You guys, I need to share this little victory because I'm actually buzzing right now. 🎉 I was working on my application essay for my dream university, and I was stuck on this one sentence. I had this powerful idea, but I didn't know how to introduce the final, punchy part of it. Then, out of...

I'm at UGA and have been struggling to find internships. Your post made me realize I've been sleeping on resources right in front of me. I tried GAfutures after reading your post and the career matching tool is actually helpful. I also booked a session with WorkSource Georgia in Athens and...

The "show don't tell" principle is everything. Instead of "she was nervous," I now write "she twisted her ring until it left a red mark." Same information, but the reader feels it. My addition: use sensory details through your character's perspective. In third person limited, you can describe...

I'm a Georgia Southern alum (Hail Southern! 🦅), and now that I'm a few years out and comfortably managing my loan payments, I wanted to share something important with all you current students. Back when I was a freshman in Statesboro, I signed my Master Promissory Note (MPN) as fast as I could...

Hi friends! I'm Taurus, and I'm a recovering procrastinator. 👋 It's been 6 months since my last all-nighter. (Applause please! 👏) Seriously though, when I started college, my essay writing process was a disaster. I would do literally every single one of the things not to do when writing an...

Hey Deepler, I feel your pain! 😫 The "learn today, forget tomorrow" cycle is so real. Your tips are spot on—Anki has been a lifesaver for me too. I'd add: try writing them by hand while saying them out loud. Engaging multiple senses at once seems to help lock them into my brain better. Thanks...

After 3 years of foundation and corporate grant writing, I wanted to break into federal grants. Let me tell you—federal is a whole different beast. That's when I found the Grant Professionals Association's Next Level Federal Grant Training , and it's been transformative . This is a year-long...
