Before the fall semester began, some students were already dealing with housing still under construction. Could this have been prevented? Take a listen!

The summer term differs from the fall and spring terms in several ways. It may require changes some students aren't eager to make. Attending college during the summer is voluntary for many first and second year students before declaring a major or working on major courses. Self-evaluate to determine if it is a good move for you mentally and emotionally.

For the folks that think some required high school courses don't apply to their livess today. But there are instances where we use algebra, geometry, etc. more than we know. Take a listen!

With the 2021 stimulus bill passing in Congress, the student loan forgiveness subject is included. While direct cancellation is not mentioned, forgiveness of student loan is now non-taxable! While this a great thing, there's another concern worth addressing.

College can be a rewarding experience, but it can be a costly one as well. Calling it a "good debt" only works if one understands that what they will pay is less than the starting salary of their career upon graduation. Thus, student loan debt is important to weigh, for that amount can quickly grow higher than one's pay. Research and evaluate the right school for the career you want.

Just as we customize and add accessories to our wardrobe, we can do that to college majors! You may have the same field of study as another person, but what is custom to you may only fit you!

"What do you want for...?" This question comes around whenever it's holiday, birthday, or even graduation season. So when asked by family members and friends, college students should consider their needs first and/or what they may need in their near future. Things like rent paid, gift cards for gas or food, new textbook or supplies, new appliance in new apartment, etc. should be considered before spending on random miscellaneous items.

We hold credentials in our working world--degrees, certifications, board affiliations, etc., and they are attached to our names. When communicating via email, letters, and just regular signature, is it possible we are using them incorrectly at times? Should it matter? After all, they are ours, right?

At times, you may have a busy schedule, and have many exams on the same day or within a day of each other. You can sometimes feel the need to sacrifice the time and energy for one class and put that into another. Listen to my story and the lesson I learned from it.

Just like eyesight, sometimes as a student, your path can be blurry. Having the right corrective lenses can get you on track and enhance your vision.
