(RA)nts

With Lily Brown

I’m 23, back on campus (yes, again), living in a first-year dorm for the third year in a row. By day, I’m a grad student. By night (and honestly, all hours), I’m your go-to RA—part mentor, part crisis manager, part hallway big sister. This blog is my little corner of the internet to share what I’ve learned over five years of college life from finding help when you’re overwhelmed to navigating homesickness, friendships, awkward roommate moments, and everything in between. Think of it as your unofficial survival guide to college—full of tips, real talk, and everything I wish someone told me before move-in day.
