Summary

In this episode of Manifest with Tori Sterling, we talk about college. Who am I to talk about college considering I dropped out, but I think it's interesting to talk about. Especially right now as a new wave of students enter the higher education system & in the midst of the biggest college admissions scandal in history. Again, I am in no way bashing college, I am just opening the floor for your thoughts, so please dump your brain in the "reviews" section or comment on my last IG post, @toristerling_. Happy Monday!

0:09.0

Today I'm going to be doing an episode that I've had written down in my notes for a really long time like when I was just

0:14.3

thinking of doing a podcast and I wanted to and I was thinking of ideas this was one of

0:18.7

the top ideas that I had because I get asked about it all the time and it is college. And I was always

0:27.2

you know gonna want to do this and I want to bring on someone else that has the

So I just want to remind you that I'm not attacking anyone or I'm not saying that your

about the college admissions scandal and I I was listening to it and I'm on the

1:22.3

fifth episode I think there's like one more to be released if it's not been released already.

1:26.0

And the last episode really kind of sparked my mind and pretty much what it was saying was that college has become more for the lower class,

1:39.4

like very poor people that are, you know, are the success story of their family which is wonderful and then

1:44.8

also the super wealthy people that can kind of buy their way into schools and it's
