After a technical difficulty delay in the release, we're finally back with one of our most packed episodes yet—Season 3 Episode 8 of Life of a Content-Creating College Student! This episode marks a historic milestone as we welcome a full cast of five voices to the podcast: Luis Solis, Luis Espinoza, Hayden-Niewhal Thomas, Charlotte Waite, and yours truly, WayneZ0207™️. Together, we dive into the recent whirlwind of excitement at Oregon Tech and beyond. From winning the Encore Award at Catalyze Klamath for my youth development concept Youthtopia, to traveling for the grad school trip in Portland (yes, there was a hot tub involved), this episode is jam-packed with growth, laughter, and tears—literally, as Charlotte shares how the TOP Honors speech moved her to tears. 😭✨

Academically, I’ve been burning through projects faster than Nintendo can brick your emulator (don’t worry—we talk about that too). I’ve been tackling my final projects for PSY 347, BUS 326, and STAT 243Z, and managed to finish MIS 206 early after wrapping up a major paper on automation’s industry-wide impact. Meanwhile, content creation hasn’t stopped. I’ve been putting DaVinci Resolve Studio 20’s Beta Version 3 through its paces, using its 78 neural engines and AI-driven tools to remaster content—upscaling the Catalyze stream to stunning 4K HDR. And yes, the editor is more demanding than OBS with 20 Chrome tabs open, but worth every crash for that visual gold. 💻🔥

Shout out to Dr. Wilson for IDEAfest sponsorship, Miguel Figueroa for his project management insights, and creator credit to Dantic (check out his flight class gaming adventures here and Screen Rant for their awesome Star Wars blogs! 🌟🎙️
