To make room for our 15 minutes of raving about "Song of Solomon", I am sorry to tell you I omitted our discussion on a few books. My deepest apologies to the die-hard fans of "The Baron In The Trees", "The Thief And The Dogs", and "The Great Gatsby" (they're actually all great books, it's just that our discussion of them wasn't all that insightful).

Hope you enjoy the episode!

Unfortunately, I did have to cut out our discussion on some works to keep a reasonable episode time duration. So if you only came for Huckleberry Finn, Beowulf, Oedipus Rex, Antigone, or Macbeth - sorry to disappoint.

Fun Quiz for this episode- Can you guess which character I was doing an impression of when saying, "I was 15 when I came- Now I'm 35!"

I hope you enjoy us trying to remember plot points of these classic works of literature! And, of course, that your 2020 has gotten off to a positive start. :)

After doing a total of TWO (2) Look Back's of the year, I think 2019 overall was pretty alright. It's the end of the decade too, which is strange to think about. I wonder what the 2010's are going to be known for.

As per tradition (built over 2 eps), I invited my pal Ayesha to talk about (nearly) everything that happened in 2019. We laugh (in fear) over the Fyre Festival's Evian water meme, roast the Operation Varsity Blues scandal, and marvel at the black hole photo, discussing events from January to June.

It feels like a mere 12 months ago I was recording the last look back....strange.

As per suggestion from my swolemate Katie (check out Ep 11!), I share a story from anthropology class that I told at least 5 separate people immediately after learning. A hilarious but strikingly fascinating way to manage overprideful hunters, this facet of Dobe Ju/'hoansi culture is something I think we can all integrate a little into our own lives.

INSULT! HIS! MEAT! A necessary burden we all must take for the good of our society. Truly.

I hope you enjoy listening! :)

Post-opening night:

Getting to meet so many cast members of all different roles made me appreciate the musical as I watched it, seeing everything come together, from costumes to choreography to harmonies. There's such an amazing feeling in the air, witnessing what so many students have put countless hours into. It's just amazing.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode. Go watch the fall musical!

(Un)professional health nut Katie Zhang and I discuss her favorite health gurus ("I am a straight male, but I would get with Dr. Mike"), becoming the Voltron of your best self, the secret to a long life (from what we've read), peer pressure as a tool to maintain habits, and more! At the end of the episode I talk about some of the health research that we weren't able to mention.

High schoolers (ahem, *seniors*) are busy. That's a bit of an inevitable fact. But that doesn't mean that you should completely disregard your health, especially your sleep cycle. The habits we create will carry on to our adulthood, and we need to make sure that we take care of our health now since the long-term ramifications will be more serious.

I hope you all learned something from this episode. Get more sleep, find good friends (aka SWOLEMATE), and take care.

For this episode, I interviewed two student athletes from our high school.
- Swimmer Katherine Blake dives into the world of waking up at 4am for 2 hour swim practices (before school!), the importance of balance, and her goal to educate people that swimming is more than just about winning.
- Volleyball player and high school team captain Laila Rogers discusses the role mental strength plays in her game, dealing with injuries while playing, and having her hard work pay off in the end (literally, as in a full-ride scholarship).

I had a lot of fun talking to Katherine and Laila about their commitment to their sport, but moreover, I found it fascinating to hear about their ambitions beyond athletics, their dreams for things outside of their game. It's a nice surprise when I learn more about people and they go outside of my expected image of them (not to stereotype, but you know what I mean).

Just a note, a little off-topic, but I encourage everyone to try as many sports as they can. With the right people to coach and play with, they can be a fantastic experience.

Anyways, I hope that you have learned something from this episode, and that you can spare some time in the future to go outside and play some sports :)

Childhood memories will never fail to make me cringe and cry laughing. I feel like I was such a different person- back then I stayed up until midnight on my tenth birthday as a special treat. Now I stay up past midnight for no good reason. What a time that was.

Hope you all enjoy listening to Clare and me exposing free blackmail for ourselves. It was a lot of fun :)

This is more of an audio montage of unrelated memories, ranging from my old music teacher (who was possibly Thanos), Catholic school SCAMS, getting locked in the bathroom as punishment, using Junie B. Jones as writing inspiration, and other things.

In the next part, you will hear our 4th and 5th grade memories, when we finally meet at Cold Spring ES - so stay tuned (or perish)!

Ever since my mom has told me her childhood (horror) stories about going to school in South Korea, I thought it would be fun to learn about school systems around the world, just to find out how this whole experience of education varies from country to country. For this episode, I go over school systems in Finland and Singapore, countries hailed for their (extremely different) methods and processes for teaching children. Then I delve into the U.S. school system (though, the majority of this part is me dragging it), and drop some interesting facts about school in South Korea, Norway, Germany, and France. Finally, I wrap up with final thoughts about education in general.

I also filmed a behind-the-scenes video for the making of this episode! The video will be out... eventually. Could be a year, could be ten years, who knows? Certainly not me.

These sorts of topics are always fun to research- I'll definitely be making more ramble episodes in the future. I hope you learn something new and enjoy listening to the episode :)

To take you into the lives of people for whom gun control is a year-round issue, I interviews three student activists about their work and perspectives on the problem:
-Lydia Levy discusses the importance of student marches for political change and staying informed.
-Isabelle Scholes-Young clears up some misconceptions about the gun control movement and talks about using student marches as a first step for activism.
-Anand Chitnis detailing the many ways that students can create political change and talks about his predictions for the future of the movement.

Afterwards, I go over some gun control history, past acts of student activism (e.g. HARVARD BUTTER REBELLION 1766 - WILD), and the general sides of the gun control debate.

I know that it's difficult to stay on an issue 365 days a year, but real change requires persistent action. Sometimes I wonder, when I look back on my time spent in these days, will I be content with the effort I made for these issues? Maybe. Will you?
Hope you learn something new from this episode and take time later to research things that are important to you :)

In this episode, I chat with two bisexual/pansexual non-binary high school students about their experiences being LGBTQ. We start off with Logan, who talks about their journey to understand their gender identity and how the school only has gender-neutral bathrooms on the first floor (which is really inconvenient if you gotta go two floors up). Later, Lew discusses their story of being non-binary, changing their name, and the importance of Pride Month. After the interviews, I recap on LGBTQ+ history, ramble about the commodification of Pride, and so on.

While researching for this episode, I realized how lucky we are to live in this time period specifically. The U.S. and the world was a dangerous place for LGBTQ+ people in the past, even just a decade ago - it makes you grateful for the people who had it the hardest.
Also, I added music! Progress!
Hope you all learn something new from this episode :)
