KAL Pals

As rising seniors, we, as the KAL Pals, feel that we should speak about our high school experiences and provide helpful tips for our listeners. It's almost time to go back to school, and KAL Pals want to help you prepare for the greatest school year ever. Well, maybe not greatest. But better than last year.

Thanks for listening:)

We would like to formally introduce our new series: KAL & Korea 101, where we talk about our own experiences, lessons, and interests as Korean teenagers. In this episode, we talk about the parts of Korean culture and expected behaviors that were new to us as individuals living in the US and we feel like everyone should know about. We also mention how living in Korea may be difficult--or scary even---and some of the aspects that make us think so.

This week, we wanted present to you another episode of the Just Spit It Out series. We've noticed many listeners enjoyed the previous episode of this series, and we thought it'd be nice to bring it back! Thank you for all your interest!

Music: Meet & Fun! - Ofshane

In this episode, we have invited another special guest: Jessalyn Lee! Jessalyn has been friends with KAL Pals since middle school, and although she is now attending a different high school, the four friends meet and talk regularly. Jessalyn has been mentioned in previous episodes as Lois's close childhood friend and now the KAL Pals audience finally has the chance to meet her! Jessalyn is incredibly artistic, intellectual, and has many valuable experiences to share. 

KAL Pals (mostly Lois) and Jessalyn share their past experiences with dating and the lessons that they have learned. 

Warning: This week's episode is extremely "cringe" and may bring back some (unwanted) middle school memories. Please proceed with caution.

One of the many things that KAL Pals have in common is that they are all the oldest child in their family. This is one of the longest episodes yet, mostly consisting of stories of annoying younger siblings and unreasonable expectations of KAL parents.

Welcome to another episode of the series, Just Spit It Out! We wanted to take a break from serious, heavy topics and talk about whatever came to mind. Don't worry, we have more ideas in store and will be back with creative episodes in no time. Until then, please enjoy our thoughtless, carefree conversations!

In this episode, we are finally addressing the main idea–or thesis–of our podcast. We originally started this podcast to talk more about our own identities and cultural differences that separate us from other people living in this country. For this week's episode, we discuss these differences and how they impact our life on a social level. We hope that many other Asian-Americans can relate to our experiences and non-Asian listeners could get an understanding of how their lives might differ from ours. KAL Pals realize that it is important to understand, embrace, and speak about these differences.

This week’s episode is just an unorganized, chaotic ramble of random thoughts (including college, sleep schedules, and job experiences) However, careful listeners can also hear the underlying stress and issues that each podcaster may be dealing with in her daily life. Also a possible start to a new series!

As junior year comes to an end, we wanted to share a few expectations for what our last year in high school might have in store for us. In this episode, we talk about our senior-year dreams as American students and what we are looking forward in experiencing before we graduate and become legal adults.
