Surviving College Life is every student’s guide to the ins and outs of college. If you’re wondering how to get along with a roommate, have fun on a student’s budget, handle the basics of living on your own, make it through college classes, and even figure out what to do when you graduate, then you’ve come to the right place! Here you’ll find tips about relationships, finances, productivity, studying, health, and beginning your life as an adult.
Who is Jamie? (…and why should I read what she blogs about?)
I’m a recent graduate of UC San Diego, where I worked hard to graduate early. I’m writing this blog for college students
because I had to learn a lot of things “the hard way,” and I hope that my wide range of experiences in college will help you make a smoother transition from high school to college, and then on to grad school or a career.
My college experience was pretty diverse: I have lived with good and bad roommates, taken all kinds of classes, had several different part-time jobs, taken out loans, and won a scholarship to help me pay for school. I spent my first two years without a car. I have lived on and off campus, in a dorm room and in an apartment. As for my relationship status, during my college years I was single, dating, in a serious relationship, and I even got married just before starting my senior year of college. In my junior year of college, I found out that my Dad had cancer, and had to strike a better balance between school, work, and family.
I’m now working my first job, at a college planning company called Fox College Funding, a company that helps families find creative ways to reduce college costs (and I wish I’d known about them when I was in school–oops!).
All in all, college was a huge learning process, and I hope my experiences will make your path to graduation a little easier to navigate.
I’d love to hear from you, so don’t be afraid to contact me with any ideas, thoughts, questions, or comments. You can reach me via email or by simply leaving a comment (I read and respond to both!).
