    Time

    It might seem like you have more time to spare, but do you really? College is less structured than high school, and how you manage your time is fully up to you. Morgan and Rob talk about the nice – and ugly – sides to managing your own schedule, the dangers of procrastination, and tools that you can use to keep your life – somewhat – together. In this episode: • The illusion of free time • The Golden Gate Bridge analogy • Choosing between physical planners and digital calendars • Downsides of last-minute cram sessions • Why it's okay to feel overwhelmed as you figure it out

In this episode: • Choice overload at freshman club fairs • Burnout from too many commitments • Leaving space on the "shelf of your life" • Being assertive and saying "no" • The right balance between academic and social life

    What's the most important part about college? The classes – you're paying for them. Learning how to navigate college courses is essential to success – and to your diploma. We get brutally honest about academic struggles in today's episode. Morgan talks about failing a class with a final grade of 48%, and Rob shares about how he failed the same communications class three times. In this episode: • Early classes sound good on paper, but are actually a terrible idea • Do you prioritize class times or professors when picking your schedule • Why attendance actually matters • How failing a class isn't the end of the world

    Housing

    Whether you're living on-campus in a dorm or residence hall or in an off-campus apartment, we're covering what first-year housing looks and feels like. Your living situation plays a big role in shaping your freshman year. Morgan talks about living in on-campus housing, the pros and cons of random roommates, and the fun moments that happen in a dorm. In this episode: • Why waiting too long to select housing – and a roommate – is a bad idea • What to do when you and your random roommate don't get along • Why living on-campus is – usually – worth it • Dorm shenanigans, unique experiences, and more!
