The Ultimate ‘How To Do College’ List shares tips, tricks and hacks for getting the most out of your college experience. From how to become a morning person and dorm room decor, to what to do about doctor appointments and student discounts, I hope this guide helps you have the best year ever.
Since the middle of my daughter’s senior year, we’ve been in full-on college prep mode. She’s now a freshman in college and thanks to the interwebs, we were able to find the answers to just about any question we had. How to organize a dorm room? Check. What kind of discounts can my college id get me? Check. What should I take with me and what should I leave at home? Check and check. There’s a plethora of college information out there and I’ve rounded up a bunch of it all in one place.
Before we get started with the list, one question we had about college was what about doctor visits and other appointments? I was chatting with a friend who’s had several kids go through college. She said they always end up squeezing all of those appointments, like the dentist, together when their student was home for a break. That doesn’t sound like much fun!
Thankfully there’s a clinic on campus, so if my daughter gets sick, she’s just a few steps away from getting the care she needs. I was also excited to hear about YoDerm, which is the easiest way to get a prescription acne medication from a dermatologist. You don’t even have to leave your dorm room! My daughter went through the process and was really happy with it. Here’s how it works:
For only $59 (Get $10 off using this link), you can get a personalized treatment plan from a dermatologist. My daughter received her plan within a few days and her prescription was sent right over to her pharmacy of choice. It was incredibly easy, plus there’s a 60-day money back guarantee. If you’ve been wanting/needing to see a dermatologist, I highly recommend using YoDerm for fast, effective and easy prescription acne medications. I know college can be stressful, which can do a number on your skin.
To get started, go hered for your $10 off. And don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about the process!
