Hannah's on campus, Zachary's on Zoom. What has the first month of this historic and unusual semester been like? Let them spill.

How can I make that extra cash in college? Is it babysitting? An internship at a nonprofit? Working at a local coffee shop? Hannah and Zachary take you on their paths of college jobs, giving advice and telling stories along the way. (Title credit to the icon Dolly Parton's famous song of the same name)

A roommate can be a lifelong friend or a live-in enemy. Hannah and Zachary chat on learning how to effectively live with newcomers, from finding the right roomies to keeping a tidy room, in this lively discourse.

Hannah and Zachary couldn't have had more different college searches, but their mission to select a home for 4 years taught them valuable lessons. Listen as they list what led them to choose their future University, and share your own with them: give feedback through the Anchor app or by emailing znosanchuk@gwu.edu and hpollack@kent.edu!

For college students, the expedition home for summer may be more challenging than getting to campus itself. Will you get a summer job? What about an internship? Join Hannah and Zachary as they disclose their experiences with college summers, from keeping that summer paycheck to making time for friends and family.  

Can I be sexually active and safe? How do I fit working out into my schedule? Join our co-hosts as they give a practical guide to balance mental, sexual, and physical health at college.  

During this time of uncertainty, Zachary and Hannah give insight to a campus perspective on racism, acknowledging their own privilege while suggesting ways to be a strong white ally.

Who am I? This episode is about becoming your own on a college campus. We discuss everything from religion to politics, eating on campus, and finding new friends.

For our first episode, this is a college student tell-all with the adjustments of moving back home and taking part in online studies. Listen to Zachary and Hannah share their thoughts and stories about home life, sleep schedules, eating habits, and more.
