[NABS-L] Starting College, I'm Scared!

[Brianna Rigsbee]

Hi Alisha,
I hope you’re well. College is a great new chapter to be starting, and I’m happy that you will be taking that plunge. I’m not usually good at this whole advice thing, but I am giving this a shot...
My number one tip would be that when you’re first starting college, it’s important for you to reach out to every resource you can. While it can be very daunting, please don’t be afraid to speak your mind and reach out to people, whether they be the people in your disability office, your professors, or even the friends that you make. Let them be your strength, your sounding board.
If you want, please feel free to message me off-list via email or via text message at the info in my signature. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Best,
Bri
