Hi loves! Welcome to the Second Season of NaskoChats! In this week's episode, my sister and I catch you guys up on her first year of college, my last year of college, and everything happening in our lives. We talk about the transition from high school to college and compared it with my eventual transition from college to working in the real world. We discuss our 2023 expectations, our exciting trip to Bulgaria, and how we will navigate that as we have not gone back since 2019 (4 years ago). And we discuss our usual holiday shenanigans and usual Christmas traditions. Hope you enjoy it!

Additionally, I wanted to bring a spotlight on the tragedy and bigoted/homophobic attack at Club Q, a queer night bar/club, in Colorado Springs, CO. I have linked articles about the tragedy, a donation link to the Trevor Project for queer youth advocacy, and other links on direct impact you can make to help the community and families in Colorado Springs, CO.
