Classes end in 7 days, and students are feeling it. So for today’s Daily Deac, a few memes about college, replete with some pop culture references. You can hang onto these and bit by bit send them to your students if you think they need […]
A common theme that I have heard from some of the freshmen I meet is “I have no idea what I want to major in and I am freaking out about it.” They feel pressure that they should know (but don’t), they are dreading you […]
