5 Questions: Productive Breaks, Avoiding Multitasking, & Intimidating Professors (Ep. 112)
We’re answering your questions today!
In this reader questions episode, we’ll go over how to spend a break productively, whether you should dorm with a friend or a stranger, how to resist the siren’s song of multitasking, how to internalize the internet’s infinite self-help advice, and how to deal with intimidating professors.
Most of these questions have been pulled from February’s monthly topic request thread in the College Info Geek community on Reddit.
