Today we talk self-growth apart from school, feeling stuck, whether everything happens for a reason, our ideal living locations, why Yummy is a musical masterpiece, and sooo much more.
Today we dish out on conflict in our own relationship with each other, being okay with being alone, finding the right people, and knowing when to let them go.
High school is suffocating. Today we talk productivity vs. self worth, abolishing College Board, and whether our identities are reflected in the curriculum.
