Be Square is a narrative-driven podcast that explores the uncertainty behind career paths, identity, and the pressure to “figure it all out” early in life. Through conversations with students and professionals at different stages of life, Boston Latin School senior Lucas Li breaks down the myth of a linear path and what it really means to grow in a world obsessed with certainty, prestige, and success. This is not a guide to having it all figured out. It’s a journey through indecision, possibility, and learning to be okay with not knowing where you're headed next.

    What College Doesn't Tell You

    What if the moment you’re “supposed” to have everything figured out… is actually just the beginning of more uncertainty?

From prestige-driven decisions to the anxiety of choosing a major, he explores why certainty feels so comforting—and why it rarely reflects reality.

    Stop Asking Me That

    It’s the summer before college applications, and everything feels like it should be exciting—until reality sets in. In this episode, Lucas sits in the space between freedom and pressure: a high school junior trying to enjoy the last stretch of summer while suddenly being forced to decide what comes next. As the idea of college begins to take shape, so do the expectations—major choices, career paths, and the unspoken pressure to pick something “safe.” Through conversations with peers and reflections on his own indecision, Lucas explores how prestige, family/ social expectations, and uncertainty quietly shape the decisions students make long before they even step on campus.
