In this week's episode, Kelsey and Sonia talk about the anxieties of going back to school.

In this week's episode, we launch the very first episode of the MI Series! Today we have Frances talking about her ADHD and OCD, and how those mental illnesses have affected her life.

Towards the end, Frances talks about what she learned throughout her journey, and gives important advice to the audience who may be struggling with recovery.
On this weeks episode, the whole podsters are on! We talk about our summer plans and senior plans. With AP exams just around the corner, all of us are the stereotypical tired, stressed, and burnt out students at Lowell. Stay tuned for the next episode!
In today's episode, Kelsey, Sherry, and Sophia talk with some special guests, Joanna and Donna (socials will be in our instagram)! We talk about how we are all not 100% type A and type B people, but rather a mix of both. We also describe how quarantine has affected all of our lives, including scheduling, getting more free time, improving our mental health, and finding more things we genuinely like. One thing we truly want to emphasize is it is not fair to compare ourselves to other people with different backgrounds, traits, and environments. Enjoy! :)
(TW!) In this week's episode, Kelsey and Sonia talk about sexual assault culture, and how that involved society always blaming the victim. We talk about why victims do not report their sexual assaults, whether they feel ashamed, blame themselves, or are not even aware that it is sexual assault. At the end of the day, consent is very important from all genders. Always feel free to call a hotline if you need someone to talk to! Your feelings are always valid :)

In the second part of this 3 part series, The Storm and The Just Lost Team talk about the untold truths of becoming a leader and starting an organization. Having multiple extracurriculars and becoming involved does not mean we do not turn in assignments late or have straight A's. In fact, expectations, comparisons, and imposter syndrome are amplified. Often times, we feel like we neither deserve our leadership positions, nor think we are the "perfect high school student". We also discuss what passions drive us in continuing our organizations.

In the second part of the episode, Kelsey and Janet go more into detail about the model minority, and trying to distinguish the difference between the model minority and actual Asian Culture. It seems to be a consistent pattern that Asians are taught not to speak up when put in certain situations. Kelsey goes more into detail about how those internalized values and the ongoing societal expectations of speaking up has been a struggle for a while. Janet talks more about the systemic racism and how that affects us w/o us even knowing. In the end of the podcast, we share our perspective on the anti-black sentiment in the asian community. Thank you for listening, and enjoy :)
In this weeks episode is a two part "series" of Asian American culture and general feelings about the hate crimes. In this specific episode, Kelsey and her cousin, Janet, talk a little bit about what the model minority is and how Asians got that role (and also how terribly it affects other races). We also briefly talk about the historical racism towards Asians. Not only that, we will go into more detail about how Asian culture has been treating us, especially about the struggles of being first generation Asian Americans. Thank you for listening :)
(TW talks about eating issues) In today’s episode, Kelsey and Sonia talked about our struggles with our body during quarantine. Whether that be food babies or fear of wearing crop tops, we both come to an agreement that we have given up on dressing nicely. We also talk briefly about our eating habits. Last but not least, this episode was just a nice mental check in for the both of us, but we are both mentally tired. Enjoy! :))
In today's podcast, Shavonne joins Sherry, Kelsey, Sophia, and Sonia to talk about her own racist experiences at school. We talk about what inspired her to take on her leadership roles, and her thoughts on performative activism. Internalized racism is real, and it is our responsibility to be aware of the discrimination people of color face. Privilege is real, and acknowledging you have this privilege is the first step to combatting racism. Some people just are not aware of what people of color face, so it is important to stay educated and learn.
On this weeks episode we discuss the growing divide in our nation. We talk about the inauguration, women’s rights, and everything social media and TikTok has done to impact our political views. Red or blue, democratic or republican, we urge everyone to do their own research and stay educated. Check it on Spotify @ Just Lost Podcast!

In this week's podcast, we have CLARK NGUYEN joining Kelsey, Sherry, and Sophia talking about procrastination and how we have seen ourselves grow this past quarantine. Everyone procrastinates, EVERYONE, but we describe the ways we procrastinate, and how you need to take baby steps to counter it. We also talk about how all of us has grown individually, and how recognizing our flaws was the first step to that.

In this weeks podcast, we talk about the effects of always comparing ourselves to other people with extracurriculars. The pressure from colleges to figure out what we want to do in the future is exhausting for us. Sonia talks about hating the label put onto us from SAT scores, while Sophia talks about why she isn’t even taking the SAT this year. It is SUPER IMPORTANT to figure out what you personally love doing, but how are we suppose to figure this out in high school?
HEY GUYS in today's episode we talked about how anxious we act when meeting new people and in awkward situations. Even extroverts can get nervous when approaching people. Kelsey and Sonia give each other awkward situations to see how they would act. We are all awkward, even people who seem to be very likable and funny. Enjoy :)
Hey guys today we introduce SONIA JECKLE WOOO INTO OUR PODCAST!! Kelsey and Sonia talked about their friendship, and the events that occurred that forced them to stop talking for awhile. We also talked about what makes a good friendship and a bad one from our own personal experiences. Moral of the story, do not be afraid to acknowledge your toxic traits! It helps you grow as a person and might even save a friendship :)
Today we talked about basically ALMOST EVERYTHING IN SCHOOL. We talked about our super duper competitive school and how it is REALLY EASY TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHER PEOPLE. Kelsey also talks about how volleyball took a toll on her mental health, and Sherry talks about how gymnastics changed her view on body image. Also main points: stop judging yourself bc/ you will judge other people and to stop comparing yourself with other people. You are a bad bitch, do not think otherwise.
In this week's episode we have JONNY LEE WITH US. We talked about the middle school phase of superstar shoes and kids who wore bright lazer lemon hoodies. Also, we talked thought about our opinions on zodiac signs again and realized it was kinda bs. But, we did talk about our own experiences with changing our personalities and other people doing that as well. ENJOY!
On this episode, we talk about how dumb gender norms are and to do what you want. It is your life! Do not waste it. Also, Kelsey and Sherry are Leos, and we believe it is accurate at least for us. Also, we have 2-1 vote tampons to pads. try to change our minds, you can't.
Today, Sophia, Sherry, Kelsey, and Jonathan talk about the need for popularity in high school, and a couple of tips as well for coming into high school. We want to get the message across that the things you are dealing with or dealt with, we dealt with it too. Do not be afraid to reach out to other people. You are not alone :)
This episode is just going to just be about us talking about random things: birthday parties, toxicity in sports, dance moms, and much more. Thanks to Adrianna for talking with us today :)
In this episode, we talk with Adrianna about how knowing basic knowledge about current events and voting is not as dreadful as you think. Even as a youth, there are still many things you can do to use your voice. We also talked about respecting political views and the importance of understanding both sides.
Welcome to our very first podcast! We are so excited to create a platform to talk about topics about what is like being a teenager. It is also a place to discuss current events going on in the world that is good to know for the future. Today, we are doing little introductions about ourselves and what quarantine has been like for us.
This just a tiny trailer of what is to come. Episode coming this Monday so stay tuned :)
