Straight Up College Life Unfiltered

My name is Caleb and I am a senior at USC Upstate, graduating in May 2025. As I reflect on my college journey, I realize how I needed a blog to help me navigate everything from academics to life at Upstate. In this blog, I'll share helpful tips and insights to help you succeed in college and beyond.
My Story
I started my journey at USC Upstate as undeclared major. After my freshman semester I was encouraged to declare a major. At the time I was really still unsure of what I wanted to do with my life but after talking with friends and my mom I was encouraged to do what I love and that was music. I had my share of challenges that I started to second guess myself and decided my junior year to major in Interdisciplinary Studies. I put too much pressure on myself that I was almost to the point of giving up, but I also had come to far to do that. I say this in hopes that my story will inspire you to never give up. It is okay if you find yourself needing to pivot before you find your niche in this world. While my path here has been a bit unconventional, it's shaped me into who I am today; an inspiring songwriter and music producer with a deep passion for connecting with others. I hope this space helps you find your footing, become a better version of yourself, and to know that there are always resources and people to support you. College is not just about academics it is also about personal growth. I want to share my journey of persevering with the help of others and resources that was available to me through the school.
