While perusing the Internet in search of some blog wisdom for The Ultimate Balance to a College Life, I came across a woman who has had plenty of blog experience when it comes to the college life.

College advice is arguable one of the most searched topics on the Internet, therefore there were plenty of bloggers out there who look to give advice just like myself. However, this woman’s blog stuck out to my above the rest for her blog topics, style, credibility, and reviews.

This woman’s name is Kelci Lynn Lucier, blogger for usnews.com. Kelci has a large resume full of experience when it comes to college. She has worked in college education for ten years where she eventually got into educational writing in 2008. Not only does she write for usnews.com, she is also the writer for the Guide to College Life at About.com and the founder of The College Parent Handbook. To add along to that impressive history, she also has a master’s in higher education from Harvard!

It is clear to see that Kelci has a strong passion for higher education and helping students deal with the complexities of the college life. When writing her blogs her angle comes from an informative viewpoint. With all of her wisdom and experience, she is simply just trying to help out students who are not knowledgeable about college.

Over the years, Kelci’s topics have been similar to mine as in they deal with situations that may arise amongst college students.

Here a few of her blog post topics….

-4 ways to Deal with a Bad College Professor

-How to Handle the College Winter Blues

-Manage your Academic Time

-Pay for College

The frequency of Kelci’s writing seems to be sporadic for usnews.com. Most of her blog posts come from 2011. Since then she has written very few for usnews.com but still continues to write for multiple blog outlets.

I wish I found these blog posts when I was a freshman at USC; her advice is some of the best guidance I have gotten. Since I never found her blog until now, it has taken me till junior year to learn about the hardships of college. It’s not to say that I would have been more knowledgeable when handling different situations, it’s just good to have a simple heads-up.

For Kelci’s blog posts, she engages all students of every demographic. She is able to have insight to every possible situation and is a great leader that all college bloggers should emulate.

She also gets positive feedback via comments at the bottom of her blog posts including shares onto twitter and Facebook.

I urge all of my readers to take a look at Kelci’s blog because that’s where the REAL WISDOM comes from. While I’m just a young buck giving advice, she has been a pioneer in the blogging world, enlightening students for years.
