  • Interviewing 6 People About Their Personal Uniform

    I wanted to explore the idea of the personal uniform, something we might all accidentally have created for ourselves. I interviewed six people about their personal style: Samantha Sclafani, Cailin Meskan, Mckenna Meskan, Julia Taylor, David Newcorn, and Ann Wilson. We discuss how our style has changed over time, things we absolutely will not wear, fear of being catcalled, and buying cashmere turtlenecks from Ebay (something Ann Wilson swears by). I hope you like it!

  • Overanalyzing Guilt: What Causes It & Morality Behind It w/ Cailin Meskan

    We are joined by the infamous Cailin Meskan today for a hearty conversation about guilt! What is it, where does it come from, and is it a beneficial phenomenon? How do guilt and sex interact? Do animals feel guilt? Enjoy! <3 ps... i'm sorry about the sound quality, there was a background humming that I tried to edit out and also we were in an echoey room using my phone microphone :-)

  • You Are Way Too Old To Read Another Teen Romance Novel

    Have you ever felt too old for a movie? Too young for a book? Let's talk about maturity and media. What is the age group for Y/A books? Isn't it weird for non high schoolers to watch movies that take place in high school? There are a lot of blurred lines when it comes to the age brackets for appreciatiating certain sectors of media. There are also a lot of ways we can appreciate things that may go beyond age. Tune in to hear all about it!

  • So You Think I Wanna Have A Baby

    Have you ever been told what to think about your future family life? I definitely have. Today's episode is all about the expectations of motherhood and marriage. It's something that infiltrates your mind early in life and only grows stronger. At this age, we feel pressure to structure our decisions around our future goals. Sounds pretty crazy... let's discuss.

    Entertaining and interesting places to learn about pregnancy:
    https://www.youtube.com/c/ColleenVlogs/videos - Not a huge fan of her, but her pregnancy vlogs taught me a lot!

    https://www.youtube.com/user/imusuallysuspect - Loved her channel before she got pregnant and possibly love it more now? Check her out, and she has a podcast about money, sex, relationships, and parenthood called "Between Neens and Deens" that I highly recommend.

    https://www.youtube.com/user/xCreativeTouchx - Loveee her ASMR channel, and this channel is also super relaxing! Just another vlogger with a new baby.

  • My Beef With Fashion Trends

    In this episode I reflect on the idea of trendiness. What does it mean to be basic? Does one do it on purpose? How is there elitism in trendiness? Is anything original anymore? How has the skinny white girl been the epitome of trendy aesthetics, and how is it detrimental to everyone?

  • Giving Myself Advice Like It's For Someone Else

    This is a little bit TMI... I ask myself (?!) questions about dumping friendships, if I should leave my quaranfling, and how to deal with my relationship to alcohol. I consult the big books (my past diary entries) and all around probably reveal too much. Hopefully it helps you with similar issues!

  • How Big Is Your... Purse

    Today we learn about the purse! The handbag! The satchel! I talk about the history of the purse and some major influences throughout time. How has the purse become essential to women? Why don't men feel the need to carry anything? We really get into it while referencing the article "Men Know It's Better To Carry Nothing" from The Cut. Also, my parents are featured in short interviews! It's so fun!

  • Romance Movies Are My Drug of Choice

    I discuss why I and other people are attracted to watching movies and television for the romance. I go into details with particular media I have consumed, including a deep dive on Netflix's new hit porno 365 Days. Also, this is your daily reminder to keep workin on anti-racism! Read some stuff! Donate! This fight is far from over.
