We want to make sure that EVERYONE makes it across the stage. So decided to drop a few gems on making it to graduation.

1/
1. Prioritize your Mental Health

It almost goes without saying, but things like academic stress, homesickness, and alienation can make it really hard to cross the finish line! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏁" title="Karierte Flagge" aria-label="Emoji: Karierte Flagge">

A little self care goes a long way. Remember college is a marathon, not a sprint. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎓" title="Doktorhut" aria-label="Emoji: Doktorhut">

2. Your Physical Health Matters Too

A healthy diet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍎" title="Roter Apfel" aria-label="Emoji: Roter Apfel"> and regular exercise https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋️" title="Gewichthebende Person" aria-label="Emoji: Gewichthebende Person"> can be tough to maintain in college, but it’s necessary!

And as exciting as all-nighters might sound, they take a toll on your body https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😴" title="Schlafendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schlafendes Gesicht">

3. Financial Stress is Real

Almost 60% of college students worry about finances in some form https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💰" title="Geldsack" aria-label="Emoji: Geldsack">

The money side of college can honestly be one of the toughest to manage, but work study, scholarships, and food assistance programs can come through clutch! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤑" title="Gesicht mit Geld-Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Geld-Mund">

4. Have a Safety Plan when going out

28% of college students are concerned about excessive drinking https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍺" title="Bierkrug" aria-label="Emoji: Bierkrug"> and 14% of students are concerned about walking alone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚶🏾‍♂️" title="Gehender Mann (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Gehender Mann (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

Drink water https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💧" title="Tröpfchen" aria-label="Emoji: Tröpfchen">, travel in groups https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👫" title="Mann und Frau halten Händchen" aria-label="Emoji: Mann und Frau halten Händchen">, and have a plan for how you’ll get back home!

5/
5. Believe in Yourself!

At least 20% of students will experience imposter syndrome at some point in their college career.

You’re a rockstar https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">, so surround yourself with people who will remind you of your greatness if you ever forget.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">
