On this week's episode, we are talking all sorts of trials and tribulations of adulting. Sometimes life throws you punches and it's up to you to figure that shit out. From misinformation during application season to misfortune with car trouble, tune in as I go all in on the chisme.

PSA to all: if you don't own jumper cables, do yourself a favor and buy some!

Dun Dun Dunnnn. Application season is finally upon us, so let the stress begin. Tune in as I talk about where I'm at in the process of applying to graduate programs, the overall timeline, tips & tricks I've learned thus far, and some words of encouragement from one student to another. Besos, Your Favorite Latina

**Edit: After the realization that I have been misinformed, the general timeline for PhD applications is wrong in this episode. It is as follows:

December- application deadlines

January/February- interviews

March- acceptance letters sent out

April- student decisions due

August- start of program

(P.S. may this be a reminder to always do your homework & not just take someone's word)

Today's episode was inspired by my own family's experiences with erasure from history, so I wanted to share my grandmother's story as well as other forgotten stories by other people of color.
