📓 Welcome to the Journal of Abundance
At Abundant Stories, we don’t just hold space for your story—we grow through ours, too. This isn’t your typical blog. It’s a living journal. A collection of reflections, lessons, and moments that shape us, stretch us, and sometimes surprise us.
These entries are posted every 2 weeks and are written with intention—to remind you that your journey matters, your voice is valid, and growth doesn’t always look like a straight line.
This is where our stories meet yours. Let’s keep growing—together.

Location, Location, Story: Choosing LA or SF as Your College Stage
Choosing your college in California isn’t just about academics—it’s about setting the scene for your story. Whether you’re drawn to the spotlight energy of LA or the revolutionary rhythm of SF, your environment will shape how you show up.
“This isn’t just about where you study—it’s about where you become.”
When you walk onto that campus, you’re stepping into a story already in motion. So choose the city that speaks your language, holds your people, and pushes your potential. Because college isn’t a detour—it’s part of the main plot.

Own Your First‑Gen Journey: Navigating College Admissions with Confidence
What if your college application told more than just your GPA and test scores? What if it told your story—your values, your growth, and where you're headed next?
This blog is a first-gen roadmap through the college admissions process, designed to help you connect the dots between your past, present, and future. From early milestones to crafting your personal statement, it walks you through how to stand out by being yourself—not someone you think admissions officers want to see.
As we say in the blog:
“You are not writing your wounds—you are writing your wisdom.”
Whether you're learning what a FAFSA is, figuring out what to share in your essay, or just trying to believe your story is enough—this post is for you.
