Surviving Finals Month & The Problem with Knowing Better | Ep.14
from The Gap and The Grind - TG² · host Denise and Precious
This week, we are skipping the standard "finals week" and entering the trenches of "finals month." We sit down to unpack the chaos of exam season. From wildly different study rituals (silence vs. white-noise playlists) to 15-minute AI cram sessions right before walking into the exam room, we are laying out exactly how we survive the academic grind. Plus, do we all know that one student who complains about getting an "A?" Then, we transition into a highly requested Culture Check. Are we actually growing, or have we just normalized our bad habits? We dive deep into the modern "self-awareness trap." We discuss how therapy-speak, attachment styles, and hyper-awareness are increasingly being used as excuses to stay toxic. Knowing better is one thing, but doing better is another. Today, we are holding ourselves (and you!) accountable. Drop a comment below to let us know what you think and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of our brand-new episodes!
