Friends Next Door

Meet the Parents - now that sounds like a scary movie. To those who are natural charmers, lucky you. Those who are void of the social butterfly genes, don't worry because at least we can trade stories, and tips! 

And unfortunately, this will be our last episode of Season 5! We have to end the season earlier than usual because of personal circumstances (nothing crazy though), so we're saying farewell for now but we WILL be back!

Is New York overrated or underrated? On this episode, we're just going to have a fun conversation on things that we think are underrated or overrated. And ooobviously, the things we say are highly subjective :). If you feel so inclined, though, feel free to share your thoughts if you disagree!

If you're an older millennial listener, would you agree that we're entering our midlife crisis era? It may not look the same as what we imagine a midlife crisis would look like, with a red sports car or anything, but some of the signs are hard to ignore. Regardless, we're not saying it's a bad thing, but let's talk about it.

Ahh we sure do like to come up with a label for everything, don't we? In this case we think it is the best way of explaining the term in a succinct way, but in standard FND fashion, we'll dive into the concept, what we mean by that and why we think it is becoming normalized.

Let's talk about boundary - what are things that you're willing and not willing to do in social settings? Have they changed throughout the years? A simple example would be Mia, who never would've wanted to go to any horror-themed activity, risking her beauty sleep to go a haunted hotel themed escape room. Now that's what we call a real friend.
