As You Should

It's corona time! This is the first of (many) episodes from quarantine. Naturally, we start with discussing life in quarantine; Ema shares her experience as a graduating senior and the mental challenges it entails, while Julia explains the Danish concept of "hygge" to brighten up your Q-time. Then we make our way into a current hot topic: Tik Tok. As seasoned dancers ourselves, we deliberate the pros and cons of tik tok dancing and the consequences of young fame. We hope this makes it on your #fyp #likeforlike #dontletthisflop... FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! @asyoushouldpodcast

FINALLY! This week, we are in Denmark and begin to unpack what we've missed in each other's lives for the past semester. We delve into the difficulty of transitioning out of college (spoiler alert: it's hard on the mind) and discuss risk-taking and independence while abroad (spoiler alert: Julia has HUGE balls). We also cover our new favorite show Love Is Blind (NO spoilers!) and give updates on our love lives...positive or negative? You need to listen to find out. Last, we recorded this episode before the coronavirus pandemic struck Denmark and everyone across the world went into true quarantine. We will be discussing that in future episodes; just know that our perspectives may have slightly changed now that we are confined to our homes. Please stay inside and wash your hands.

We knows it’s been a hiatus but WE’RE BACK! And here to stay! On a more serious note... Trigger warning: this episode candidly discusses abusive in relationships, both physical and emotional. Please listen at your own discretion. Ema gives us the rundown on the cycle of abuse from her point of view, from both inside and outside perspectives. These are the experiences of one individual; we understand that not every experience is the same, nor is any statement generalizable. If you or a loved one is suffering, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. We love you guys.

This time, we're asking the real questions: does New Years always have to suck? In this week's episode, we discuss the pressure of making plans on New Year's Eve. We question the disappointment that often follows (especially when you don't get that kiss at midnight!) and new years resolutions, specifically the seemingly impossible feat of getting toxic people out of your life. Ema recaps her night on the town and Julia shares ways to reframe your thinking going into the new year. New year, same us baby! FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! @asyoushouldpodcast

This week, we're keeping it in the family. For our first mini episode, Julia brings her wholesome baby brother on the line to discuss life as a freshman in college, debunk social media behavior from a more youthful perspective, and explore the mysteries of the cosmos (astrology). After all, according to Costar: a feral animal may injure your body, but an insincere friend may traumatize your mind. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! @asyoushouldpodcast

How about THIS for some holiday cheer! In this week's episode, we only scratch the surface of holiday debacles including the transition between college and home, revisiting old friendships, and the mysteries of cuffing season. We also spend a good amount of time discussing the phenomenon that is Peloton. Enjoy.

Finals week: we've had a lot of yerba mate. This week, we bring you yerba-induced hyperness while discussing the ins and outs of proper "phone etiquette" amongst our generation. We ponder who decides how long is too long to not respond to a text, consider what the infamous "open arrow" on Snapchat means, and answer YOUR questions about virtual communication! There may not be one right way to do it, but we think we're always right. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! @asyoushouldpodcast

Is it me? Is it them? Or is it us? In this week's episode, we tackle how to move on from relationships, friendships, or even situationships that might have gone sour. We explore the inevitable reliance on technology to fuel a relationship, navigating toxic friendships, and reconnecting with yourself while people come in and out of your life. That's right, it's all about letting it GO (Julia is excited to see Frozen II in case you couldn't tell)! FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM! @asyoushouldpodcast

Tea time? Why yes it is. In this week's episode, we share our experiences and thoughts as newly minted members of the LGBTQ+ community. We debrief the moments we realized we were attracted to more than one gender, deconstruct common bisexual and pansexual stereotypes, and give you a true, rough sketch of the inside of our minds. We're newbies here! Are you Bi enough?
