Join her every other Sunday (or whenever her busy college schedule allows) for an introspective conversation on realizations she’s had, interesting (or not) stories from her 19 years of living, and everything in between.

   "too woke" or an ominous warning? a history of advertisements' entanglement with american politics

   By now, you've most likely heard of Sydney Sweeney's controversial ad for her American Eagle genes (whoops-- I mean jeans). While some may think the ad's critics are "too woke", I argue it exemplifies the far-right slope the United States has dove headfirst down. I share other historical examples of how companies align themselves with political and social trends, such as the unexpected rise of the disposable diaper and women's fashion trends-- from flapper dresses to the"sad beige mom" aesthetic. Every advertisement has a hidden message, and this episode reveals some of the most telling.

In this episode I elaborate on these consequences while introducing ideas like the Technological Advancement Parabola and the 'Casual' Instagram movement (which, I decide, isn't really casual at all).

   expectations vs. reality: my 1st semester at duke university

   After my first semester as an official college student, I have a lot to reflect on: thought-provoking things I learned in my classes (like how climate change came to be controversial in the US), a tentative answer to 'Should college be the best time of your life?', and unexpected takeaways about Duke's political culture and social trends, to name a few.
