Feeling Some Type of Way

Kyle and Adriana are in the first semester of their senior year of high school, and they are stressed. In this episode, they interview their college counselor about his college experience and his advice to them when applying and choosing a school.

When Kyle was less than a year old, his mom made a really hard decision-- to send him to live with his grandma in Jamaica. For the first time, Kyle asks his mom about why she made that choice and talks to her about how both their lives have changed since he moved back to New York City to live with her.

In this episode, the Doctor of LOL will tell you why using emojis and text abbreviations is actually a good thing. Kyle and Adriana talk to linguist Michelle McSweeney about her research.

When Adriana was in middle school, she was bullied about her weight. As she got older, she struggled to explain to her mom about what she saw and felt when she looked in the mirror. Now, she talks to Cuban American journalist Carmen Cusido about her recovery from anorexia and the unique challenges they face as Hispanic Americans trying to translate eating disorders to their immigrant parents.

Adriana and Kyle investigate the conspiracy theory that Canadian singer/rapper Drake is actually Dominican.

Kyle deletes his social media accounts for one month. Adriana tries to join him for the last week-- but neither of them quite make it.

Kyle and Adriana talk about what they learned about friendship on the last day of their junior year of high school. And, they remember how they became friends-- and that one time when they almost stopped being friends.

Kyle and Adriana talk about how the snap judgments of strangers about their age, race, sexuality, or gender don't reflect who they really are inside.
