On the mid-season finale, we’ll be talking about all the twists and turns the journey to obtaining a college degree can take. Many people have this idea that you have to go to a 4-year college right after high school and graduate in 4 years, or else you are on the wrong track. And that’s just not true!

Joining Casey to demystify these myths and anxieties is Ashley Aragón from Highland Park. Ashley is now working on her PhD at the University of Maryland, but her college journey didn’t have such a smooth start.
