Steering the Ship: Real Talk from Working College Students

College life brings new challenges, unexpected stressors, and a whole lot of learning outside of the classroom. In this Shine story, two college students share honest, true-to-life stories about what it is really like to steer the ship of adulthood while juggling work, academics, and everything in between. Through their experiences, you will hear how they navigate tough moments, find support, and stay grounded in a world that is constantly demanding more. Listen, connect, and explore how these two students chart their own path, and discover what helps them manage the world around them.
