We all want to know the secret to success, right? I’m here to tell you that I might have found that secret.
Starting college is a completely scary and overwhelming thing. I get it. I’ve been there. We’ve pretty much all been there. If you’re starting school in a few weeks and you’re beginning to panic, stop right there, take a moment, and BREATHE. Because I have the cure for your first day of college jitters. And it comes in the form of an eBook.
Sara is a college blogger (like me) and she knows your struggles. She knows them so well that she decided to write an eBook about it. She realized that there are just so many things that go into the American college experience (can I get an Amen?!) and she doesn’t want anyone else to be as overwhelmed as she was when she first came to college.
Sara’s eBook is an 80-page guide to every aspect of the college process from motivation to organization to studying for exams. And it’s written by a current college student. Sara is about to enter her senior year at a liberal arts college in Massachusetts after studying abroad for a year at Oxford University. Her eBook is designed to be easy to put into practice, both for students who are new to college and for those have been in school for a while.
I read the eBook and, let me tell you, it’s a life changer. The easy to read eBook format allows you to take it anywhere and literally use it as your guide book no matter where you are on campus. The best part about this book, though, is that Sara keeps it relatable and encourages you to try the exercises along with her. For example, in the first chapter of the book (“Motivation”), she talks about motivation charts. And she encourages you to make one as well. Here’s mine (sorry about my terrible handwriting):
In the eBook, Sara also gives you tips on taking notes which is something I’ve really struggled with in the past. I’d either write too much or not enough. And I’ve been trying to figure out what the best happy medium is. I’m also one of those students that never really studied in high school so, when I came to college, I also had to figure out how to study. Sara has such great study tips and just reading this eBook made me feel 1,000x more motivated.
After reading this book, I’m SO ready for this semester to start. I feel like I can take on anything and everything!
Even though I’m a sophomore in high school, I’m still pretty stressed about college so I cannot wait to read this book!

I wish I had a guide book when I was in school. Like you, I didn’t study in high school so college was a big slap in the face at first!
