ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Iva.

I’m somewhere between school/college life and “real life,” and honestly? It’s messy, weird, and exciting all at once.

It’s where life starts throwing you curveballs emotionally, socially, financially. No one gives you a user manual.  So, here’s mine: 11 brutally honest things I wish someone told me before my first day. 1. You won't magically "find yourself" on Day-1. Instagram makes it look like everyone finds their vibe and besties in the first week. Reality? You might feel like a total outsider at first.
