The True Cost of College: Introductions and Purpose

Welcome to my Blog

Hello World and welcome to my very first blog post. This first part will serve as an introduction to what is to come and what to expect from each of the following posts.

About Me

My name is Seth Novoselich, and I am currently a freshman at North Carolina State University majoring in finance, with plans to minor in accounting. I have successfully made it through my first semester of college and am now diving into the second semester with enthusiasm.

Purpose of This Blog

This blog will serve multiple purposes, and I hope it will resonate with readers in different ways:

A personal Record

I want to create a personal journal to reflect on my college journey. This won’t just include my academic achievements but also personal growth, transformative experiences, and the network of connections I build along the way. College requires significant time and resources, and I hope to look back on this blog as a tangible record of whether the investment was worthwhile.

A Resource for Prospective Students

For those considering attending a university, this blog will provide insight into what my personal college life looks like. While college can be a valuable path, it’s not the right choice for everyone. By sharing my experiences, I aim to help others make more informed decisions about whether it’s the right step for them.

A Professional Portfolio

Finally, this blog will serve as a showcase of my ability to consistently produce thoughtful, meaningful content. My hope is that future employers will see this as evidence of my dedication, communication skills, and ability to create valuable work.

Expanding the Blog with a Podcast:

In addition to writing about my experiences, I will also be co-creating a podcast alongside my twin brother, Silas. The podcast will feature interviews with professionals from various fields, providing insights into different career paths. Through these conversations, I hope to explore potential career options beyond finance, while helping listeners identify roles that might align with their skills and interests.

Final Thoughts

This blog is both a personal journey and a public resource. Whether you’re a prospective college student, a fellow freshman, or simply someone interested in career exploration, I hope you’ll find value in what I share here. Thank you for joining me, and I look forward to documenting this exciting chapter of my life!
