College is a season of change for so many of us. It's a time when we may be feeling a thousand things at once and for the most part, we are all just trying to figure out this whole "almost adult thing." Can I let you in a little secret? It is ok to seek out help in this season. It is ok to turn to mentors and friends and to learn from their experiences. Luckily, blogging is a place where just that is done, but through media. You see, there are women out there who are able to be that mentor, friend, or provide that community you have been so desperately searching for. College gals, we need to hear them out, because to be honest, we desire their help. So no matter where, or what religious background you come from, there is someone out there who is sharing their story, so that YOU may find hope in your own as well.
These are a few of those women, and you will not be disappointed in their ability to make you laugh, smile, or cry with their words. So, here you have it, in absolutely no specific order (because they are all fabulous).
1. Stephanie May Wilson
This girl has a heart even bigger than her smile. She is writing to encourage twenty-somethings to be the best women they could be. Stephanie shares her personal experiences and expresses that she needed a friend through her college years, and that is exactly who she is for others. Her motivational words are over at, "stephaniemaywilson.com."
2. Aspyn Ovard
You may have already heard of this rad gals clothing line or YouTube Channel. Let me tell ya', at 20 years old, she is killin' it. As women it is so important to lift others up in their success. Her open heart for others and the way she lets her audience into her life, is sure to keep you motivated.
3. Jordan Lee Dooley
If you are on the search for a real and raw mentor, this is her. Jordan Lee is extremely open about the motivation behind her blog that inspires so many.

You can catch her sharing life lessons left and right and I can guarantee that you will not regret taking a gander at her blog, SoulScripts.
4. Kimberly Peterson
For all things fashion, Kimberly's blog, Chasinstyle, is the answer. You can find her dressing adorable and spreading so much encouragement along the way. She is also in her early 20s and it is so uplifting to see young women like her going for their dreams.
