💸 MONEY MONDAY
This Week’s Theme: The First Quarter Matters – Here’s Your Game Plan
Imagine this:
You’re in the middle of a big football game. The coach hands you a thick playbook — full of moves that could get you down the field faster. But instead of using it, you run the same one or two plays over and over, ignoring the rest.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
That’s what it’s like when students don’t take advantage of all the free and low-cost resources on campus.
Career centers, tutoring labs, leadership programs, student discounts — they’re already part of your “team,” but they can’t help you win if you don’t step onto the field.
That’s why this week’s feature is your:
🏆 Winning Playbook: First 30 Days of the Semester
Inside, you’ll find:
Offense: How to make early moves that set you up for success.
Defense: Ways to protect your time, money, and energy.
Special Teams: Bonus opportunities like scholarships, events, and leadership roles.
Find Your Teammates: Zig Ziglar–inspired tips for building your support network.
