Wellness is one of the biggest challenges college students face, especially during their first year. 💪✨ From staying active to managing your schedule, these small habits can make a huge difference in how grounded and focused you feel.

Keeping yourself healthy starts with simple, sustainable choices. 🍎 Getting enough sleep, eating regular meals, moving your body, and using campus health resources create a foundation that supports everything else you do academically.

Time management is another major stressor, but it gets easier once you build a routine that fits your lifestyle. 📅 Using a planner, blocking out homework time, and setting reminders can help you stay on top of assignments while still leaving space for fun and rest.

There’s no one right way to stay well in college, it’s all about finding what genuinely supports your mind, body, and daily life. 🌿

Applying to college comes with a lot of questions, and it’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed at the start. ✨ This guide breaks down some of the most common things students ask when they’re beginning the process.

📘 Wondering when to start? Most students benefit from beginning their prep the summer before senior year so they have time to explore schools, outline essays, and organize materials.

🎯 Not sure how many schools to apply to? A list of five to eight schools works for most students, but your balance of reach, match, and safety schools matters just as much as the number.

📚 With test optional policies still in place, SAT and ACT scores can help but only if they genuinely strengthen your application.

✏️ And when it comes to essays, the best topics are the ones that show who you are. Share a story that reflects your growth, perspective, or lived experiences rather than something generic.

College applications don’t have to feel confusing when you understand the basics. You’ve got this. 🎓

Colleges Then vs Now 🕰️

Part 3!

From hands-on trade schools to global research leaders, these colleges show how education evolves with time while staying true to their roots.

🧱 Tuskegee University (Founded 1881)
Once built by its own students under Booker T. Washington’s guidance, Tuskegee began with agriculture and trade programs that empowered Black Americans through self-reliance. Today, it’s a national leader in engineering, veterinary medicine, and bioethics—carrying a legacy of innovation and resilience.

🌉 UC Berkeley (Founded 1868)
Originally focused on agriculture and mining, UC Berkeley was created to serve California’s development. Now, it’s a top-ranked global research university known for activism, sustainability, and breakthroughs in science and technology.

🎓 McDaniel College (Founded 1867)
Founded as Western Maryland College after the Civil War, McDaniel started as a small liberal arts school with classical studies and teacher training. Today, it promotes global learning, customizable majors, and even offers a campus in Budapest.

🕷️ Creepiest College Majors: Part 2 🕷️

Think the creepiest majors stopped at mortuary science? Think again.

Part 2 goes even deeper into the eerie and bizarre. Students of paranormal studies spend nights chasing ghosts, while archaeologists and anthropologists often uncover burial sites, remains, and ancient rituals.

Then there’s entomology and herpetology, which bring students face-to-face with venomous snakes, slimy salamanders, and swarms of insects. And if that’s not enough, majors like genetics, biomedical engineering, and the philosophy of death raise unsettling questions about what it really means to be human.

Finally, for those drawn to the mysterious, parapsychology and cryptography explore everything from psychic powers to secret codes.

🌑 Creepy, fascinating, or both?

🕸️ Creepiest College Majors: Part 1 🕸️

Not all college majors are about sunny campuses and late-night study sessions—some dive headfirst into the unsettling, the morbid, and the just plain bizarre.

From mortuary science and forensic science, where students literally study death and crime, to taxidermy and demonology, where preservation and the paranormal collide… these fields aren’t for the faint of heart.

Even psychology has its darker side when it’s focused on abnormal or forensic cases, and let’s not forget majors like horror studies and mythology, which explore the eerie side of human storytelling and culture.

💀 Would you be brave enough to take one of these?

Advising meetings don’t have to feel overwhelming or one-sided. 🎓

Too often, students leave confused, unsure of their next steps, or just nodding along without really getting clarity. But advising works best when it’s collaborative.

When you prepare with questions, see the meeting as a strategy session, and advocate for your goals, you walk away with more than a checklist, you walk away with a plan.

Advocacy isn’t about being confrontational, it’s about being clear and confident in shaping your own academic journey.

Things that feel “normal” in US colleges… but don’t actually have to be 👀

🎓 Moving out of state, piling on debt, living for campus culture, planning grad school immediately, or entering undecided—it’s all been sold to us as the standard path.

But here’s the truth: there’s no one right way to do college. Staying in-state, choosing community college first, picking a clear major, or deciding not to pursue grad school is just as valid.

You don’t have to take on unnecessary loans or follow the “traditional” path just because everyone else is doing it. Your college journey should fit your life, your goals, and your future.
