With honest student struggles, humorous moments, and relatable stories, they explore why motivation fades but systems last.

    From the 1% improvement rule and identity-based habits to the habit loop, the 2-minute rule, and environment design, this episode shows how small, practical changes can transform your academics, productivity, and mindset — without burnout or perfection pressure.

    Whether you're procrastinating on studies, struggling to stay disciplined, or waiting for the "right motivation," this conversation reminds you that progress begins with showing up — even for just two minutes.

    ✨ No hype.
    ✨ No overnight success.
    ✨ Just consistency, clarity, and tiny wins that compound over time.

    Nov 1 2025

    In this lively episode of Campus Conversations, host Laya Prada teams up with Lavanya and Sujith to explore the rebellious, creative, slightly chaotic world of the early hacker culture — inspired by Steven Levy's iconic book Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

    From Wozniak's playful tech experiments to Stallman's loud open-source ideals, this episode explores how curiosity and a little chaos shaped modern computing — and how the same spirit lives in every B.Tech. student juggling crash loops, hackathons, and AI models that only work at 2 AM.

    Hack, fail, laugh, learn, create — and maybe get some sleep afterward.
    Tune in and embrace the hacker spirit that's still alive in all of us.
