Théa’s Tea

Hey, there! I kick this episode off with a tea talk (hibiscus tea in a Museo Del Prado mug) and a life update regarding vacation, college applications, and my occupations. I introduce the topic of making peace with the past through context and the structure for the episode. Then, I talk about how no decision is perfect by sharing stories, talking about destiny, explaining how regret won’t solve anything, and realising that the universe has a way of teaching us lessons. Next, I explore the art of acceptance: how time heals all wounds, how talking can help, and making the most of what you have. Afterward, I think about letting go: grudges that get in the way, paralysis, and how this is momentary. I wrap up with conclusions and my faves in backpacks and music.

Hey, there! This week’s episode begins with a tea talk (healing tea in a The Little Prince mug) and a life update about coronavirus, motivation, and what I’ve been up to. I introduce attention seekers with an imaginary scenario, clarification, and the structure for this episode. Next, I share the types of attention seekers: loud & subtle.

Afterward, I look at attention seeking as a part of humanity: our voids, the art of admiration, its beauty, and the humility inside the experience. Lastly, I wrap up with my key takeaways, and favourites in streaming services, songs, and TikTok trends before signing off.

Hey, there! I begin this week’s episode with a tea talk (cinnamon tea in an astronaut mug) and a life update about social service, vacation, and social life. I introduce competitivity with a clarification, anecdote, and structure for the conversation. Then, I talk about how exhausting competitivity can be: placing pressure on output, realising that I can’t be the best at everything, and understanding that I’m part of a team (and I should start thinking like that!). Next, I admit that competitivity is still important: it pushes us to improve, but, it can come with a burden, and it is important to distinguish collective from individual efforts. Afterward, I imagine what it would look like if these two aspects could coexist harmoniously. I wrap up with some takeaways, and weekly favourites in face masks, T-shirts, and groups before signing off.

Hey, there! This week’s episode was kicked off by a tea talk about cube tea in a Mexican mug, and a life update about standardised testing, my future, and normal life. I introduce this subject through stories, disclaimers, and the structure for this episode. First, I talk about how fake people aren’t your friends (except when they are) through stories, explanations, implications, and clarifications. Then, I talk about what to do in these situations: being weary, how to act, and what to keep in mind. Next, I depict “the art of indulging”, trying to understand why it’s so pleasing, analysing the teenager setting, and putting together the “connection” that is felt. To wrap up, I share my main takeaways and favourites in beauty, snacks, and movies.

Hey, there! Meet Kristian, a rising Harvard sophomore joint concentrating in Theatre, Dance, & Media and African American studies. We begin with a tea talk about Disney and some rapid fire questions revolving around routines, life lessons, and public messages. Then, we break down Kristian’s application process: ACTs, GPA, class rank, ECs, essays, standing out, and some advice— but she also reflects on the pressure in retrospect and puts these factors into perspective. Next, Kristian answers questions about life in Harvard: what it’s really like, academics, COVID, adjusting and surprises. Afterward, Kristian shows us how Harvard has become her home, and how she fits in with the Black community and YouTube. Lastly, Kristian asked me what I’m interested in, shared her recommendations and told us where to find her online. Thanks for joining us!

HERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK’S EPISODE:

“Stay true to who you are, know yourself, and don’t let people sway that”

“In your gut you know if something is good or bad, and growth will always feel good”

“Take a deep breath and calm down”

“Your test scores don’t define your intelligence, and they shouldn’t determine whether or not you get into a school”

“Test taking and actual school are so different”

“You want to get a good score, but if you don’t, that doesn’t invalidate you”

“This score helped me get here but it doesn’t define who I am”

“Don’t do something just for a college application”

“All my ECs show different sides of me”

“I grouped things together to narrow them down in terms of ECs”

“What type of person do I want to be in college?”

“You gotta gas up the most unique parts of your application”

“Spread your ECs evenly and make them represent the time you put into them and how important they were to you”

“I think essays are way more important than test scores because they represent the human part of your application”

“Do your research! Get yourself as familiar with the process as you can!”

“Just write it: figure out how you want to tell your story”

“Once you write a good essay, it’s easier to do more”

“You can’t put all of who you are on one essay; focus on one or two things at a time”

“Take every opportunity you have to show who you are”

“Be yourself! Be quirky, be weird, be funny!”

“Wherever you go you’re going to flourish and thrive”

“Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to get into a certain school”

“It can only go up from here”

“For me, it’s not about balance, but prioritisation”

“...Prioritising instead of trying to do it all”

“The Harvard black community is a family”

Thanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
