The Ultimate List of College Resources
Finding resources in college can be really hard…
If you don’t know some who knows someone, it can feel like you can’t get anything done. As a first-generation, college student I had to figure out how to navigate college from SCRATCH and what I found is that apps and websites can be my personal assistant.
I’ve figured out how to create a budget, find fun things to do for ZERO dollars, and also how to stay healthy and generally sane during college. I’ve been there and I know how hard it is to navigate your way around finding the best resources so I created a list of FREE and inexpensive resources that are complete lifesavers. Don’t worry I won’t mention the obvious ones like Google suite.
