First-Year Failures
This episode is dedicated to the first-years on campus. While we, perfect upperclass students, clearly have it all together and are effortlessly making our way through the remainder of college life it unfortunately wasn't always this way. The REACH team will share some of the failures we overcame in our first year and what we learned from them, not necessarily so that you can avoid them but so that you can see that failure is an inevitable condition of starting the college journey. Join us as we recount our first-year missteps, mishaps and mistakes, maybe you'll relate to a few.
