Introducing the Debut Release in the Big Sister Guides Series!

"Your Big Sister's Guide to Surviving College" (Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing, Inc.) is an insightful map to help girls navigate the journey through life as a college student. told in a "big sister to little sister" manner.
About ten years ago, I wrote a freshman year college survival guide for my little sister that I presented to her when she moved into her dorm room for the first time. This amateur, Kinko's produced spiral bound book contained advice on every aspect and scenario of what a young girl can expect in college and how to handle herself. My material was largely based on the experiences and sometimes the mistakes made by me and my friends. I recently resurrected the piece to bring it to all college-bound young ladies.
I remember what i t was like having to learn the ‘hard way’ about life on campus and life in general. For many girls, going away to college is literally a crash course on becoming a woman and being completely responsible for yourself. My goal is to ‘soften the blow’ a bit and help young ladies learn life’s lessons armed with common sense and a little big sister wisdom.

Spring Term Cleaning

Packing for your freshman year of college was probably very exciting and overwhelming.
If you missed all of the talk-show segments and didn’t get a chance to read that “back-to-school” article on what and how to pack for college, my guess is you took EVERYTHING except your bed (which you actually tried to figure out how that would work).
You are smiling aren’t you? I know you are because it’s true. How do I know, I did it myself when I went to school. I treated going off to college as if I was never to return. Low and behold I never entertained the thought that maybe I would have to move out someday.
Well, now you look around at the (pardon me for saying) junk that you have accumulated on top of the stuff you brought with you and well… it’s probably a bit cramped. Good news! Winter break is upon you and unless you are going skiing or to the Caribbean, odds are that you are going back home. Your first extended vacation from college-land is the perfect time to re-assess, re-group, and pare down… time for some Spring Term Cleaning.
