Can colleges find your finsta? Does it really matter what you post? Jordanna, Haley, and I chat about our experience with social media and our views on how high schoolers use it. We talk a bit about standardized testing of course since we're still awaiting that goal score & we discuss what we're doing over summer!! 

Hope everyone's having a fantastic week and have a great day!!

Since I just got back from a mission trip last week I wanted to use this opportunity to bring in Avery Wilkins to chat about our experiences with service. For those of you who have done construction type volunteer work you'll most likely be able to relate and for those of you never having experienced that, you'll get a look into what it's like. We recap our mission trip and explain another program we've been involved in- AOSP. Then, we discuss what motivates people to engage in service and how school plays a role in that. 

We encourage you to get outside your comfort zone and get involved in your community one way or another. Have a great day, but try to also help someone else have a great day!!

Being very honest this episode about the little bumps in my life as of late. As we're growing up and going out making our own choices we're bound to make mistakes. I genuinely hope you all don't have to learn from experience and can loose your phone in the lake only vicariously through me. We're all just trying our best and learning as we go! I'll be back from my mission trip will be back with a guest next Tuesday. Thanks so much for listening, have a great rest of your week!

Guest, Nathan Fair, talks with me all about identity and reputation. He reflects on how he's built such a prominent identity for himself in high school, but how that shapes how others view and treat him. Sometimes we get negative reputations, sometimes deserving, sometimes not. I asked Nathan about why he's excited about moving to Colorado to start fresh his senior year. I hope you enjoy the raw conversation we were able to have about how we portray ourselves and how others view us. Hopufully you learn a little something from it and have a great rest of your week. Happy Summer!!

Christian and Aidan came on to chat with me about summer plans! Aidan tells us about his Naval Academy Camp and counselor job. Christian and I get excited for the mission trip we are embarking on soon! During summer everyone's going every which way, but we hope to all enjoy the break from school and make the most out of the time with our friends. All three of us plan on at least attending cross-country workouts so you'll probably find us there at 6:30 every morning. I hope you all are having a blast finishing up the school year and getting excited for summer! Have a fantastic rest of your week!

With junior year coming to a close, Peyton and I discuss what's on our mind: senioritis, college, elections, and more! The future's exciting, but appears a bit scary. Join us in our conversation of what's to be, like Peyton leaving me 😩. Push through these last days of school because summer's right around the corner! Have a fantastic rest of your week!!

Hey guys, it's Sydney! I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback I received last week from the pilot episode of HighSchool Unfiltered! Don't worry because next week I have another episode for you all with a guest in a more traditional fashion. This week though, get to know me and the thoughts behind the creation of this podcast. Have a fantastic rest of your week!

Hey it's Sydney & welcome to HighSchool Unfiltered! In today's episode, my guest, Peyton Inman, and I chatted about what aspects of our lives we deem most important. We cover academics, clubs, sports, relationships, even our own well being. Learning to choose what you allocate your time and energy towards can sometimes be tricky when people around you have differing priorities. It's important though to stay true to what you value and learn to say no in order to prioritize those thing. Have a fantastic week and I hope you all are thriving!
