With finals and graduation just around the bend for most college students, sleepless nights of cramming, and attempting to learn what you should have in previous months can be stressful to say the least.

That’s why there’s Jack FM…to ease your mind and allow you to release your inhibitions.

 Or you could get an e-mail from your school stating that you’ve been kicked out.

Eastern Michigan University students and even some alumni, were victims of this horendous mistake. Say adios to that trophy wife and mansion with a 5-car garage!

Mom we got a 4.0 and still got kicked out
