The spring semester has commenced, which means the spring slump has too. Unlike the fall semester, students are not as eager or organized. It can be hard to push through those last few months without wanting to pull your hair out.
Luckily for college students, we live in a time where anyone with advice can post it in an audio form to streaming platforms. On these platforms you can find podcasters talking about anything from news to comedy.
Here are five podcasts that will help any struggling college student figure out how to get their life together:
