Dear Diary #3: COLLEGE ADVICE EDITION

Hannah Elise
About this episode
30 | Happy back-to-school season to those who celebrate! I am now two years post-college graduation, but I still miss back-to-school season and wanted to make a small contribution (and feel included) :') 

I feel that I accumulated a lot of knowledge during my college years that had nothing to do with academics, so today I want to share what I learned so you can avoid making the same mistakes as I did.

This week, I'm sharing my best advice and tips about college (and school in general). I'm covering topics like high school vs. college, college admissions advice, dealing with homesickness, getting comfortable and making friends in a new environment, school/life balance, my GOLDEN RULES for time management and mitigating stress, studying tips, and advice on transferring. 

As you can TELL, this is a long one, so clean your room, go on a drive, or just relax and let's hang out. <3
