is 3 books and 5 podcast episodes unrealistic to do in one month?

i’ve not started my extra reading yet (mistake), i’ve read journals/articles through the year, so i’ve planned to read 3 books (i’m halfway through one of them) and listen to 5 podcast episodes before college starts - is it possible?

Are you actually interested in the content of the books/podcasts or do you think that slogging through things you don’t enjoy is going to benefit your application?

You'd be far better served by finding one thing you're genuinely interested in and can reflect critically upon rather than a laundry list of things.

A list of things you claim to have watched, read or listened to is completely worthless for a uni application.
