Summary: Katy Hamm hasn't been on the podcast in a few weeks, so we wanted to catch up a little bit on some boring tax stuff, implications regarding student loans, tuition waivers, and money in general. We also dig into sexual assault prevention and the role our nonprofit plays in this prevention work! We laugh, we cry, we get confused over all this tax stuff - it's weird. But hey! It's another day in the life podcast from Katy and Craig and we hope you enjoy it! Also, heads up! There are a fuck-word or two in this episode because Katy and Craig have no more to give! EPISODE NOTES: - Student debt reached $1.3 Trillion! - Chronicle article on what the passage of the Senate tax plan means for colleges. - Inside Higher Ed article about what the tax plan means for colleges and students. - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/01/heres-how-the-senate-tax-bill-affects-recent-college-grads.html - How the tax reform impacts graduate students and student loan deductions. - Guilt of the first-gen college student. - And if all that wasn't enough, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program - a program Craig is enrolled in - might disappear. - Katy has written extensively about their traumas on our Art of Survival site and is very public with their experiences. MUSIC NOTES: - This week, we shared the song, "In Love or Whatever," by Future Teens, which is a song off their new album, "Hard Feelings." The album was released by Take This to Heart Records in September and you should definitely stream the entire album right now. - If you liked what you heard, and want to snag a physical copy of the new Future Teens album, make sure you visit futureteens.bandcamp.com! ADVERTISING NOTES: - Today's episode is selfishly sponsored by our own nonprofit, The Art of Survival!
