Choosing what college to go to can be a very hard decision. Now, I'm not here to pitch you a certain university or location that would be best for you based on what beauty the campus offers, or how qualified the professors are, or even how small and including the classroom sizes are.

Recently, I was at one of those famous and now so popular happy hours in a co-working space. People were talking about their different (awful and funny) experiences in the workforce after they graduated college. Some of those stories were about horrible bosses, low pay, the debt they were in due to college/car/credit card loans, lack of time to exercise, all those endless ramen soups at home, but also the fancy restaurant bills due to peer pressure, etc.

So I started off in school, just like everyone else. I had lessons I thrived in as well as the lessons I couldn’t stand for all sorts of different reasons. I couldn’t be bothered, I didn’t like my teachers, I didn’t see the point in attending just because it wouldn’t get me where I wanted to go.

I saw the pitfalls before they happened and did nothing about it. Putting that out there now. I was lazy and unmotivated, and all it's caused me is debt. But, I did take mental notes along the way of what I did wrong, so when I start again this year, I might do something right.

5 Stages of a College Senior
Every year, over a million students graduate from colleges all over the globe. They stand proud in their cap and gowns, ready to take their diploma with a smile. To the audience, they’re entirely poised and prepared to take on the world. In reality, they’ve had ten mental breakdowns, slammed out a 30-page thesis paper, and shotgunned two cases of beer (or bottles of wine)… all within the last seven days. And that’s not even the half of what we students endure throughout our whole senior year.
Selena LundyPublished 6 years ago in Education The Truth About Freshman Year of College
Like many other teenagers aspiring to better themselves with a college degree, I was in my Junior year of high school when I started to research where I would spend my years after I graduated. The process was stressful and exciting as I looked at tuition rates, locations, majors, size, and student life at different institutions. It all went by so quickly. I had decided on attending Kutztown University in Pennsylvania and before I knew it I was weeks away from move-in day. I had all kinds of mixed emotions about starting an entirely new chapter of my life. I was excited to finally be on my own getting to go to school for something that I care about, I was nostalgic leaving the life that I've known for years, but most of all I was anxious and scared out of my mind. Moving to a new place on your own is one of the bravest things a person can do, especially at 18 years old when you barely feel like an adult. But as nervous as I was, I kept telling myself that everyone goes through this and that everyone feels this way. I assumed that I would be okay when I got there, and everything would fall into place.

Hey everyone! My name is Kaylin Winters and I'm currently a physical sherapy student at Bethel. Of course I'm a broke college student (aren't we all?) who's been trying to get an online job to have over the summer. (Because I have tuition to pay.) I've tried so many online surveys, "legitimate" sites claiming to pay you over $25-50 a week, or my personal favorite—$250-500 a year!

I used to envy those people who had a plan for their life. They knew what was up and they were set on making their goals happen. They were determined and dedicated—nothing could deter them. These people are superheroes—they don't really exist.
