You just graduated high school; freshman year of college is about to start. Problem is: You don’t know what to major in or in my case what you actually want to major in won’t pay the bills. It’s crazy to think that we are supposed to have our whole lives planned out at 18, but surprise surprise of course you don’t, at least I didn’t.

"This week was the first time I worked over 50 hours at my big girl job and by the end of the week I was hands down the happiest person in the world.  I love what I do SO much that on Fridays I already can’t wait for it to be Monday again! Ideally, that is what everyone wants in life and I am so grateful to have it. Question is... how do you get there?

"As a freshman, I was overwhelmed. You enter a world with not much direction but so many decisions– with studying, working, applying and yes, even partying!

Soon, I realized I needed a system to manage everything. I began to test a few apps/software that soon became essential in managing everything. Here are my favorites:

"How relevant is studying abroad? Timelessly relevant. Studying abroad has been a topic of discussion in every interview I’ve had to date. I work in media, an industry that evolves quicker than we blink. Having a pulse on the global media landscape is key to my day-to-day. Grasping that landscape is to the credit of my study abroad experience.

"Many undergraduates decide that they want to take a gap year before they continue their future studies or enter industry to pursue a job. A gap year (or years) is considered any amount of time that an individual is pursuing a short-term activity before going on to graduate school or a full-time job.

"Working through college was never much of a question for me. In fact, I’ve been working since I was a 14-year-old high school freshmen washing dishes and making salads at a pizza joint in Wyandotte, Michigan. I’ve bussed tables, washed dishes, and prepped salad bars all through high school. My father taught me the value of hard work and told me that once I turned 18, he would help me get a job with Northwest Airlines at the Orlando airport as a way to get into the airline business. I couldn’t contain my excitement. I was finally within reach of my dream: working for the airlines.

"When making the decision to go to graduate school, I took into account a wide variety of options. Field, professor, and funding were the most important variables. I had already been conducting undergraduate research, and this gave me an edge for knowing which fields I would be interested in. I was able to create a list of about twenty schools that I considered applying to. This later became a list of a top five due to budget constraints. Applying to graduate school ended up being about $100 per school after averaging it all out. I recommend applying to all the schools you are interested in.

"Standardized tests were bad enough to worry about in high school with the SAT and ACT but as it turns out, there are even more options to choose from in your undergraduate career. Since a bulk of my experience with professional level tests (GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc) lies with the MCAT, I’ll answer this from a pre-med perspective and then try to generalize to a few key points.
