College Freshman Tips

When I moved to college I was very excited and also very nervous. I chose a school that was five and a half hours away from home and I didn’t know anyone. Here are some tips that helped me when I was a freshman!

1.    Join Clubs.

It doesn’t matter what club it is. As long as you join one that sounds fun, exciting, interesting, whatever! I guarantee you will find people in that club that have the same interests as you.

2.    Talk To People In Your Classes.

Don’t choose the seat in the back corner. (I did that and made zero friends in my classes.) Sit next to someone who you think looks like a nice person and introduce yourself. You won’t die, I promise.

I have been a subscriber of Birchbox for about two years and I honestly have a love/hate relationship with it. Sometimes the boxes are really great and I love everything in them, but sometimes I don’t like anything in my box. The box is just $10 a month and you can sign up for a monthly subscription at birchbox.com.

Introduction

Hello, blog world! My name is Emily Mangano. I am 21 years old and about to start my senior year in college. I plan to graduate in May 2015 (no, I don’t know what I’m doing after) with a bachelor’s degree in fashion merchandising and a minor in fashion media.

I have written for CollegeFashionista.com for the past year and a half, which has helped me realize my love of writing about things I’m interested in, not just school papers, which yes, I oddly do enjoy writing. I specifically love writing about fashion, beauty, skincare and anything pop culture. Because I stick to writing about fashion on CollegeFashionista, I decided to start this blog to write about my other interests.

I find inspiration in everything from music to travel and runway shows to walking around campus. I plan to write about whatever topic I feel like and whoever wants to read it is more than welcome to. I hope whoever decides to read my posts will enjoy them!

Look out for posts about college and sorority recruitment tips coming this September!
