Life as a GenZ Teen ; Personal Growth, Insta, Friendships, GCSEs, Judgemental People, Poetry, KCL & Inspirations. A Conversation with ELIZA ALI // Pt 1
Hey Guys,
Welcome back!
Today, I have such a special guest lined up for you. I've known today's guest for several years now, in fact, I really have seen her grow up into the fine young woman she is today. She's just finished her GCSEs, congrats ;) and now she's the youngest guest yet on the show - doing it for the school kids! Please let me introduce you to, my friend ... ELIZA!
In today's episode we have a fun and honest conversation about what it's like to be a teenager in modern day British society. We dive into the world of school, friendships, hobbies, relationships, social media and just generally finding yourself.
We begin by learning about Eliza's own personal growth and journey. Indeed, having always known Eliza as an outgoing and self assured young lady, I was myself surprised to learn she wasn't always like this. Primary school Eliza was in fact a very shy girl who barely spoke to anyone. But now, how times change, now she's an aspiring future barrister!
Eliza passes on some wise words about friendship and stresses the importance of finding people who accept and love you for being your true self and people who genuinely want you to succeed rather than being jealous of you, something which I strongly agree. Also, we talk GCSEs, their importance but also highlight the how GCSES do not define nor value you as a person, something which is extremely important to appreciate.
Being judgemental is something I personally cannot stand.
For me, a judgemental person is someone who continuously judges others solely based off of a social media account, an anecdote which 90% of the time is not even accurate or any other indirect encounters with their name but then somehow feel entitled to judge that individual's entire character. However, indeed, the only character of a person in all of this being exposed is theirs.
To conclude this first part of the two part hour podcast, I give a little story time of when Ranya & I basically gatecrashed a history event at KCL and ended up having the support and enthusiasm from the phd students and academic staff in the department. It is now a memory that both Ranya & I so dearly cherish, it was so wholesome, it is really hard for me to properly describe. Big up Kings College London !!
Hope you enjoy part 2, I'll see you there ;)
