EP 057: When It's OK (and sometimes BEST) to Transfer to a Different College, with Current Transfer Student, Darby
Some of my favorite takeaways from this episode:
-How sometimes society, and colleges force you to pick a major (spoiler alert - you don't have to do anything for the rest of your life, let me know if you want more on this!)
-What it's like to not feel smart enough to be in college
-When Darby knew that she wanted to transfer
-Why she stuck it out for an entire year.
-It's ok to change your mind!
-How she felt going through the process
One of my favorite quotes:
"Everybody is scared. Somebody has to stand up and say hi, or no-one is going to have friends" -Darby
You can connect with Darby on Instagram @darbylogann
We mention a few things I wanted to share here:
-Darby mentioned Cappex: https://www.cappex.com
-I mentioned The School of Greatness Podcast by Lewis Howes - you should definitely check it out if you haven't yet.
-Transferology - A website to determine if your credits will transfer to a different school. https://www.transferology.com/index.htm

Episode 53: When a double major or minor is the right (or wrong) choice
In this episode, I share things to consider when you are trying to decide if you should add that Double Major or minor. Sometimes it's not the best choice! Other times, it makes so much sense! Bottomline - YOU get to decide. Just make sure you are thinking through the decision.
Consider:
-Time
-Money
-Classes you will need to take
-Your goals!
Listen for more insight :)

Episode 048:Discovering Your Strengths in College with Career Development Advisor Kristin Williams
Highlights from the episode:
-Red flags you are in the wrong major
-Understanding your personal values
-Saying yes to the important things
-Using your strengths in a variety of careers
-Strengths can help you explore and bring more self-awareness
Memorable Quotes:
-"When we get to know our strengths, it opens up doors of possibilities"
-"I didn't let myself switch (majors) because I felt like I had something to prove to myself... maybe to my family"
-"I would show up to things and I wouldn't be myself because I would be so stressed out... But I would be there because I said I would be there."
The only recommendation Kristin had for finding a job - Don't put so much pressure on finding one thing.
