Grab your cocktail or cup of tea and strap in for a doozy. Today on the Knowledge Bar we’re talking about how millennials are confronting quarter-life crises at an alarming rate. We’ll talk about what millennials are saying about these feelings, what scientists are saying, and talk about some of our own experiences.

In addition to our main topic, the University of Michigan lands their man in Bryce Underwood, the Oscars are on the horizon, and Christmas is just a bit much in November.
