As students, study culture is a topic we're both quite familiar with and wanted to discuss right away. In the first actual episode of Sociable, we cover what does study culture look like and how it manifests. The discussion kind of changes into stress, optimal study habits, and how we study, but we hope you enjoy! Follow our Instagram, sociable_official for future updates, polls, and questionnaires!
