College feels different than anything you've done before — and that gap between high school and college catches a lot of students off guard. In this episode, Melanie gets specific about what actually helps in your first semester: how to use your syllabus, when to ask for help, how belonging gets built, and why the students who thrive aren't the ones who had it all figured out from day one. Whether you're arriving in the fall or already a few weeks in, this one is for you.
