Relationship or relationshit? 

We've all seen those teen movies full of love, bad acting, and cringy romance, but what really is the truth in the age of texting, facetime calls, DMs and snaps? Today we explore just what dating has come to in 2019 in comparison to other generations, expectations, and more. We also discuss how relationships are even built in a time where face to face means sending weird pictures back and forth over a cell phone.

When the adults are acting like children, the children sometimes have to step up to make change. Internationally, the subject of climate change, global warming, and the negative human impacts on the Earth are ignored. The scientists who are proving the facts are not being taken seriously by politicians and big business. The political authority is dominated by those who will die before climate change really takes place and as a result, the severity of the future of our planet is being jeopardized. We are the voters of tomorrow, and our voices should be heard. Join us today as we discuss the international youth climate strike that has taken the globe by storm. And, hear from some of the teens that will not be silenced until the earth's cries for help are silenced as well.

In a world where connection seems to be at our fingertips, there will always be a disconnect between people who speak different languages. Learning someone's vernacular language can provide a deeper understanding of one another and build a bridge of connection.  Today, Jennasea and Stephanie discuss why they are learning new languages, the methods they use to learn, and the importance of people learning more than just English.
