Your Ultimate College Survival Guide

Summer mode (almost) ☀️


☀️ Summer Mode = On

Starting in June, we’re shifting to summer mode: you’ll hear from us every Wednesday (unless something big drops — then we might show up on a rogue Tuesday 👀).

The Student Buzz started with one goal: help students feel less lost. We’re still run by the same scrappy, sleep-deprived, overly ambitious student brain energy — and now, with thousands of readers, we’ve sent out over 272,000 emails in just the last 90 days. We never thought we’d hit numbers like that. It means the world that you’re here.

Right now, we’re working on locking in new partnerships so we can bring you even more internship opportunities next school year.

Honestly? It’s been messy. Spiral moments. Cram-session vibes. But if a bunch of students-turned-creators can do this, you can do anything.

Believe in yourself. We mean it. 💛

☀️ HOT GIRL SUMMER… but not in the cute way

NOAA says this summer’s gonna be one of the hottest ever — like, hotter-than-Death-Valley levels in parts of Texas. Droughts are hitting from Nevada to Florida, wildfires already started in May, and the feds? Kinda falling apart.

Trump’s budget cuts are slashing weather and safety staff, so cities are scrambling to keep people safe. Extreme heat messes with sleep, focus, and mental health — and it’s now the #1 weather-related cause of death in the U.S.

Drink water. Touch grass (carefully). It’s not just hot — it’s systemically hot.

This $8 fan is tiny, cute, and blows like your GPA depends on it. USB rechargeable, 3 speeds, and fits in your bag. Stay cool, literally. 💨

🍓 Picnic Season = Activated

Sun’s out, blanket’s down, and your snack game better be strong. We found 60+ picnic recipes that’ll have you serving main character energy in the grass — we’re talking epic salads, bite-sized desserts, and yes, quiche. Go feast like you packed a personality.

Our top internship pick:

Software Engineering:

Data:

Other tech:

Finance/Accounting:

Marketing/HR:

Supply Chain/ Operation:

Btw you’ll still see us this Friday 👋
