HUGStronger stands for Helping Undergrads Grow Stronger. If you’re in or around the college years, we’re here to give you the extra oomph to get going in the morning or a second set of hands to pick you off the floor at night.

We don’t want you ducking for cover for the next four years. We don’t want you holed up in your dorm room or bedroom, afraid to show the world you’ve got spunk and attitude, strength and power. We want to help you grow up satisfied with where you are in this wide, wide world. 

Each post is short and sweet for you to scroll through in-transit to the library for a long night of studying or at the bus stop waiting to hitch a ride to class. We want to offer you whatever you need, however you need it.

*If we’re not doing that for you, shoot us an email and tell us how to make that happen.

Want to get involved or submit something to make this your community? We want this to be a network of different voices, each contributor and reader learning from each other.

We want your words of wisdom and your fears. Ask us your probing questions about those tough situations and share the resources that helped you get through the college years, whether for academic and personal purposes.

At HUGStronger, we want to be your safe haven. Your lighthouse. Your confidante. 

We know that family and friends aren’t always going to be supportive or understanding. That problems might crop up where it’s easier to confide in a stranger. Whether you’re looking for an answer to a tough question or just hoping to connect with others sharing similar stories and struggles, we hope to be that for you.
