Hey y'all! In this week's episode you get to say hello again to my sister and meet my cousin, both of which are soon to be 12. We tackle two subjects this episode: childhood TV shows and graduation. In the first half, we discuss our favorite childhood shows and what our current thoughts on them are; a blast from the past, if you will. In the second half, [since we are all "graduating" in some shape or form] we talk about how it feels to graduate and move on from one school to the next, or potential fears we have.

I recorded this episode while sick from my vaccine so you BETTER APPRECIATE IT! I'm just being silly. In this episode, I talk about trusting yourself and how to see the signs you should end a relationship (friendship, romantic, etc). Trusting your gut, understanding your own values, and surrounding yourself with people who VALUE YOU, all coincide with each other. I also talk about the fuck-it mentality and diet and tell some storytimes from my graduation last week. YAY CLASS OF 2021!!

Getting wacky this Wednesday... In this episode, I talk about a recent emotional struggle I've had before getting into the goofie stuff. I then talk about some random anecdotal stuff (ie: the english language is weird, ur eyebrows look like cubes, kpop deserves to be listened to, where did old time love go, +more). It's really just all the random stuff I've been thinking and needing to say but haven't yet, and it's kinda ridiculous; therefore, you'll probably love it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/support

Welcome or welcome back! In this episode I talk about what mental approach is and ways to handle situations more maturely. I added some bonus sections talking about the show 13 Reasons Why after finishing the final season (little to no spoilers included). This includes discussing the show's approach, discussion of relevant issues, ranking the characters, and taking a quiz to find out which character I am most like. Though this episode may be a bit different, I hope you take away a good message and have fun.

In this episode I addressed numerous issues that I've seen and experienced in the duration of my time at a catholic school. Are all catholic schools the same? I don't know. All I know is that as far as I've seen there needs to be change. When I saw the post and its comments, I couldn't help but remember all of my own stories; however, I didn't touch on everything that I wanted to. Aside from the stories I told in this episode, the institution has awful classism and is not inclusive to the LGBTQ+ community. Though they give some financial aid, the school expects students to purchase and donate excessive amounts of money which many people cannot afford. This leaves those of us who aren't rich feeling guilty and less than our peers. Schools should teach their students to be less materialistic. The LGBTQ+ community had absolutely ZERO place on campus until the past 2[ish] years. Young women in this community still have little acceptance from the staff, and they continue to be unjustly punished for actions. These are all issues I am passionate about. People of all colors, sizes, sexuality, and personality deserve to be respected and heard. All that should matter is how good of a person they are. Treat them all like people; we are people. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/support

YO! this is my first ever attempt at filming an entire episode. As I am new and want to leave the "body" of each episode raw and honest, you are in for lots of awkward pauses and swallow breaks. Awkwardness aside, I address both the media [news, the paper, etc.] and social media in this episode. The harms and benefits are equally important, but what's most relevant is how it's affecting us in the modern day. Listen to my own experiences and opinions as I answer questions. As always, keep an open mind and stick around to grow together (like the tree in my cover photo). --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lauren-bernas/support
