Hey everyone, it's Tiffany.
So as most of you know I just graduated high school and I'm starting my first semester in college. It's pretty terrifying. Moving away from home, letting go, meeting new friends and people, possible new love interests, new opportunities, the list is endless.
I've never really been away from home before. I mean for a week for camp and girls state but several weeks away from home? Never. Not seeing my mom everyday or dad or siblings. That's crazy.
Now the process of getting to this point. It's so stressful. So everyone listen to your parents. Most of the time they know what they are talking about.
A few things I wish I would of done differently are first, scholarships. Apply to them all. Literally. All. Of. Them. Second, if your mom says, "you need to call the school and keep up with everything and make sure your application process is good." Listen to her and call the school. This is my biggest regret. I'm now starting in the spring versus the fall at my first choice college due to one phone call. Don't let this happen to you. Third, don't let anyone tell you to do something that you honestly don't want to do. College is all you. Not your parents. So make the right choices. And don't settle for anything other than what you absolutely want. Other wise, what's the point? You'll end up just screwing up what you had going for yourself and possibly ruining all of your college career together. And in the end it's not worth it. Fourth, get your FAFSA done as soon as you can. I did mine over Christmas break on the first day 2015-2016 college students could. And it made me ahead of everyone. So get it done as soon as you are able to.
I know college is terrifying to think about. But I hope I can teach you guys or at least take yall with me on my college adventures and make it less terrifying for you when you start college.
Talk to you soon!!
XOXO, Tiff!!
