Transitioning to College, Were You Ready?

Let's Talk Later

Have you ever found yourself questioning the weight of a college degree? Join us as Caprie explores this topic with Jaylah, a soon-to-be college graduate, who's as honest as she is entertaining. Navigating the highs and lows of college life, we reflect on her journey, stumbles, and triumphs. Hear her share stories that are as real as they are hilarious about college roommates, and learn how she combated homesickness by building meaningful relationships.
What happens when your world is turned upside down and your dreams seem nearly impossible to achieve? Caprie opens up about her struggle with illness, academic probation, and the loss of financial aid that forced her to put her dreams on hold. Yet, her resilient spirit shines through as she talks about balancing work and education, and her eventual pivot to a different career path. You'll also hear about our thought-provoking debate on the necessity of a four-year degree, and how single-mindedness can often limit our potential.
As we conclude the first season, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible conversations and diverse range of topics we've covered. From exploring college life and transitions to challenging traditional perspectives on education and career paths, it's been quite a journey. Stay tuned for our next season where we plan to delve deeper into stigmas and mental health issues. So until we meet again, remember to be kind to one another and keep the conversation going.
