It’s been a while since I’ve been done with college now, and I need to talk about something today: getting a holistic college education. You may have read the word holistic before, it’s usually attached to something describing the college admissions process or health. I am here to talk about the term holistic as it relates to the college education you get.

You see, I was never one of those students who obsessed over my grades. I studied, I went to class, I worked hard, but I didn’t obsess. Besides doing all of the standard education things I also: joined a sorority, hung out with my friends, spent many a night hanging on to pizza and watching Netflix, etc. You see, I decided that grades weren’t the end all be all. I never did all-nighters for class, and I didn’t obsess over making every single paper pitch perfect.

Grades are important in college, but you shouldn’t focus on them so much that it harms other aspects of your life. Today I am chatting about creating a holistic college education so that you can create an education that matters in college and beyond.
