In this episode, I get real about what it was like working in a restaurant/club. Servers do NOT get paid enough to deal with the BS and I had enough. Between feeling objectified and disrespected in my workplace and not getting paid enough at all, it was time to call it quits. Now that it's over with, here's all the tea and ranting I've been holding in this year. Enjoy, and don't forget to tip your servers!

Interested in attending law school? I am! So, I asked my friend Kendra to share her story on how she got to where she is now: a 2L at Fordham Law. From immigrating to the U.S, joining speech and debate in high school, and interning in Washington D.C; Kendra shares how each component of her life prepared her for law school and gave me tips on how we can all prepare too. Huge shout out to Kendra for doing this episode with me! I had so much fun and if you have any questions, our socials are below:

In this episode, I invite one of my best friends Thalia to talk about attachment styles and how they impact our friendships and dating life. We share stories of our own experiences and dissect our individual styles. We also discuss chakras, what they mean and how to be more conscientious in the future. 

In this episode, I had to get real about going to university during corona. A lot of things have changed about college life, but the most important thing to remember is how to adapt. I talk about making friends online, dealing with quarantine and sharing one of the scariest experiences since school started: finding out I tested positive for COVID-19.
