My name is Zara, and I’m so happy to see you here on my blog, Being College Savvy.

Regardless of if you’re struggling to find balance between your studies and social life, managing finances on a student budget, or seeking guidance on how excel academically, this blog is here to empower you every step of the way.

When I’m not writing on my blog here, I love volunteering in my community and spending time alone.
