Chaotic Academia

Alina spent time exploring the story of Circe - this episode was inspired by the popularity of Greek myths in modern pop culture and the stories of women in history. It's fun, and interesting, and there is much to discuss. Listen and chime in :)

Bringing back the hobbies talk! I revisited the note in which I wrote down a list of hobbies I wanted to start 3 years ago when I graduated from college and filled you in on what hobbies I have (or haven't!) started since that very first episode so many moons ago. Thanks for being along for the journey y'all :)

in this episode of chaotic academia, alina delves into the story of joan of arc - a badass historical figure she's been meaning to learn about for a while and finally has! sit back, learn something new, and enjoy the story!

I watched way too much "lifestyle" internet content and learned a lot of things and also got frustrated. Here are my musings.
