Tinder. Bumble. Hinge. If you’ve ever sought out a relationship, chances are you’ve tried at least one of these popular dating apps. Sometimes they go great, but most of the time they go very, very wrong. I outline 7 reasons why dating apps set us up for failure, as well as my own personal experiences with looking for love through a screen.

I’ve always wanted to be interviewed by Vogue, but that day will Iikely never come, so here we are. Get to know me a little better as I ask myself 76 personal questions with nothing but honest answers.

What is identity? To me, it’s such an umbrella term. Identity can include our characteristics, hobbies, interests, quirks and the way we think in everyday life. It’s always so fun to think about our identities and why we are the way we are. There are so many little factors that go into building our personalities. This episode dives into my own upbringing and how certain events from my childhood shaped my current persona.

Rom-coms have dominated pop culture and film since the beginning of time. Every single book and movie has some sort of romance in it, whether it’s the main plot or a sub-plot. Why are we so obsessed with the idea of love? Why do we love love so much? This episode will dive into those questions, while also ranking my favorite and least favorite tropes. Have a listen if you’d like to hear my opinions and theories on our relationship-obsessed generation.

This is our own twist on girl talk. Medha and I discuss the ups and downs of being a girl (but really just the downs) such as being afraid to just walk outside at night, the double standards we face, our time of the month, pressures to look/act a certain way….the list goes on and on unfortunately. So let’s talk about it.

This episode is meant for anyone who has ever felt different growing up.

Join me and my best friend as we retell our childhood experiences as Asian-Canadians. Of course everybody’s upbringing is different, but we share our own personal stories of dealing with Asian expectations, stereotypes, and cultural differences. Canada is often praised as an inclusive and diverse country, but micro aggressions exist everywhere, and I’m 110% sure that 90% of things listed in this podcast are a common experience.

We’ve all heard of a mid-life crisis. But nowadays a new term has surfaced online, and more youngsters than ever are claiming to be in a “quarter-life crisis.” What does this mean? And why is this such a common occurrence? Your 20’s should be ‘the best years of your life’ and yet if you ask someone in their twenties what they’re feeling, you’re guaranteed to get an answer revolving stress and fear. We’re not even a quarter yet into our life, so why are we feeling so much pressure? This episode dissects the origin of the term quarter-life crisis, why we’re feeling this way, and how to avoid having one.

From as young as I could remember, I always kept a diary. That diary was my safe space to vent, scream, spill tea and just write down any passing thoughts. I’ve been documenting my life from as young as middle school, and today, I thought I’d share some of them. Tonight I read through my journals from when I was 15, to 16, and even up to my more recent years in uni. It’s always so interesting (and cringy) to hear what my past self used to think, as well as what my life used to be like, so click play if you’d like to join in on this reflective (and embarrassing) experience :))

Being a girl is hard. But being a girl during her time of the month…SUCKS. When most people think of periods, they just think of mood swings, and thus this stigma is created where women will literally be in excruciating pain but still be told to “suck it up” and just go to school/work. This episode will dive into what it’s REALLY like during your aunt flow as well as tips on dealing with it.

This is a part TWO of our “what nobody tells you about university” episode. After filming the first one, me and Lyna discovered that there were still so many topics to be covered. Today, we chat about whether or not uni is a scam, the main differences between HS/college, and all other myths that the movies falsely advertise about the supposed “best four years of your life.”
