    S1E1 - A Blank Sheet of Paper

    The first and foremost thing required as part of learning is having a piece of paper – whether as part of a notebook or as a large rolled-up sheet if you’re in architecture school. This episode talks about the significance of said medium and how you use your sketchbooks to create super successful art Instagram accounts with your unique collection of thoughts, ideas, and illustrations.

    S0E5 - The Lesson Plan

    A planner but it’s for the podcast. This was supposed to be the original introduction to the podcast, but my prologue has turned out to be much longer than it was supposed to be, oops? But here's the overview of what architecture school entails, what courses you'll be studying, majorly, and everything that will be discussed in a lot more detail later on. Season 1, featuring inferences from the first semester of college will be out soon! Available on all major podcast streaming platforms!

    S0E4 - You are the Competition

    In the words of every sage wisdom ever, you are only competing with yourself. I just got a promotion guys, I’m not only a career counselor, but I’m actually a life coach. Listen for some motivation, pretty good life advice, and how all of this is related to architecture school. I'm not exactly sure, but at least the life advice is overall inclusive and open to all?

    S0E3 - What to Expect when you ~don’t know~ what to Expect

    The misinformation, or really, the lack of information. But how much information is too much information? This week, we try and decode what makes architecture different and why is architecture school the way it is. Targeted to an audience who haven't gone through architecture school, whether or not they're planning to go through it at all. But let's not have expectations, right?

    S0E2 - ‘Why did you take Architecture?’

    I am now a career counselor. I also have an invitation for all of my fellow frustrated contemporaries because that’s exactly what you want to do – post cryptic mini-paragraphs about your life publicly. Let’s crib about our lives and indulge in perfectly safe, definitely exaggerated cult-like rituals. I can’t wait to hear from you! Available on all major podcast streaming platforms!
