reminiscing on my first week of college + one berry big overthinker

happy back to school week! today on the introvert's guide to the college rollercoaster ride, olivia discusses her first thoughts on the academic side of college, meeting professors, how her nerves actually forced her to talk in class, the necessity of finding a way to calm yourself down when feeling overwhelmed, the importance of establishing ways to cope with stress, advice on how to not overdo it as well as how to make the most of your college career. she goes over what it was like sliding down a tarp slick with laundry detergent on a pool float and how her roommate ended up in the hospital. she also includes a psa to all freshmen: it's always good to do your best, but it's ok if you're not THE best! she ends off on a comedic note with some of her best "mini stories" from over the years, including dyeing her hair for the first time, setting a chicken sandwich on fire, her mermaids obsession, her cringey musical.ly days, and taking her dog tubing on the lake. get ready for lots of nostalgia, enjoy!
