The Essence

Since my college career is coming to a close, I’ve had time to reminisce about everything the experience as a whole has taught me.  Learning to communicate with professors, landlords, and roommates, dealing with the stresses that come from group projects, the dreaded finals week, and having more homework than you ever thought would be possible, learning how to cook on a budget, and balancing social life with school work are just a few of the woes that we as college students get caught up in. Although it may be overwhelming most days, I’ve come to the realization that I can take control and tackle each day with confidence.  

YOU CAN SURVIVE TOO.

The essence of this blog, “tips and trades of the college and post-college life,” is designed to give you a boost when that crazy roommate of yours is about to put you over the edge or when you need a fast recipe, but the rest of your weekly budget was used for utilities. I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, but I’ve survived this long, so I think that merits a little bit of credit.  

College is certainly an adventure, so welcome to the ride of your life.
