What to do if you are limited in opportunities?
Hi, my area is not well known for opportunities and events so as a student, I had to travel by plane or boat if I really do wanted to go such events. I already did once when I used up my internship allowance to go to a conference last year and rode by plane, but I want to go this year and plane tickets are very expensive. And as for remote opportunities, it's also limited as well since most are in-person meetups. So I leverage on webinars which only comes by sometimes. I tried to change or get exposure as much as possible, but it seems like I'm about to give up on my or hopeless in my situation and most internships and also webinars and from other areas.

How do I get excited for college next year?
I am an incoming freshman at a smaller university in New England, halfway across the country from where I live. When I was able to visit a couple months ago I loved the school but recently I have been feeling un-excited about going to go to school there. I've been seeing a lot on social media about my almost school(Mizzou), which is the complete opposite of this school. It's been making me feel like I made the wrong decision in choosing what school I am going to and I've been trying to get myself to change this feeling but haven't been able to. There isn't a lot online about my school, and what is there is promotional videos, or TikTok's of people hating on it. Additionally, I have found it impossible to connect with other incoming freshman at this school and the entire enrollment process this far has been really bad for me. Are there any ways to make myself feel excited about the school I chose, because right now all I want to do is transfer.

I want to do a lot in college! Is it possible to enroll myself intramural sports, major in biology/neurosciences, minor in Chinese literature/culture, be part of Greek life and also work/part-time job?
I'm super excited for college, but because of the major I want to pursue, I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to do everything! Is college life mainly studying? I've heard from multiple people that college is going to be the best time of your life, but they also say that high school does NOTHING to prepare you for college. I'm super stressed about what life would be like, and if I would be okay balancing everything? And one of my other questions would be: would you recommend me drop an activity...or? I'm not enrolled in college yet, but am applying soon, so I have no idea on what life would be like on campus! #studentlife #college #science #stress
