About Me and my Blog
If I'm not out supporting my Duke Blue Devils you will probably find me at a concert with my daughter, travelling or at home snuggled on the couch watching a good movie with our pup in my lap.
I am a planner by nature so I started to prepare early for my child to go to college. Classmates and their parents, coworkers, etc... started to ask me questions about applying, scholarships, dorm items, etc so I decided to make a blog to answer a lot of these questions. Hopefully you will find some of the information helpful. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have further questions. I wish you all well in your college journey.
