As we approach the end of the College Info Geek moniker (as far as this podcast is concerned), we thought it’d be nice to do one last college-centric episode, to honor what got us here. It’s been a bit since we both graduated, so it was going to be time to move on eventually.
We’re talking about the lessons that still stick with us, after all this time.
