5 Ways College Students Can Save Money in a Practical Way
College is no doubt the most money-consuming time of your life. Throughout the whole process, there is so much "free money" that students overlook, as well as opportunities to not pay anything at all. Many websites, apps, and even your school have opportunities to save money that you may not even know exist.

What It's Like Going Back to College in Your 20s
Have you heard someone say, "it's too late for me to go back to college, I'm too old now?" I've heard this plenty of times, usually accompanied by, "which is why I want you to go back to school." Trust me, I get it. It's scary watching someone do something you did that you now regret and wish you could change, so naturally you want to help that person not make your same mistakes. But, here's the thing: we're not the same people. Who's to say that if I never set foot in another college I'd end up as a nobody at a dead-end job? Who's to say that if I never went back to college I wouldn't be able to run my own company and create something amazing? Who's to say that if I never went back to college I wouldn't have a good life?

To the Person I Was Four Months Ago
To the Person I Was Four Months Ago, You’re a day early to class; I figured I should give you that heads up to save you the embarrassment you felt on that day sitting in a classroom with a teacher that isn’t yours halfway through the period ask who you are. Don’t worry, you make it to the right class the next day, and with a teacher who is a lot more relaxed and considerate in your perspective.

Adjusting to My First Year of College
The wait felt like forever...I was going on my last year of high school and I just couldn't wait to get out. It felt like the longest four years of my life and I was ready for a new start with friends and an introduction to what was going to be my future career. Once summer hit the time flew by, and before I knew it I was moving into my first home away from my family. Little side note, I am super close with my family so this transition was HARD. (As it usually is).

Predatory For-Profit Colleges Can't Deliver on Empty Promises
Imagine being out of school for four years and trying to decide what to do with your life. You have had many interests over the years from criminal justice, graphic design, and digital photography. You've always felt a void in your life, like something was always missing, and you wanted to achieve that piece of paper that was your ticket to your dream job.

Welcome to College!
Starting a new school can always be difficult, but there's something about starting college that is infinitely more terrifying. It's often your first time living on your own, you're living in a new place, and there is much more freedom to choose. At least, that's what I thought going into college. The truth isn't quite what I thought it was. I should preface this, however, with the fact that I am going to city college currently and plan on transferring to a four year school later, so some things may be slightly different than for university students. Still, many things will hold true for both city college and university students.
