This week on Shiny Things we reflect on the academic year and the first half of 2022: Our ups and downs, strengths and challenges, and what we look forward to for our last year of undergrad and future plans. We also discuss Jay’s European adventures as he prepares to depart on their study abroad program, as well as our usual Bits and Bites. *apologies for song audio quality. It is Jackie’s first time editing by herself*

Possibly triggering topics include: Explicit language, poverty, social mobility, academic fatigue, graduate school, and mental health related topics
