College students do not stop needing support just because they made it to campus.
For some young adults, these first few weeks of school are exciting. For others, they are quietly trying to figure out independence, pressure, relationships, academics, money, identity, loneliness, confidence, and the question everybody keeps asking:
What’s next? What are you going to do with your life?
That is a lot to carry while you are still learning yourself.
One thing I want young adults to hear from me this semester is this:
You do not have to have your entire life figured out because you picked a major.
College is not only preparation for what you will do.
It is also part of discovering who you are, what matters to you, what you value, and how you want to show up in this world.
Give yourself permission to learn both.
🎓 Student affairs leaders, college access programs, wellness teams, first year programs, and campus organizations, if your students need conversations around mindset, confidence, purpose, transition, and emotional wellness, bring Coach Yolanda to your campus.
📩 Let’s create something your students will actually remember.
