Welcome back to the podcast! Wow its been a while. But I am still here to bring you new content! I haven't forgotten, I have just been busy. So today in episode 23, I'm going to be discussing some tips and tricks on college. Plus I will provide some other insights on college for example: how to prepare. So some The topics covered in the podcast will be as followed:

Welcome back to the podcast  I'm just start my second week of my second semester at university so I'm still trying to get the routine down, but it's a work in progress, and we'll just keep on figuring it out. So hence why I have been absent.  Over a break, I realized that I never recorded an episode like I planned, but I did do some personal reflection.  January 10, marked a year since I had my lung surgery or also known as a new pneumenectomy. Especially on my anniversary of my new pneumenectomy. I also share the audio clip of ringing the bell and insights on World Cancer Day.

In episode 21 I share my life update! I moved in on August 25 , 2022 and let me tell you I love it on campus. I am living in a dorm and I discuss everything from the biggest. adjustments, best and worst part. Then I share the worries I had before meeting my suitemates and the one thing they did that I appreciated. Even the wild transition from always attending a public school and now being at a private university. I wrap it up with some tips for you to hold onto for this school year. 

All my life I can remember struggling in school and having to work really hard to try to focus on any assignment we were doing. Tests were always the worst also, because my brain would freeze up and I would be stuck... I'd see other kids finishing up their tests and each time someone turned in a test, I would be feeling an immense amount of anxiety as I would panic and just stare at my paper! I thought this was how everyone operated during tests. Spoiler alert it is not. Maybe everyone else  was really smart and maybe I was just stupid..... Why did things not go my way... well after years of struggling the puzzle came together.

It has been one year of my podcast! I have no idea that we would get this far. June 2, 2021 I launched Brianna’s Bandwagon : The Podcast. I discuss the top 5 popular podcast episodes, how I came up with my podcast name and what I have learned so far! 

In this episode I talk all about getting my lung removed or as the medical professionals call it having pneumonectomy! I had lung removal surgery due to due to cancer. I never knew you can live without one lung until now. How crazy is that! I go through each of the days I was in the hospital and what I did. I also talk about the recovery process and where I am now and the future of my content creation.

This episode I talk about the rebrand of my podcast and what is to come this year. I go over  the importance of setting goals and how to do that. I discuss my own personal events that are coming up and how you can help me with my new Ko-Fi account. I also talk about my little business called Elite Pixel Studios and how I love to design logos for small businesses.

I thought the only way to be successful online was to choose a niche. So I tried to figure out what my niche was but it freaked me out because I didn’t want to choose wrong. Ironically, trying to pick the right niche was distracting me from doing the exact things that would have helped me get more clarity: namely, creating content. I didn’t have enough data coming in, so I constantly felt stuck. In the episode I talk about

• Why you don't NEED a Niche
• Problems from having niche
• Results of possibly locking yourself into a niche

Freshman year I started my blog called, Brianna’s Bandwagon. I didn’t think much of it at first but now I am happy to say it has been one of the best decisions.  It has become my platform to tell my story.   I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten Instagram direct messages from my own classmates about how they read my blog posts and how inspired they are. However, one particular message led to me finding my best friend. I didn’t even know of her presence but apparently she went to the same school. Without my blog, I would have never connected with her. I am proud to say that to this day I have my best friend because of my blog and presence on social media. Listen to the episode to find out the whole story.

In episode 9, I talk about grades and the pressure it puts on students. We let grades determine our happiness, our ability, or the future of our success. Trust me I have been there. I believe people and society are so focused on whether someone is smart, that they lose focus on the person and their true qualities as they are in human being. The grades shouldn’t matter. (but you should still try and care a tiny bit : just put the best effort you can) When you die, your transcript won’t be on your headstone, and neither will your job title or your net worth. But the things that will live on are worth so much more than an A or an F. Just because someone gets an “A” in a class or a higher class, doesn’t define their intelligence. If something comes up in the future they can’t accomplish they may not have the perseverance to do it as much as someone who worked so hard to improve their lower grades.

In Episode 7, I inform you about July and how it is Disability Pride month and the flag of the Disabled people. I explain the flag and how each part on the flag plus what it represents. I discuss the revolution of the Americans with Disabilities Act and how the ADA became the first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities. I also discuss other events in history that contributed to the Disability Rights movement. Even though the Americans Disability Act was enacted in 1990 there still is not equality in some areas of society for disabled peoples such as: employment, marriage just to name a few.
