My Zillennial Life

This is it! We made it to episode 30 of My Zillennial Life! I have decided that this is the finale of season 1. And on this last episode, we're talking themed restaurants.  Places like The Rainforest Cafe, Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood were some of the many themed restaurants that gained popularity in the 90s. And although I have only been to a few themed restaurants, I do find lots of nostalgia in the  memories I made at these places. This is the last episode of this season and so I do want to thank everyone who has tuned in and listened throughout  the last 9 MONTHS! It's been so fun! I will be taking a break for a bit to regain some creativity and brainstorm episode topics for Season 2. I hope you all have an amazing June (and maybe July). I'll be back soon! 

On the 29th episode of My Zillennial Life, we're talking video games! From the Oregon Trail to Sims 2 and every Call of Duty Game ever, my younger years were full of fun games. I decided it'd be fun to sit down and talk Webkinz, days of trying to win The Oregon Trail and the year people were literally dying to get their hands on the Nintendo Wii. This is the second to last episode of Season 1 of MZL. I hope you all enjoy! 

"Chueg" or "Chuegy"  originated as a word in 2013 and has recently resurfaced on TikTok and social media platforms. It is Gen Z's way of calling things that millennials tend to do untrendy, basic or uncool in general. I think the term is hilarious and is a light hearted way of poking fun at some of the pop culture and fashion trends I myself even have enjoyed throughout the years. From ugg boots to having a weird obsession with the "The Office," there are lots of things that can be considered chuegy. So...are you a little chueg? 

Let's talk about school!

in this week's episode of My Zillennial Life, I decided to travel down memory lane and chat about the difference places I have gotten the chance to visit. From family vacations to Texas to studying abroad in Greece, traveling has always been a love of mine! Although 2020 put a stop to many of our adventures, I am hopeful that soon we will be able to experience new destinations again soon. 

I have had quite a busy, sad and also joyful past week or so. I decided it'd be a good idea to sit down and vent about the recent events in my life. From tragedies and loss to my celebrating my birthday and attending a beautiful wedding, life has been quite the rollercoaster recently. It feels like the people I love can never catch a break and grief is always waiting around the corner. I wanted to spend this episode sharing what the last 10+ days have taught me. 

On the 24th episode of My Zillennial Life, I decided to tackle my anxieties and cover some of the most common worries amongst zillennials and millennial. This week's episode was inspired by the fact that I am facing one of my fears this week and will be going to get my COVID-19 vaccination. I have dealt with "white coat syndrome" and  "vasovagal syncope" my entire life. So going to the doctor and getting a shot is not an easy task for me. I hope you all enjoy this episode and can relate to it in some way. We all have our own battles in life. This is just one of mine. 

On the 23 episode of My Zillennial Life, I cover everything from The Teletubbies and Lizzie Mcguire to Courage the Cowardly Dog and Dragon Tales. That's right, we're talking TV shows from our childhood! I decided to go through a list of 70 tv shows that many Zillennials may be familiar with. I hope you all enjoy this week's episode! Let me know which TV shows were your favorite as a kid. Follow me on Instagram @myzillennialpod to keep up with future episodes and see some rad memes. ;) 

In this week's episode of My Zillennial Life, I decided to talk relationships. Specifically the idea that many Zillennials and Millennials  are choosing to get married later in life or not married at all. I personally think marriage is a very beautiful but also very outdated concept. If anything, I want this episode to remind you that everyone is on their own timeline and path in life. Just because you're not married or don't have kids, doesn't make you any less of a human. 

Take a shot every time I say "pandemic" in this episode and I can guarantee you'll get drunk. This is the episode that no one asked for, but I'm doing it anyways. I have always been someone who likes  to reflect on the past and be nostalgic. Whether it's chatting about memories from sad or happy times in our lives, I love looking back on what's happened. And in this case, well it's  a lot. So I decided to spend 40+ minutes  discussing what the COVID-19 quarantine experience was like for me and what it taught me. I also discuss some purchases I made that I regret and don't regret. And unlike most episodes of this podcast, I basically don't touch on being a Zillennial at all. I believe that no matter what generation you're in, this past year and the experience in the pandemic is all something we've gone through together. It's something we'll remember forever. So that's why I wanted to sit down and share my thoughts and the things that 2020 taught me. And the things I am continuing to learn and this virus drudges on. This may have been a gloomy episode, but that wasn't my intention. Enjoy!
