It's back to school season! I miss college so much, not the school work but just how fun it was, college was some of the best years of my life! So in honor of being out of college for 5 years now I wanted to look back and share the best advise for any college students beginning this amazing chapter of their life.

In this episode I discuss;

• Getting organized- find a planner or scheduling app you'll actually use and set reminders to help you stay on top of your school work
• Get involved- I met some of my best friends in college so find a way you can plug into your collegiate community
• Make your schedule work for you- the beauty of college is you get to set your schedule so create one that is condusive for you
• Never pay full price for text books- 'nuff said
• Look into your professors- check out RateMyProfessor.com
• Stay on top of your finances- everyone is broke in college but don't dig that hole any deeper. Apply for scholarships throughout your college career, learn to cook for yourself instead of eating out and take cash when you go out so you can stick to your budget
• When to splurge- I highly recommend splurging on bedding and electronics. You will spend a lot of time in your bed sleeping and studying so make sure it's comfy. Also, having a good laptop and nice headphones will definetely be a purchase you get your money's worth for
• Pack light- you can always switch out your clothes on break when you go back home; additionally, keep in mind you're not going to want to bring anything that can't be washed easily.
• Be proactive- take responsibility for your own education and devote time every day to study or review material, you will thank yourself some finals week

Your time in college are such formative years, I know it can be overwhelming being on your own for the first time in a new place while trying to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. Just know that it's okay to not know what you're doing, the truth is no one does. Try to enjoy this time in your life, pursue your interests, learn so much, meet amazing people and HAVE FUN!
