Welcome to the first episode of Millennial Minds! I thought I'd start things out with a nice, loving topic before I dive into some heavy stuff:

Episode 1: Stephanie's First Date

It's been a hot topic lately: the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare) is undergoing a radical shift under Trump's administration. But what does this mean for American millennials? As it turns out, it could mean a lot. Join us on Millennial Minds as we break down the impact the new national health care plan will have on millennials.

Wrapping up the semester of Millennial Minds is an episode about mental health and millennials. One in four college students have a diagnosable mental illness, but society tells us not to talk about it. Let's change that.
