I'm obsessed with aesthetic. 

That's why this podcast, which is about my 7.38 mile, is called 7.38, and is 7 mins and 38 seconds long.

So enjoy me rambling in excitement about my 7.38 mile, 3 minutes faster than my 10.38 one a year-and-a-half ago.

I love myself and this journey of running.

It's been incredible.

Well I gave most of the information for this podcast in my newly formed "intro" which I hope you liked :)

I've still gotta come up with some intro music... who knows if that'll ever happen.

But I thought about this thing yesterday and figured I'd share it with you all... at the cost of sleeping at 10:30 PM.

So please enjoy ;)

YOU THOUGHT RECORDING A PODCAST WAS EASY, DID YOU NOW

yeah it isn't actually that bad

this time, it seems my mind had other plans though

here's some special bts from the new podcast coming soon :)

PS: if you came here for BTS you'll get them eventually, don't worry. i'm kinda obsessed with them so a podcast on them is long overdue. unfortunately, this time you'll have to settle for me saying no to myself ;)

I've been working on my personal statement.

It hasn't been easy.

It's been fun though.

And I'm gonna get through it.

But I wanted to unpack a bit of how I was feeling.

So here we are :)

I promise you I'll find it.

If you're looking for some too, join me.

It's 9:04 and 23 seconds.

I'll head to bed.

I'll type less, and live more.

See you soon.

That title intrigued you huh.

It made you excited.

Curious.

Ready to launch a relentless hunt on Google until you find the solution, even?

Well... that's a rabbithole for ya.

And that's exactly what we're about to talk about today.

Because they suck.

And we need to stop falling into them.

We'd live much better lives without them.

At least, ones that are destructive!

Welcome to The Auditorial.

An Ariv Adventure.

I'll say less here, so you can listen to me say more when you click that play button :)

I know I'm verbose... I'm working on it. 

But I've gotta tell you, I don't mind it.

So stick around, whether you're a 2x speed-er or a simple 1xer who prefers REAL PERSON AUDIO.

I love you all either way.

Thanks for coming along on this journey with me.

I appreciate you so so so much.

And don't forget to subscribe and rate me and give me ALL YOUR MON- I'm just kidding.

I'll see ya around :)

PS: This was the first recording of my redone intro. Since then, I came up with many different ideas on how to redo it, including making my intro a conversation about why intros are hard ;). As you can tell, I chose to not record them... the first recording, in my opinion, speaks volumes that any other version just can not do justice to.

Hi.

I never understood why artists of any kind named one of their works after themselves.

Now I do.

These five minutes your about to listen to are ones that many struggle to give themselves, myself included.

Listen to mine, but keep in mind yours.

Love yourself.

Because, after all, you are deserving of your love.

PS: This podcast is number 50. It's the number I set for myself before I'd publicly begin mentioning this podcast to people. The day has finally come. Am I a little bit nervous, nahhhh. I'm excited to give this to people, because it truly is me. So thank you Ariv, for the past, present, and future. 

Learnt something pretty cool.

I've always been social.

We normally only see growth from the eyes of others, so seeing this was interesting!

Thank you Martial Arts I guess :)

That has been the question indeed.

For my AP tests, this question was all too difficult to answer.

But the answer that did come was the most simple that had ever graced my mental corridors...

Yes, take them.

Some thank yous are in order...

Thank you Anneka, for kicking my brain out of its negative phase.

Thank you Aditya and Karthik, for reminding me once again how it's not the score that matters, but it's the fun you have getting it that is.
