Mission Statement

At school, we are taught everything from caffeine science to thermodynamics. We learn so much about the world around us—but often fail to learn about ourselves. How do our habits, motivation, and mindset help us achieve our academic and personal goals, and what can we do when obstacles stand in the way of our success? How can we be productive and learn effectively instead of stressing over our academics? We, the students of Ohio State’s ESEPSY 1259 course, will answer these (and many other) questions that you might be wondering about. As part of our course final projects, we embarked on a semester-long journey of self-exploration and challenged ourselves to achieve goals that mattered to us.

On this website, you will find our stories in which we explain how to ace various aspects of college life and act in harmony with your values, goals, and aspirations. This website is created by students and for students. Find a category you are interested in and explore topics to help you become your most productive, successful self.
