According to Nick Youssef

If you made it this far, awesome. If not, well then you're not reading this sentence so you go to hell you son of a bitch. Ok, back to you, the person who made it this far. I love you. So the fall semester is my hardest one yet in some ways because I had to stack all my classes onto two days so I could open up my weekends to road work. There were a ton of amazing road gigs ahead of me and I needed...

Getting on an early wake up schedule, commuting with 9-5 ers uptown and accomplishing a mountain of things before 10am was wild.  Later that school year, a bunch of work fell through on the road so I also started walking dogs part time to keep things together. It was an intense and humbling spring semester.   Check out the Patreon for more.    patreon.com/atny nickyoussef.com

Never knew I had test anziety until my first quiz in Arabic class. I've been managing it, but still struggling with it.  Also, I talk about the start of the Oct. 7th protests on campus and how they felt throughout the semester.

I railed against this new etiquette guide written by the most out of touch, elitist sounding writers from The Cut. I mean it's truly worthless information. I did the first 30.
