College is About
Classes

Show notes

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
"I severely overestimated my abilities in math...and I ended the class with a 48%."
Morgan
