A very friendly reminder for you!

Thinking back to my own college days, I remember feeling both excited and nervous. Balancing classes, homework, and making friends was tough, and living with a new roommate brought its own challenges! I wish I had College Bound back then. This book gives simple tips on managing school and social life. The part about self-care really stood out because I often forgot to take care of my mental and physical health but wanted to show up for others so I could build my social circle. If you’re starting college or know someone who is, this book can be helpful!
