Episode 1: “Welcome to the Struggle”

Getting By in Campus is a raw, relatable, and refreshingly honest show that speaks directly to the struggles and triumphs of campus life and young adulthood. Hosted by Avi, the podcast blends humor, vulnerability, and actionable advice to help listeners navigate financial stress, mental health, personal growth, and the messy journey of "adulting" while broke. &nbsp;Key Elements of the Podcast:&nbsp; 1. Authentic &amp; Unfiltered Tone&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Avi keeps it real, sharing personal fails, confessions, and lessons (like stalking LinkedIn profiles or celebrating a friend’s failure). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Language is casual, witty, and packed with Gen-Z/campus slang ("Stay broke. Stay brilliant," "The bank account’s crying, but the drip? Certified "). &nbsp; 2. Structured Yet Conversational Format &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Intro:High-energy hook + teaser of the episode’s theme. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Personal Confession: Avi shares a cringey or vulnerable story to connect with listeners. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Problem-Solving Segments: Breaks down issues (comparison, burnout, budgeting) with science, humor, and step-by-step fixes. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Guest Insights: Real voices (even if impersonated) add credibility and relatability. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Quick Gems &amp; Outro:Memorable one-liners and a motivational sign-off. &nbsp; 3. Themes That Hit Home &nbsp; &nbsp;- Campus Survival: Roommate drama, broke meals, group project nightmares. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Mental Health:Comparison traps, validation addiction, quiet hustle vs. clout chasing. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Hustle &amp; Growth: Side gigs, failing forward, building confidence on a budget. &nbsp; 4. Actionable &amp; Empowering&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Every episode gives practical tools (e.g., "The 24-Hour Rule" for social media, "The Only My Lane" mantra). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Encourages self-reflection ("Ask: Is this my dream or society’s?"). &nbsp; 5. Vibes &amp; Aesthetic &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Music:Laid-back beats for intro/outro, matching the episode’s mood (hopeful, reflective, or hype). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;- Visual Brand (Hypothetical): If it were a TV show, it’d look like Insecure meets The Breakfast Club – gritty, youthful, and full of heart. &nbsp; Why It Stands Out: &nbsp; - No toxic positivity. Avi admits to jealousy, burnout, and bad decisions – making growth feel achievable. &nbsp; - Solves real problems. No vague advice; just hacks, scripts, and emergency kits for campus chaos. &nbsp; - Feels like a friend. Listeners leave feeling seen, laughed with, and equipped to handle life’s messes. &nbsp; Perfect for: Students, young professionals, and anyone who’s ever faked confidence while Googling "how to adult." &nbsp; Getting By in Campus is the big sister/brother/friend you wish you had in college – serving tough love, laughs, and lifelines for the broke and brilliant alike.&nbsp;
