Nice to meet you Sarah. Don't worry. You've stumbled upon Steemit. With enough commitment, you might be able to study whatever you want. Not worry about having to earn money. I live in Rhode Island, I work in a college town, so I have a few co-workers from New Jersey. I used to go up to the Six Flags in that area when I was younger. The fastest way to move up in steemit is to connect to a community. The Whaleshares community is full of awesome people. You should check them out. Here's their discord channel. https://discord.gg/dV2sEb

Look forward to seeing you around. Best of luck. I bet being part of a community college, you'll find lots of interesting subjects to write about.
