    Georgia scholarship options beyond Zell Miller — seriously there are more than you think

    Can we please have a real conversation about Georgia scholarships that isn't just "apply for Zell Miller" because I feel like that's the only advice anyone ever gives and it helps exactly the students who already have a 3.7 and a 1200 SAT For everyone else — which is most of us — there are...

    Student job hunting in Georgia — what's worth your time and what really isn't

    Spent most of my first year at Georgia Tech either broke or working jobs that paid so little relative to the time cost that I might as well have been broke, so I want to share some things I've figured out for anyone earlier in this process 🍑 The on-campus research assistant positions at Tech...

    I’m in a bit of a moral pickle here and I really need some outside perspectives. I’m a junior majoring in Political Science, and I’ve got this final paper for my "Theories of Justice" class that’s worth like 40% of my grade. It’s on Rawls and Nozick, and honestly, my brain is just fried. I work...

    1000 word essay that almost ended me (and how i survived) 😅

    Last week I had a 1000 word essay due and I literally did not start it until 11pm the night before. Like, I knew about it for two whole weeks but somehow the deadline snuck up on me and suddenly I was staring at a blank Google doc with my cursor just blinking at me judgmentally. You know that...
