College can be one of the greatest experiences of a person's life filled with not only higher education, but life-long friends and personal growth. Join University of California, Riverside pre-medical student Brandon Nguyen each week as he talks about current events, academic life, self care, professional development and more! If you're a student, need an escape from your work, and want to hear some tips and life advice this show is for you.
With 3+ years of experience living away from home and my family, there are SOO many things I've learned and SOO many ways I've grown! In this episode, I take a look at my IG followers' experiences with living away from home, talk about my own experiences, and tell you why I think moving out is a great choice (if given the chance ofc).

2. Remove distractions
3. Set a timer for each task

Ep. 5: Why I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions

Ep. 3: The Importance of Mindset
Have you ever thought to yourself, "I'm so busy because I need to do X and Y to get to Z and now I'm stressed." I think we're all too familiar with having those negative feelings towards one of our many obligations in life. What if we could change the way we thought about our everyday responsibilities and instead enjoy them? In this episode, we talk about why I believe mindset is one of the most important aspects of living a happy life and how you can implement it in your own life.
