Hello! I loved your post of college life and I was just wondering, what if you don’t go to your dream college or you don’t have the money to afford a bachelor’s degree from where you want, are the prospects better when you apply for your masters? and also, is a degree really worth all the trouble? I mean I love studying and all but sometimes seeing I don’t perform as well as I wish it gets me down, any tip?

So I’m starting college applications early, which gives me all the more time to completely freak out about everything. Anyways, I run a pretty successful writing blog (I think) and I wanted to put it on the application since it’s really important to me. Do you think I should include my URL? Because there are some expletives used in my writing (for a purpose, nothing is thrown in just for the heck of it) and I’m afraid that might hurt my chances. What’s your opinion on this?

The good thing about starting early is that you can take your time and make sure you do everything how you want it to! Use that as a comforting thing, not a stressful thing.

Hello! I was wondering if you could answer some of my questions about the college experience to help me with my series. I feel asking about someone’s actual experience is a better, more personalized source, so thank you for taking the time to help me! (This most likely will be divided into two parts due to length.) Feel free to ignore any question you feel is too personal. I’ll understand! What are some difficulties a college freshman may face, and how would one overcome these difficulties?… (1)
