Before going off to college, I had never shared a room with ANYONE else, so college was quiet a wake up call going from my personal bedroom to a shared room + bathroom with 2 other girls. Living with room mates taught me a lot of things, but there were also some things I wish I had known before going into it all. Things like: whats normal to expect, what’s unusaual, + things that make the transition easier. So I’ve put together this post today to hopefully do that for you.

Advice for Seniors Choosing a College: My Story
I was one of those people who had no idea where they were going to go to college their senior year of high school. It felt like everyone around me knew where they were going and what they were gonna do. And that overwhelmed me so much.
To be honest, when I walked onto my college campus, I did not get ‘the feeling’ everyone talks about: we were actually late to the tour and a bit stressed out. And when I first got to the city of my college, it was not the most welcoming, homey place. Instead it was surrounded by used car lots, run down restaurants and sketchy neighborhoods.
Maybe you’re in the same position I was: trying to decide on a college, feeling stressed out about your decision and trying to seek guidance. I hope my experience can give you some insight and encourage you through your process!
