PCC Survival Guide: Your Ultimate Guide To Your First Week At College

Mockup

College is right around the corner, and to anyone who’s nervous about August 31, let me tell you: I totally know what it feels like. I’d be lying if I said that the first few days aren’t stressful and overwhelming. But everyone feels it, and you are not alone!

To help with the chaos and give you an idea of what to expect, I created a short book as a guide to navigate your first weekend on campus. It’s a project I wanted to do even as a freshman, but I finally got my chance to make it a reality during my last semester of grad school, where I spent an entire class on making it as useful and practical as I could.

No I’m Not Dead, and Yes Something Cool Is Coming

It’s been a crazy year/two years/some extended period of time, and I’m still waiting to wake up and hear that the pandemic is over.

That said! I wanted to drop back on and let you know that despite the blog being pretty scarce in the last months, I’m excited to get some more posts up (including a new semester review video that’s been long overdue).

I’ve also recently graduated with my master’s degree, so while I won’t be on campus as often as I used to be, I’ll still be visiting for welcome weekend and some holidays! If you’re curious about what I’ve been up to lately and where I am now, check out my life update on my personal website.

Now for the cool part. I wanted to give you a head’s up, because tomorrow I’ll be sharing a project I’ve been working on that I’m super excited about (maybe it can double as a peace offering for being MIA for months). It’s something incoming freshmen will hopefully really appreciate, and I’ve literally spent dozens and dozens of hours getting it ready for everyone!

In the meantime, I’ll leave a bit of a hint below. See you tomorrow!
