As someone who wakes up early every day to support my family, works hard to save for college, and is passionate about leadership and business, how can I stay consistent and avoid burnout while chasing my big dreams? What advice do you have for staying focused and motivated when life feels heavy but the goals are important?
I’m a high school senior graduating this May, and I’ve been working hard to prepare for college while also helping my family. Every morning I wake up at 5 AM to take my mom to work before heading to school myself. On top of school, I’m involved in leadership programs like Civic Leadership Academy and the Bank of America Leadership Program because I’m passionate about business, leadership, and making a difference. I’ve also taken on projects like organizing a school supply drive to support other students in my community. Even with these responsibilities, I’m working, saving money, and applying for scholarships to help ease the financial stress of college. Sometimes it feels like I’m juggling so much at once, and I worry about burnout, but I’m committed to my goals. I would love advice from someone who understands what it feels like to carry a lot on their plate while chasing something bigger for themselves and their family. How do you stay consistent, take care of yourself, and keep showing up when the journey gets tough?

How do you keep believing in your long-term goals when your current GPA or academic record doesn’t reflect your effort or ambition? #Spring25
I’m currently a college student working toward a degree in Marketing and plan to transfer to a four-year university next year. I’ve had some rough semesters due to burnout and personal challenges which affected my GPA despite working hard, especially outside the classroom (internships, freelance work, content creation, etc.). I’m trying to stay focused on the bigger picture and keep building toward my career goals, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged sometimes, especially when my transcript doesn’t reflect how much I’ve grown. If you’ve ever had to bounce back from an academic setback, I’d love to know what helped you stay confident and keep moving forward.

How should I go about making friends?
I'm a DoDEA student, meaning I've lived overseas for a majority of my life. My friends are all going to different colleges in different states. I'm nervous to make friends and I'm not really sure how to, especially knowing how big the schools are and the amount of people there will be. My graduating class will be around 45 people so it's a really small school.

As a high-school senior who's graduating a year early, has been taking college classes through duel-enrollment for four years, and heading to my first choice university this fall with a major in Political Science, what should I expect in terms of a shift in workload, if any? I do anticipate an adjustment overall but as far as the actual change in the amount of work I'll be expected to do, I'm curious.
I'm currently sixteen years old, and am graduating from High School a year earlier than my age-mates. I think my time taking college classes in tandem with fulfilling the requirements for my diploma has adequately prepared me for the university workload, but I'm still curious as to what changes I should expect and how to prepare for them.

What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? #Spring25
I am a high school senior. I have decided to pursue a career in Early Childhood education. I have been accepted as a freshman to the college of my choice. Now that I am all set to leave for college, I am nervous because I am somewhat of an introvert. What steps should I take during my freshman year to ensure I am on the right track? Is there someone on the college campus that I should stay in contact with to help me sign up for the right classes? Is there an office or group that I should familiarize myself with if I need to sign up to get a tutor? How do I become a member of a study group if I don't know anyone else on campus? #Spring25

Lake MaryHow will I do in college?
I am a high school student who will be attending college in the fall of 2025 and I am very curious about how college differs from high school. I know the basics like I won't have 7 hour school days 5 days a week anymore but how is the workload compared to high school? I am also curious about how difficult it is to get into grad school and if that is much different than undergrad school. I plan on majoring in linguistics and want to go into an SLP masters program but don't know how difficult it is to do that. I am also curious about how difficult it is to get private student loans. Going to an out of state school will cost me a lot of money and federal student loans will not cover the amount it will cost me to go to college so I am curious about the difficulty of being approved for private student loans.
