Strive: A College Student's Revelations During a Global Pandemic
What do you want to do with your life? What are you working towards? What do you Strive for?
In her second year of college, a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, Colleen Chang came to realize there’s more to life than following a pre-defined path to conventional success. Instead of continuing to live on autopilot and blindly working towards a dream that wasn’t her own, she committed to pursuing intentional experiences. This decision propelled her into a year filled with adventures. Chang spent her third year of college pursuing opportunities that would help her discover the world and herself.
Chang takes you along on her journey as a college student who redefined what success means to her, and what is meaningful enough to Strive for.
Her hope is that something in the stories she shares—from an ordinary college student living in extraordinary times—is relatable or eye-opening in a way that may spark a change within you.

Every college student should read this book. Even post-grad, I am learning so much about what I want and how I can achieve my goals. Perspective makes a huge difference. I'm also incredibly proud of one of my best friends from high school, Colleen, for writing this book. It's been a few years since she published this book, and I am just getting the chance to read it, but I can really see how she puts all of the insights gained while writing this book into practice throughout her life.
10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone.
Just finished reading Strive. For a long time, I've always admired Colleen for being meticulous and organized, always knowing what her next move is going to be. After reading her book, I realize she doesn't have a roadmap of all her goals but rather takes opportunities as they come. I wish I read this book during undergrad, but as a post-grad, I gained a lot that I hope to incorporate into the rest of my journey.
