Back again! I've spent the past three weeks in Copenhagen, Denmark, taking a class on Social Change and Active Citizenship. The final project for this class was to create a podcast, and my group had the opportunity to interview really interesting people and talk about democratic education in Denmark. Our conversation was eye opening and I thought it deserved a space to exist besides in the Canvas submit box.

After a semester long hiatus, Just Trying to Exist returns with new and old voices! This episode, Paige, Clare, Bea, and I discuss how we are just trying to exist, but is the world real? There is much discussion around the Sims, the fact that humans don't in fact come from monkeys, and many tangents along the way.

On this episode, Bea and Isa are back with me to discuss trying to exist but...hobbies. A very chatty time with many tangents, we take you through some of our favorite hobbies, how hobbies have a large connection to your identity, and how to find a fun hobby that is good for your mental health!

In this episode, my two best friends (Isa and Bea), and I tackle the topic of just trying to exist, but as a female. After a fun bit of chit chat and setting the scene, we dive into the roots of the patriarchy along with a brief history of the evolution of women's rights. Stay till the end for our takes on RuPauls Drag Race, and the benefits of being a girly.

In this episode, Katie, Bea, and I unpack the difficulty that is existing while being the age of nineteen. The never-ending questions of what you're doing with your life while being forced to make some of the biggest decisions of your life thus far make for quite a time. While we may rant, stay tuned to the end for the biggest positive(s), our apartment aesthetics!

Whether or not we know it, social media impacts nearly every aspect of our daily lives, making it a big factor in our current existence. After a brief intro of Katie and I's origin story, we share some of our thoughts on the topic. Digressions include how we both probably should delete Tik Tok but won't, the terror that is iPad kids, and share a few stories in between. Stay tuned to the end for a look at our Receiptifies from the last month!

Get to know me while I have one of my best friends Lou ask me a few fun and quirky questions. Topics range from our origin story as best friends to core memories we've had recently and even our two sense on olives. Bonuses include Lou describing a murder game and us getting excited over seeing some dogs!
