What do sex, athletes, body image, and flirting like a man have to do with each other? In this week's episode of Bachelorette Degree, we are talking about the intersection of them all, power dynamics. Laura interviews Claire Boehm (@claireeboehm on Instagram), a freshman at Wake Forest University who lives down the hall from Laura and runs varsity track and cross country.

DISCLAIMER: This week's episode discusses body image, caloric intake, and diet culture please do not listen if this will be triggering. Laura is back from her two-week podcast break and is bringing your an episode covering everything from diet and exercise to body image and alcohol consumption. Gaining weight in college is a difficult subject to talk about and so we are here to foster an open dialogue. Follow @bachelorettedegree on Instagram to be more in the know of upcoming episodes and to possibly get involved. She is riding solo this week but is planning on having some guests in the coming weeks so stay tuned.

This week's episode is the second installment of bachelorette degree's series on being black at a PWI (predominantly white institution) with a fellow Wake Forest University Student, Skyler Edwards (@szkyler on Instagram). The episode covers topics from being targeted for diversity photo opportunities to rushing a black sorority in the divine nine. Laura also briefly discusses her mental health and gives a life update about where she is in terms of her college experience. 

This week's episode is one of a series discussing being black at a PWI (predominantly white institution). The goal of these episodes is to foster a conversation that the host Laura, a white student, cannot properly speak to on a subject matter that is not always discussed. The interview this week is with Laura's friend, Maela Ngantcha,  who is a fellow thrift lover and an editor for The Fit Magazine. Because February is Black History Month, the majority if not all the episodes will be centered around Black Culture in college. 

We have a bit of a short one this week, but that's because Laura is finally back at school! On this week's episode, we are covering feeling isolated and vulnerable as an adult (sorta) in college. It can be hard to not feel like oneself and be stuck in a dorm. As mentioned in the episode, please follow @bachelorettedegree on Instagram for a chance to be included in the next few episodes. 

On this week's episode, Laura covers a more light-hearted and slightly lengthy topic which is everything about styling yourself as a student; discussing everything from the impact style has on mental health to shopping second-hand, this week's episode covers a lot of fashionable ground. Kate Lichtman is interviewed and is able to bring in a similar perspective to Laura's with a slightly different flare. She is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin and can be found on Instagram @kateslichtman and on Depop @katedepopshop.

On this week's episode, Laura is tackling hookup culture in college, and the implications it has on female students. The featured interview this week is with Arleigh Haskal (@arleighhaskal on Instagram) who is a sophomore at Boston University and a freelance photographer. The objective of this week's episode is to foster safe and useful conversations about relationships, sex, and dating while in college.
