To think that you need to focus on getting good grades and being immersed in the college experience is completely normal. These are all important parts of being a successful student. However, going off to college is but one fleeting stage in life that prepares you for the life ahead of you. The goal for many students is to become professionals in their chosen fields. While your academic performance is important in accomplishing such a goal, getting an internship is arguably a great deal more important.

In this episode of The Study Space Podcast, we discuss how to get into an internship-seeking mindset and how to begin your search for internships. We talk about the different ways in which we’ve looked for internships and which approaches we found worked better for us. Show Notes Available at https://uniplan.dev/podcast/8.

For new students unaccustomed to college life, feeling as though you need to start your first semester or term off strong is natural. Many students define “dominating” their first semester as getting a 4.0 GPA, landing an internship, or participating in research opportunities with their professors. While these are all noble aspirations, success is not solely comprised of academics.

In this episode of The Study Space Podcast, we discuss how to dominate your first semester of college by looking back at our first semesters and talking about the things we did right, but also things we did wrong or could have done better. Show Notes Available at https://uniplan.dev/podcast/7.

Many students are likely aware that different people learn new concepts differently. Often times the conversation resolves to three main categories of learners: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual. This framework can certainly be helpful for many students to identify their preferred method of learning, but we think there’s a more helpful way to reinforce your learning.

In this episode of The Study Space Podcast, we discuss a higher-level concept for learning new topics and skills: personal learning ecosystems. We define what exactly is a personal learning ecosystem, how to build one, and how having one can benefit a college student. We discuss our own personal learning ecosystems and how we nurture it to reinforce our learning and development. Show Notes Available at https://uniplan.dev/podcast/5.

With the advent of technology came the demise of many traditional jobs and careers. Many students that are considering a college degree or are currently in the process of earning their degrees, are concerned that such aspirations can be useless if their jobs are automated away by high tech. Others believe that college degrees are the key to a secure career, and thus, a secure future.

In this fourth episode of The Study Space, we evaluate the validity of such beliefs and give our opinions on them. We talk about the value of skills and how to think about what the future might bring. Show Notes Available at https://uniplan.dev/podcast/4.
