University Mankato for those of you who are interested. Whether or not they have the courses you want, though, is up to you. I am merely sharing my thoughts on a college experience and what you should know.

How to Cope With the Work Load at University
When we start university, we think its going to be all parties and fun with a little bit of work in between...unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out that way. A lot of people are nervous about starting university. Just look on student forums and there are hundreds of posts about nerves when starting, students not enjoying the course, and those wanting to quit. From the perspective of someone who did a science/biology degree, it is a lot of work, and it can feel strenuous at times. But there are ways to make that work load manageable, and even fun!

Most Beautiful College Campuses in America
While academics should be the most important factor when deciding where to spend the best four years of your life, many incoming college students choose their school based on how beautiful the campus is. When comparing schools, the most beautiful campus always wins.

Tips for New/Current Students in College/University
As a second year university student, there are things that I wish I knew when I first started last year. It is what you expect, but you don't realize the effects it can have on you. With all this newfound freedom, you don't really know what to do with it, and how to use it. Let's face it—the first year is when you start to learn the ropes.

I Got Into Berklee College of Music: Here's My Advice on How You Can, Too
In January of 2016, I sat in my bedroom and opened an email announcing my acceptance into Berklee College of Music. I was proud and excited, and a little surprised (us musicians sure are full of self-doubt, aren't we?), but I knew I'd worked hard to get in, and, more than anything, I felt accomplished.

Dear Incoming College Freshman
You finally got your acceptance letter to your dream school, congrats!! You’re leaving the high school life and everything is totally going to change. Trust me, it will. There are no longer those cliques you’re used to seeing during lunch period. Matter of fact, there’s no lunch period. The best part of college is you can choose what class to take and at what time you’d like to take it. After experiencing my first year in college, I can say I will definitely enjoy the rest of the three years I have left. The habits you had in high school have the go. They need to be left behind, abandoned because college is a rollercoaster. But this is not to scare you into thinking college is hard. It won’t be hard, you just have to grind and work hard. But what I am going to talk about are all the great moments you’re going to have.
