life after college (so far)

falling behind on social media

it’s the time of year recaps. somehow, they’ve made me feel inadequate and lost- i’ve compared my life to those i see online and felt like i didn’t do so many things that others did. i’ve been addicted to my phone the way we all have- but it’s been taking a toll on me now more than ever. in this short episode, i’m back from my hiatus to discuss what’s been on my mind recently- and how it’s time to unpack the thoughts and let go of expectations i set for myself because of social media comparison.

conversations with friends: celebrating achievements

if you’ve ever wondered about what 3 psychology graduates talk about, over-analyzing our behavior is a big part of it. mahika, akanksha and i dove into why we don’t celebrate our achievements anymore, and why were always running after the next big thing. it’s important to stop every once in a while and realize that we’ve actually come far from where we started on our path, whether it’s personally or in our future careers, and this is something we just realized we need to do. all work and no play is never fun, after all :)

quarter life crisis?

we all hit moments in life where we question our second guess our path and our future. i hit a similar roadblock recently where i was suddenly not so sure about the next step in my career, something i had planned since years. in this episode i pretty much run my thoughts out loud and discuss the feelings attached to having doubts about our life plans and dealing with change, especially if it’s a change we don’t want.

life after college (so far)

graduation is cool and everything, but life immediately after is a little weird. the transition from having a strict schedule for most of our lives to making our daily plans ourselves feels scary but also fascinating at the same time. in this episode, i’ve tried to navigate my own feelings post college and where my head is at right now. there’s a lot to do, and maybe not enough time to do it, but i’m grateful for the fresh start and excited to see where it goes.

conversations with friends: starting over

this episode is so special to me because it’s with my best friend- sunayana. she’s definitely had a crazy life so far and if anyone’s life is a rollercoaster, it’s hers. this episode tracks her academic journey of gap years, shifting schools, going abroad and coming back, and finally finding her footing in a place she can call home. starting over in your career can seem scary, and it takes a toll on your mental health as well, but sometimes, it’s just what we need. we all take the wrong turn in life at some point or another, and even though it may seem scary, all you need to do it go back and undo it, for your own good :)
