Andrew Kozlovski, self-made social media sensation, started the business of selling Brainz Power, a nootropic supplement, at just 19 years old. He has amassed over 135,000 followers on Instagram, including Instagram superstars such as Prince Ea and B Simone, through strategic marketing and by being mentioned twice on the Forbes' List and in the Los Angeles Business Journal(LABJ).

During his freshman year, Andrew noticed that students all around him were indulging in addictive medications like Adderall to "enhance their focus and mitigate symptoms of ADHD". After doing enough research, he realized that students who abused Adderall were addicted to its amphetamine, a highly addictive substance that is used to treat ADHD.

Andrew says in order to provide students a safer product that assisted with "cognitive focus, mental health, and stress relief," he needed to travel to labs across the country in order to ensure that the chemists who created Brainz included ingredients that would help students "focus and stay attentive throughout their college education." - Andrew Kozlovski

Although the fact that this college student was making $6,000-$10,000 a month during the early stages of his business is impressive enough, the obstacles he had to overcome are even more shocking. Not only was he paying USC's expensive tuition on his own, but he moved out to Los Angeles without the full support of his immigrant parents. Despite the fact that he was single-handedly marketing his business through social media, starting up a motivational youtube channel and trying to gain press with Forbes and LABJ, he still strove to maintain above a 3.5 GPA and kept in shape by working out for about an hour every day.

In his most recent youtube video, "Summer's are when I separated myself from everyone (SUCCESS STRATEGY)", he reveals how he uses his summers to get ahead in business, school, and sports. Kozlovzki tells his subscribers that while his friends are busy tanning and traveling during their vacations, he's at school, putting in 15 hour work days. By posting videos like these, and many more, in which he shares his daily routine, offers advice on how to start a business with only $500, and instructs rising business students on how to gain press with huge publications, Koz continues to further motivate upcoming college students who already look up to him.

Although his business is currently making significantly more than $10,000 a month, in a recent interview I had with Koz, he shared that he is currently "trying to distribute Brainz to major chains like Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, etc". Koz predicts that in addition to growing his Instagram and Youtube channel, he will turn Brainz into "a multi-million dollar business in the next 12 months". Do you believe him? I certainly do.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
