I took a gap year before university! so I also reveal whether or not that gap year was worth it 👀 this episode is meant to be a community discussion starter on the opportunity costs of college & uni, so please be brave and share your own experiences with college & life in the comments!

E31: the TRUTH about modern chivalry | is chivalry REALLY dead like they say it is? the rise of princess treatment, equity vs. equality--the KEY to modern chivalry

in this episode, lyla explores the sentiments surrounding modern chivalry and questions whether or not "chivalry is dead". she provides examples of chivalry in real life and the resurgence of "princess treatment" as is popularized on social media, but also considers that everyone has different experiences and prefers to keep an open mind. the emphasis is the importance of bringing nuance into discussions about gender roles, and to deviate from extremism on either ends of the spectrum.  *lyla's opinions might change at any point as she continues to evolve and grow as any normal person, so keep in mind all thoughts in this video are ONLY a reflection of the time it was recorded.
