It is midterms, and things are getting intense! Brains are beginning to fry, grades might be slipping. It is a good time to ask yourself if you are cut out for college. Answer: yes; everyone is cut out for an education. However, this might not be the season or place for you. The zombies talk about school struggles and how to do you go about finding the answer to this question. Side note, we aired this live on the new app Stereo. Feeling this new app out and see if it works for us!
