Oh hey there. We’ve got another 5 questions episode for you this week.
For any new listeners out there, that means we’ve taken 5 questions from The College Info Geek Community on Reddit, our Instagram (Thomas | Martin) or Twitter (Thomas | Martin) accounts, email, or anywhere else we might receive them.
Here are the questions were answering this week:
- How can I stay fit in the coming winter?
- When I read for college, should I read out loud or should I read silently?
- How do you make something that doesn’t suck? I have a good idea for a book but I can’t figure out how to write it as well as a professional author.
- I heard you should make your timetable by putting in the hours for break/rest/play time first. Is this true? How should we best design our timetable?
- Have you ever wanted to help others but felt like you needed to learn more or work on yourself before doing it?
