Balancing college life with military training is no small feat. In this episode of In Between the Lines, host Alanah dives into the unique challenges and rewards of being a student and a cadet. Whether you’re in ROTC, considering a military career, or just curious about the overlap between leadership, discipline, and everyday college experiences, this conversation explores the realities of walking both paths. With insights from cadets, veterans, and thought-provoking discussion, we break down the commitments, sacrifices, and lifelong lessons that come with this journey. Grab your snacks, bring your curiosity, and join the conversation as we unpack the truths that live in between the lines.

In this episode, we're delving into an issue that's all too familiar yet often overlooked: silent problems in friendships and relationships. These unspoken tensions—whether it's a subtle shift in energy or unresolved issues—can quietly chip away at the foundation of any bond.

Join us as we explore how to spot these silent signals, the importance of addressing them at the right time, and the pitfalls of avoidance. Discover practical insights to foster healthier communication and strengthen your connections. Plus, we want to hear your take on this—because no matter who we are, these conversations matter. Let’s turn silence into understanding.

Think about it: Does athletic dedication shape a stronger work ethic? Should scholarships favor sports over academics, or is there a middle ground? And how does campus life differ when your priorities are practice drills versus late-night study sessions?

Whether you’re team ‘grind it out on the field’ or team ‘hustle in the library,’ this conversation is all about unpacking the values, challenges, and controversies that play out between these two worlds. Let’s dissect the balance—or imbalance—of recognition, resources, and rewards. Ready to explore the truth that lives between the lines?
