‘Save Me, Scene!’: not the imposter among us

“I failed my first two chem quizzes and absolutely bombed my calculus test. I don’t know what to do! I used to be such a good test-taker, and school came easily to me. Now, the imposter syndrome is taking over, and I feel like I’m going to fail at everything. I don’t know what to do or think anymore.”

“Save Me, Scene!”: Don’t wanna be another basic witch

With Halloween (a.k.a. the most important holiday in a college student’s life) just around the corner, I’m feeling concerned about my costume. Distressed about my disfraz. In the wise words of Tina Fey, “In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.”

“Save Me, Scene!”: I’m not old enough for a social life

I am under 21 and hate spending a ridiculous amount of money on Ubers, alcohol, and stupid Pyramid tickets. I don’t really want to get involved with Greek Life, but I still want something that is more focused on a social scene and don’t know how to make this happen. I feel like at other schools, there are still places/events that people under 21 can go to and have fun.

“Save Me, Scene!”: Class (Over)Load

Save Me, Scene!

I count some people I met during the first week among my closest friends, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have met such a wide variety of people I can still wave to, even if our inseparability turned out to just be temporary. But it’s absolutely normal to realize you just might not be perfectly aligned with the very first people you met in college, and it’s really no big deal.
