In the previous episode, I shared my thoughts and experiences with code switching and settled with the fact that I code switch to celebrate my identity. I also shared 5 reasons why people code switch:

1. Inadvertent/unintentional

2. We want to fit in

3. We want to get something

4. We want to say something in secret

5. It helps us convey a thought

This week, my two special guests are college students who shared insightful perspectives and brought more depth to the conversation about code switching. These two university students have their own experiences with code switching and share their thoughts openly on this topic. This is the first of a two-part episode. Part 2 will be published next week.
