my love/hate relationship with education

I talk about my thoughts on how I want to improve this podcast and then get into my complicated relationship with the education system, learning, and grades. I touch on the controversy of College Board and a few pet peeves of mine when it comes to students (and how it relates to hustle culture). My experience with school has been quite a journey, so I hope you listen and let me know your story as well! I tested out a new outlining method for this episode so lmk if you notice a difference and how you felt about this episode in general!

my summer goals/ mid-summer check-in!

I talked about all my goals for this summer as I slowly ran out of breath in my closet! I also updated on how my goals are going and new habits that I’m looking forward to creating. Dm me or comment on my Instagram post and tell me one of your summer goals!

Basically, I hate Zoom.

Today I just wanted to talk about what I’ve been doing recently and how I’ve been feeling! I spoke a little about college and how I got out of my recent slump, but mostly just about how much I despise Zoom meetings 🙃

Who is Emma? (good question)

Welcome to the first episode of Emma Speaks!! I'm so excited to finally launch this podcast because I have been wanting to do it for sooo long. I just really love podcasts and I love having a creative outlet to work on and get better at so I have a good feeling about this :) In this episode, I introduce myself and talk about my interests, hobbies, and goals for this podcast and for my own future. You might have to turn your volume up btw hehe oops.  Instagram: @emmaspeakspodcast Resources: BLM: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ Mental Health for Teens: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/cryforhelp/featured/resources-hotlines-and-web-sites-for-teens/11/
