The Smith Sisters on Surviving College 101!

I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in May of 2015 with my bachelor of arts degree in general business management. Graduating from college was one of the proudest moments in my life. And now five years later, it's my younger sister's turn. She will be graduating December 2020 with her bachelor of arts degree in general business management from Southeastern Louisiana University as well. However, our journey to university success was not an easy task nor was it the same. I was more of the go to class and study in dorm type student, while my sister was the social butterfly. With out combined nine years of university experience, my sister and I have a few tips and tricks on how to survive college life. Below are my list of tips and my sister's tips can be found on her website in the link below.
