Hello, welcome to my blog!
My name is Muhammad, I am a 21-year-old college student in my final year of engineering school!
I am originally from Palestine, was born in Houston TX and grew up in Jordon. I came back to the US at the age of 18 to study college.
So over the next three semesters, I did my research and I took classes from a variety of majors to see what truly interested me. And it helped to narrow things down, but I will say…
The single thing that helped me most was reading “I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was” by Barbara Sher. It gave me the clarity and confidence to finally choose a major that felt right for me.
Afterward, I spoke with my academic advisor, who assured me that many students are in the same position during their first few semesters.
He also explained why so many students feel uncertain at the start of their college journey and shared some ideas for how to address it.
Reflecting on my own experience, I realized how much easier that phase would have been if I had had the right mentorship from the start.
That’s when I decided to create College Stand, a platform designed for future students who want to learn everything about college and, ultimately, find a career path that fits them.

To be clear, I don’t claim to be a college expert, nor am I trying to present myself as one. My goal is to give advice from the perspective of someone who has been able to overcome the same challenges you’re facing in college.
I am about to finish my Junior year in college, and I’ve learned so much through personal experience. In fact, my college journey has been especially immersive, here are some of the experiences that I base my advice on, plus how I go about writing my articles.
