Welcome to The Woke Fountain! where we keep it REAL N RAW. We are the voices that speak up and stand strong together as the new generation! Stay tuned✊🏽
It’s been quite the season and now we’re finally here on the last episode. I hope you enjoyed listening just as much as we enjoyed discussing different topics relating to navigating our 20s in college. But before we say goodbye, tune in one last time for an epic ending!
What’s it like for people living under certain circumstances that might hinder or improve their performance in college? College lifestyle can depend on many factors. A huge one is living space. Many college or university students live in dorms, others choose to live in apartments with roommates close by and some remain at home if their campus is close by. We tackle this main question in this week’s episode, so stay tuned!
Faith is a very strong word. Most people associate it with having faith in God but it can also be having faith in oneself. Not everyone has a strong faith, but maybe that’s just what you’re missing in life, especially in college. Tune in and don’t miss out on the opportunity to get in touch with God and yourself through faith and learn how that can help you with college life.
Taking risks is indeed very risky. The thought of risks may bring anxiety to some and comfort to others. Our 20s is the time we’re faced with many opportunities that require us to just go for it. How can we take that first step?... By listening to this episode!
The pressure is on. In life we NEED to find our passion in order to have a happier career lifestyle, or do we? Do we need to find just ONE passion? How do we find this so-called passion? How do we network and find our tribe? And how do these two relate and benefit us? We answer all these questions and more in this week’s episode, so don’t miss out!
Fear has never been so creative in life until you think about the scary risk of defying your parents/parent. If you’ve ever felt like your future has already been decided for you and you’re struggling to live up to it or break away from it, then you’ve come to the right podcast. Tune in and experience our thoughts with us.

Why is college so expensive and stressful for no reason? Why have there been promises to make education free but nothing has been done? Why are there so many different financial obstacles for people who just want to learn to make money and survive? Well you won’t know until you tune in.

Reminder: Don’t forget to look for scholarships and grants within your institution as well. There are some hidden eggs in there that you might be surprised about, for example, the scholarships based on being a first-generation college student are most times institution scholarships.
Scamming comes in many forms and from different directions. If you’re smart, you probably already know that scamming is wrong and is a moral crime, but did you know that there’s a legal version of scamming? Yes, and believe it or not, most of us have been victims. Tune in to listen as we discuss society’s biggest crime. Fun fact, 40% of college students are dropouts.
