I don't 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: want to see it because honestly, like my favorite time 37 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: of the day is when I like turn it off. Um, 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: there's really and like nothing pressing, Like I don't like 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't really like snapchat people. I don't. I just 40 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: like text and do take talk and take Instagram pictures 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: and then I post it and turn it off. See 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: that sounds lovely. I think Snapchat is terrible. I think 43 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: it's interesting, but terrible, but just because like the snap 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: maps a big thing where you live, Yeah, it is. 45 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've experienced this, but like in 46 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 1: the city, it can be really hard because you'll see 47 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: people hanging out together like on snap maps. When they 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: say they're not, it's like this, it was this whole thing. 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's funny. Like no one.

Like everyone is like doing their 54 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: own thing and very private about it. But it's like fun. 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: It's like gossip Girl, like the little like maths that 56 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: they use. I okay, here's a question.

But I don't know. I really like it, 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: but I when when did you say was the last 88 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: time you came here?

But like then again, like 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: that's so crazy, Like that's all I want to do 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: is go to New York. I had tickets for this 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: past weekend and I had them planned and then we 96 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: had to cancel them. So it was a sad moment. 97 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: But have you seen any Broadway shows? Because that's the 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: one thing that if you're here that I recommend.

We were the same age. 109 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: We're both in high school, and it's really I don't 110 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: know about you, but I'm finding it really difficult, as 111 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, school has gotten really weird because of COVID 112 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: to just like have a healthy work life balance with 113 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: school and that it's also finding a balance with friends 114 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: who are there for the right reasons. I know you 115 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: started social media and like March, how in the time 116 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: that you've been on social media, have you noticed any 117 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: people coming back into your life out of the blue 118 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: when you go viral? Oh? Yes, I think from like 119 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: all different years of my life, like all years in 120 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: all grades, like people have come back, Like the people 121 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: that have hurt my feelings have been like will you 122 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: unblock me?

Like I'd love to hang out And 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm never like I'm not necessarily a mean person, and 125 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: so I don't like to like be mean back, of course, 126 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: but it's like I have no response for them. I'm like, 127 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's so crazy, or even like hanging 128 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: out with new people. They'll be like, oh my god, 129 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: I had a situation with a boy. It was like 130 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: the first like I had. I was talking like zero boys, 131 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: and then I talked to this one for like a 132 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: good two weeks in quarantine, and he would say things 133 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: like you'd be like, um, like you can meet my 134 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: family if you post me on your TikTok and like 135 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: no one knows about this, so you know whatever. But 136 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, like who says that? Who? 137 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: Who does that? And so then I just find myself 138 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: in my house all day and my mom's like on 139 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: Friday nights, She's like, I think you should go hang 140 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: out with your friends, and I'm like, like, what who 141 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: am I going out with?

Why can't I be on your pod? I'm 146 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: like what, yeah, you know right? And I'm like who, 147 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: Like I would never think to like say that to someone, right, 148 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Like who thinks to say that? What? It's ballsy though 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: it is, oh the whole like me, your family, if 150 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: you post me on TikTok. That was that was like, okay, wow, 151 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: like that's ridiculous. I also feel like, I don't know 152 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: about you, but it's so hard to find a nice 153 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: guy nowadays because of COVID, because of social media and 154 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: everything's like over Snapchat and it's like just text me, 155 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: like that's so much call me, I just me FaceTime. 156 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah what I want?

So true, Okay, okay, thank you for saying that. Yeah, 169 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: I know. I followed him on Instagram. And the thing is, 170 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: it's like he seems obviously we don't know him. Maybe 171 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: we should find out, we should maybe we should ask 172 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: him to come on. Yes, we need a group FaceTime call. 173 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: His name is Edwin. Okay, he looks like an Edwin, 174 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: he does, and he has the accent. And he also 175 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: in all of his Instagram posts he's like in Greece 176 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: in Paris, like just like living the life of bass. 177 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, how amazing, Like maybe it 178 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: really does happen. Maybe I'm just like we're living in 179 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: such a weird time that I feel like for me, 180 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I'm always that are fron all the way ever since 181 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: like two thousand six. Yeah, I've never been. I've never been. 182 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: Uh I know a banana, I've never or like musical 183 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: like never like whoa, I know our second difference. No, 184 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: I count this in the same boat. This is like 185 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: the boys. Okay. I think that's fair because that means like, 186 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: if there's a boy that's like my type, like you're 187 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: not gonna like him too, So it's just not going 188 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: to create a conflict with us. It's a good thing, exactly, 189 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: it's good. Did be not too similar, but I feel 190 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: like something. I don't know if you've experienced this at 191 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: win l A, but it's really hard to find people 192 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: that are there for the right reasons where it's not 193 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: for followers or to get on your TikTok. Have you 194 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: come up with a circle of privacy when you realize 195 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: someone's not there for the right reasons? How how have 196 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: you dealt with that? Because I'm still learning because it's weird. 197 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: I yeah, I'm still learning with that too. I wish 198 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: I had I wish you had an exact answer you 199 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: could tell me with that, because when this boy did 200 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: that to me, I just remember texting him and being 201 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: like sorry, like with school and everything, like I just 202 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: don't have time, like I need to stop talking with you, 203 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: like it's distracting me and all this stuff, and that 204 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: was it. And I would you say l O L Yeah, no, 205 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: he has like no idea that, like I guess I 206 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: mean now he does, like sorry, actually blocked him. I 207 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: don't want him say any of my stuff anymore. That's fair. Well, 208 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: blocking is such a great answer to a bunch of things, 209 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: like everyone is like blocking is so many but it's 210 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: so like you're just like on like they don't follow, 211 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, you don't follow them. Something you can do 212 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: that I didn't realize is that you can have the 213 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: person unfollow you. But like I'm a public account, so 214 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: like if he were to go, like he can still 215 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: see everything, but that means he would be looking you up. 216 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: Like I'm saying, if they don't really look you up, 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: they would have no idea. They would just stop seeing 218 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: your feet. Okay, you're right, Okay, maybe I need to 219 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: retract a little bit and do the like remove the 220 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: follower type thing. I don't know. It's so interesting to 221 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: me because I've had the way people have treated me. 222 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: When I'm starting on my podcast. It wasn't to like 223 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: get a podcast. It was like a way to distract 224 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: from my anxiety and what was going on with my 225 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: friends at the time. And it's so interesting because I 226 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: haven't heard a thing from them. But then I think 227 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: when Dixie came on, I got a bunch of d 228 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: M from people I haven't heard from in a year 229 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: and a half to two years. So crazy, it's so weird, 230 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's just weird. It's like it's kind of 231 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: like I compare it to when someone is like mean 232 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: in school, Like I would like I don't I don't 233 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: think to be mean to someone, and so it's just 234 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: like that way where it's like I wouldn't think to 235 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: ask someone to post me or things like that. Well, 236 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: first of all, that's so aggressive, right, it's so aggressive, 237 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: but like something else that I've been trying to find 238 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: interesting balance with this, making sure the positive comments are 239 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: what my priority priority are. But then you know, the 240 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: hate can get pretty, you know, shitty sometimes. Something that 241 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand is they hate you get is so 242 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: unjustified because you're just yourself. And I think you've had 243 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: to prove you had to work harder than a lot 244 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: of people because you can't just do like the regular dances. 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: You have to you know, be yourself to prove that 246 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: you're not just like every other TikToker. What has that 247 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: experience been like on your mental health? Just keeping a 248 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: healthy balance with it, but also not letting that hate 249 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: get to you. I mean, it's it's been hard. I 250 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: I think, like in the beginn inning it was a 251 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of talking and a lot of crying and therapy 252 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: and just getting through it. I've always had very thick 253 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: skin because of things that happened to me in person, 254 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and like things that went on in school and bullying 255 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: and all that type of stuff, and so I guess 256 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm lucky. I was talking about this yesterday actually actually 257 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: with my mom, where it's like if I was like 258 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: mentally unstable at the beginning of quarantine from school and everything, 259 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: and I started this like I don't know how I 260 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: could have gotten through it. But so like when someone's 261 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: mean to me online, it doesn't like resonnate as much 262 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: as if like I've been in like Target or like 263 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: walking down the street or like walking my dogs and 264 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: people like call me names. They're like, oh my god, 265 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: it's Charlie and like all this stuff, and like I 266 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: don't know how to react to it when it's in person. 267 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: Wine I can, definitely I can. I can sometimes handle it, 268 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: but it's also like I've had it's been harder and 269 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: like a lot more work than a lot of people 270 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: I guess would see. Where it's like I post now, 271 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: I post like vlogs, and I post like dancing videos 272 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: as well, and I post fashion videos and I post 273 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: cooking videos just so people can see like how I 274 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: actually am on camera. I wish it was like a 275 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: FaceTime call with every single follower of mine that like 276 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: I could talk to them because that's how I've always 277 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: been in person. I'm like way more of a talk 278 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: in person, just like you said, like I'm not a snapchatter, 279 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: Like we like to call and talk with people, and 280 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: I feel like my personality is so much more than 281 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean, anyone's looks. But it's it was just interesting 282 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: how it got off that way, and like in person too, 283 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I get people do things online because 284 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: they're behind a screen, but like the fact that they 285 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: did that in person is that people are balls. The 286 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: I I could never like, I could never I know, 287 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: I want to go in their minds. It's rough, like 288 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: what makes them think that, Like the psychology behind that 289 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: or is there like rainbow and like sunshine and we 290 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: go and there's something cleaning hate coming out somehow on 291 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: my YouTube. The fact that paparazzi are coming to you 292 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: as a teenage girl, like grown men, grown men asking 293 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: you questions about petty TikTok drama. Yeah, that's odd. Yeah, 294 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: I feel like that's like the difference between I guess 295 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: like New York and like l A, where that's like 296 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: very normal. Here, it's just a difference between different I 297 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: guess paparazzi experiences would be it's like an astronomical difference, 298 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: like Hollywood Fix and like Fletcher, I don't know if 299 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: you've heard of him, um, but he's like he's like 300 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: gotten very respectful and asks me questions other like I 301 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: was on the sidewalk with my brother and he was 302 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: actually he was like doing like suffilon or something.

Like it 327 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: just like really hurt my feelings to like here because 328 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: I feel like I've come so far from the beginning 329 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: and like my reputation and everything like that, and like 330 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: here it be brought up again and here I am. 331 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: He was like walking backwards and like I was like, 332 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, you're about to trip and like being 333 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: like so nice, and then he walks away and I 334 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: was like wow, like is that really what people think 335 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: of me? Still? And then I was like, why is 336 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: he like thirty years old follows me? Like, but I 337 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: think that's more telling on their part that it's Yeah, honestly, 338 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: kudos to you for just handling yourself against all of that. Okay, 339 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: enough about the crazy paparazzi. We have to take a 340 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: quick break. But when we come back, I want to 341 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: talk to you about how you balance social media with school, 342 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: our mutual love a fashion and design. You might throw 343 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: in a little Harry Styles talk and much more. We'll 344 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. I found it's hard 345 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: to find a balance between everything going on in the world, 346 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: be work and also school. I mean, we're students. How 347 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: have you been doing with that? Um? I have a 348 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: very i'd say, like strict schedule where it's like wake up, 349 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: do school, finish like a good amount, like a lot 350 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 1: of my classes, and then do work and then at 351 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: night if I have anything more to do that and 352 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: like keep up with it. But last year, like the 353 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: ending of last year was rough, Like I got so behind, 354 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: and like obviously it's just hard because who wouldn't like 355 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: when someone when my mom, because my mom usually reminds 356 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: me and like it's literally right here, like she like 357 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: makes lists of everything that I have to do during 358 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: the day. When I like see that on the counter, 359 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: and it's like make two tiktoks, make an Instagram picture, 360 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: Like of course I want to do that instead of 361 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: writing an English essay of course, but like that's really 362 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: I mean, the only reason that I can get to 363 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: go to New York is because I want to go 364 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: to n y U and I want to go to 365 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: college all these different things. But it's like it's a struggle, 366 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: and I feel like not a lot of tick talkers 367 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: or people in social media. I have to do it 368 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: because it seems like everyone is just doing this one thing, 369 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: whereas there's quite there's like a little group that like 370 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: I can tell they're like going to college or doing 371 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: like high school and this What about you? Though? What what? 372 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: What's your schedule? You know what I mean? For that? 373 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: So with COVID, I would have if code wasn't a thing, 374 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: I'd be going to classes five days a week. UM. 375 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: So now classes are only three days a week for me. Um, 376 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: I'm taking five or six courses and I have my 377 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: school day. I have my classes. It's with other people 378 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: just virtually um, and then I do the work. I 379 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: try and get dead I do in between classes. I 380 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: try and get work done in some classes if it's 381 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: like you know, drama or something, Oh, maybe do a 382 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: little a multitask a little bit ya off a yeah, 383 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: like maybe doing some extra work. But I think the 384 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: hardest thing for me is, you know, I'll be doing 385 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: my statistics homework and then I'll get a phone call 386 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: being like, okay, we need this approval for x y z. 387 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: We need you to create x y z, and it's 388 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: like I do that, but then I have to go 389 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: back in statistics mode. So it's like this weird thing 390 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: that's like so hard to go back and forth between 391 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: this creative side of things that I want to do 392 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: and things that you know, it's I'm glad I'm doing it, 393 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: but it's just like hard to go back and forth. 394 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: So true, it's so hard with like the different minds 395 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: and like even like I've seen with like binging TikTok 396 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: this whole quarantine. Like my attention span is so short. 397 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: It's like rough, Like how like I can be watching 398 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: TV and be like looking at my phone. Like it's like, 399 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: so it's so bad, but you're so right. Well, like 400 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: I'll be in the middle of a quiz and like 401 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: my mom will be like, oh and this is due 402 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: when you're done, and then I'm like okay, I'm done, 403 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: Like let's do it now. It's like never gets finished. 404 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: But it's hard. If anyone anyone listening to this, if 405 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: you have any tips, recommendations for us, we need this 406 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: advice comment please, we are always looking for some advice. Please, 407 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: we do need that. That's really something that's I didn't 408 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: know we had in common. Something else, believe it or not, 409 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: is fashion. Oh yes, I have sewn for like ten years. 410 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: I used to design clothes and all of that, and 411 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: I kind of got out of it when the podcast 412 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: started and all that. But I think, what's so cool 413 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: what you're doing with your merch because it's different. It's 414 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: not like a basic shirt that has a weird saying. 415 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: It's like actually something that's you know, there's thought into it. 416 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: It's actually cute and it's I can tell you're really 417 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: hard worker, which I really like. If you could have 418 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: a fashion line, okay, and let's say you got one tomorrow, 419 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: what would your dream piece be to create? That's hard. 420 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of sweaters um as you 421 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: can see. Yeah, just so I think like a good 422 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean like a printed sweater like this with something 423 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: on it. Um. It's so interesting that you say that 424 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: about my merch because not a lot of people know. 425 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to my manager about it yesterday that 426 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: everyone's She was like, everyone loved the merch and I 427 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: was like I know, and like, little does everyone know 428 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: we had I had like a week to come up 429 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: with the ideas for all of that, and I had 430 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: like a full like vision board like photoshopped like all 431 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: these different things on it, like it was gonna be 432 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: a matching set. We were gonna have a bunch of 433 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: different things going around it. And then I called I 434 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: like get on a call of fan joy and they're like, Okay, 435 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: you have to keep it to three things, Max, And 436 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: I was like three things, Max, Like I have like 437 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: ten things on this one sweatshow Like what am I 438 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: gonna do? Um? And so I really appreciate that. It 439 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: was like a very big shock to me that everyone 440 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: liked it so much. Obviously, like I loved it, but 441 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't expecting other people too. I guess that's how 442 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: it is most of the time. Um. But back to 443 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: your original question, I think a sweater would probably be 444 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: my favorite thing. What about you? Like that's hard because 445 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: it's like there's like a sure address pants, a sweater, 446 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: the accessories, not even Yeah, I love a good accessory 447 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: for the longest time, I didn't really appreciate, but like 448 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: they do so much. Like the littlest thing. I always 449 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: just have this one ring on. I just you know, 450 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: when you wear ring, it's like and you take it 451 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: off for so long, like it feels weird. Yes, like 452 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: I haven't taken this off in two years. Wow, Okay, 453 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: yeah queen, Um, I yeah. I used to have like 454 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: the tan lines and everything, and then I got really 455 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: into rings. And then I saw Harry Styles cover on 456 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: Vogue and I saw him wearing a ring on every finger. 457 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: So now I'm like, okay, now I have to like 458 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: if Harry Styles doesn't you know, I don't understand why 459 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: he got hate on that. That was the most iconic thing, 460 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the whole essay on that actually with like the whole 461 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: like Candice Owen's talking about it, like I wrote like 462 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: a whole essay about it. It was so crazy, um 463 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: that I had the chance to do that for English class. 464 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: It was like a monument project. And I was like, 465 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: Harry Styles deserves a monument in the met in the 466 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: fashion exhibit, like it just has to happen. I don't 467 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: understand why he got hit for that either, So dumb 468 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: when fun fact, when I was eight, I when I 469 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: was at jingle Ball, it was One Direction was pretty popping. 470 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: And I see Harristyles backstage and I go, I don't 471 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: think I've told anyone this. And I go up to him, 472 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: being like an eight or nine year old, to be like, Hi, 473 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I'm a really big fan. Can I get an autographed 474 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: for my best friend? I got her an autograph. All 475 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: I remember is he smelled so good? What really so good? Okay, 476 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: I like, I don't I'm scared to say this out loud, 477 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: but like, I was never like a really one like 478 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: a big one Direction fan, but ever since his new 479 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: album came out, my friend told me that it was 480 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: like a whole storyline.

I can't believe you. 482 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: Remember that I loved it was one of the moments 483 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: because I was so overwhelmed. But I remember him being 484 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: so nice because I was so little, and then he 485 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: was also so nice to my brother. I was like, 486 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: because that's the sticks with you seriously and also sticks 487 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: out to you when the ones aren't very nice. Yeah, exactly. 488 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: Know when you look up to someone and they're actually nice. 489 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: It's like, wow, like, okay, I chose a right person. 490 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: I will say one of the most full circle thing 491 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: that's happened to me is in I was in Megan 492 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: Trainers meet and greet. UM I went, I made a 493 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: poster everything, and like four years later she was on 494 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: my podcast and I told her about it. What did 495 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: she react with? She was like, that's awesome. It's a 496 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: full circle. And then she started following me on Instagram 497 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, she's a real one. She's the sweetest. 498 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: Love you, Megan when you look. I stood in line 499 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: for that meet and greet for so long and the 500 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: fact it was just like the most full circle moment 501 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: for me. So everyone be nice to people. Yes, it 502 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: pays off. You don't know what they're impression of you 503 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: is going to be so true. And that's how I 504 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: feel with like even Instagram follows like my favorite like 505 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: bloggers like I don't know, I like I used to 506 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: like grow up watching Mrs Remy Ashton's UM YouTube video. 507 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know who that is. Yes, 508 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: of course I found out she follows me and I 509 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: was like, what the heck just happened? Like what is 510 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: this um? But Yeah, that's so full circle with Megan. 511 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: We love that. Did you watch all of like the 512 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: Milaresha videos the Black Friday? Were you one of those? I? 513 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean I binged the Black Friday ones. Yes, long 514 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: story short, Yes, I was a YouTube fanatic. I believe 515 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: I went to that Girl's Night intour and I was like, no, why, 516 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: I'm so jealous. I always I always wanted to go, 517 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: oh my god, you've picked them all. Wow, I took 518 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: what it was. I didn't. I was like, looking back, 519 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. So everyone was going 520 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: everyone went crazy. What is like? What did they do 521 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: the whole time? Like nothing and everything? Does that make 522 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: sense that so much? It's just because like they were there, 523 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: and I think everyone just like they could have done 524 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: anything and everyone would have screamed. Like imagine having that 525 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 1: kind of fan base. I love that. I really do 526 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: like Alicia, Marie and all of them. Yes, when they 527 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: those collabs, when they all did like those summer claus 528 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: was like the highlight of the month. But I wonder 529 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: because we're at those ages like when they were doing that, 530 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: which is so crazy to think, so like it makes 531 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: me think like what was actually going on? Right? Like 532 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: what like, like they could not have just been filming 533 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: YouTube videos all day. I out, like, what, okay, we 534 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: have to take one final break up. When we come back, 535 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk with you about misconceptions of high school, 536 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: how you found your group of people and your nonprofit 537 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: together is one and much more. We'll be right back 538 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: and we're back. I'm curious if you've ever thought this, 539 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: But when I was younger, I thought I would be 540 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: so different at eighteen than I actually am. Like I 541 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: was like eighteen, like, oh my god. That was like 542 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: when the last high school musical will look like an adult, 543 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: I'll be like, first of all, they cast people way 544 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: too old in movies, because I remember in ninth grade, 545 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, there are gonna be 546 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: so many key boys. No, they're pre pubescent high school boys, 547 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: and they this the movies and the show's totally played me. 548 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: It's such a click bait. Like again, just have to 549 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: bring it back to Gossip Girl Chuck Boss, like like 550 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: he was probably like thirty filming it, Like what that's 551 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: not really they were not the way first about the 552 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: way they dressed. They were not high school or see 553 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: that's the kind of high school stuff that I wish 554 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: was talked about me too, Like I was so blindsided 555 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: walking in. Is there anything you wish you're going into 556 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: high school? I feel like I just I could have 557 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: definitely skipped like the whole like trying to make friends 558 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: face like I was gonna be alone anyway, might as 559 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: well just like because I don't know, like just do 560 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Um, but yeah, I probably could have 561 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: done without that there trying to make friends first month 562 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: and now after watching gossip Girl, I figured like I've 563 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: been much more confrontational about things, where like, if something's 564 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: bothering me, I'll like say it because I'm like there would. Um. 565 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't like her. I don't know why she's so 566 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: she's mean. I'm sorry her, and we're going back to this, 567 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: but I know I don't get that, like they have 568 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: a very toxic relationship. I don't get the hype we're 569 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: I think this is just one of those things we're 570 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: going to agree to disagree on. Yeah, okay, moving on, 571 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: moving on, And what were we talking about? We're talking about, 572 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, being confrontated. What do you wish you knew 573 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: in high school? Oh? Yeah, what about you? What do 574 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: you wish you knew. I've noticed some girls can be mean, 575 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: and you know, you find it everywhere. But I feel 576 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: like if we support each other and if we all 577 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: know that we're not competition, then that would make society better. 578 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: In turn, that's true. I've met so many great people, 579 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: but so many people are so like the girls sometimes 580 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: don't have great motives. Yeah, Like I don't understand, like 581 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: we shouldn't be pitted against each other. There's enough of 582 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: that in this world. Seriously, if anything, we should support 583 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: each other more. And it's green. Girls can be mean. 584 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: I was blindsided by that. I was also very blindsided 585 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: by like like I didn't think people like smoked or 586 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: like had alcohol. I was just like I was like what, 587 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: like what do you guys doing, Like I'm confused here, 588 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: or like I don't I don't know. Like we should 589 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: make like a reality. It's like like high school reality. 590 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: Like again then podcast together for another one just talking 591 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: about the high school like reality. Yeah, we really should. Honestly, 592 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: I will say that one of the things that blindsided 593 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: me most um in New York. I'm sure this is everywhere, 594 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: but in New York, like especially, drugs are so prevalent. 595 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: I remember there's an eighth grader who did acid in 596 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: eighth grade. My brothers were in eighth grade last year 597 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: and they told me about someone doing that too, and 598 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my goodness, that is thing. Like 599 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: I think it's a thing, and I think it's a thing. 600 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: To the fact that like I'm over here, and then 601 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: like all of high schoolers are over here, and it's 602 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: just like, everyone, stay safe. Don't do acid. It's not 603 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: it will it will mess up your brain. I'm a 604 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: stre you just stay safe, yea, Like I just stay safe. 605 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: Like I totally get experimenting, like that's part of high school, 606 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: but never do anything that can kill you. That's my motto. Definitely. 607 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: I glad this isn't just a New York thing though. Yeah, 608 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad. Yeah, but I can I can definitely see 609 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: where it's more. I don't know, I can kind of 610 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: see the I mean, like people I see on TikTok 611 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: that I follow, like girls from New York are kind 612 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: of scary. Sometimes I understand that. I can understand why 613 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: that is. I think it's all it's but that's everywhere. 614 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: It's like finding your people. I think it's only again, 615 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: I was talking to this girl in the story. Yesterday 616 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: she went to f I T and she was like, um, 617 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: she was like, I was like, so, how would you 618 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: describe the difference, And she was like, if someone doesn't 619 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: like you in New York, like they'll say it to 620 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: your face. If someone doesn't like you here, like Bill 621 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: talk bad about you to like tend of their friends, 622 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: and like you will have no idea, and like that's 623 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: just how I don't know, that's how it goes. I 624 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: guess it's interesting. No one has told me ever to 625 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: my face they didn't like me. But I've just heard 626 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: like a lot of gossiping, which I just high school, 627 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: And then I think that's just high school. Like high school. 628 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: I think one of the main things that I've learned 629 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: is don't let that it feels so big in the moment, 630 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: but it's so small on the grand scheme of things. 631 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: Something else but I've been so happy when I found 632 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: this out, is that you have a nonprofit, which I 633 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: did not realize. I've always wanted to create a nonprofit. 634 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: So what advice do you have for other people, because 635 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: it can be very intimidating to start a project or 636 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: start wanting to get in business, whether that is a 637 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: nonprofit or a fashion line. What advice do you have 638 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: for people who just want to start? That aspect itself 639 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: is overwhelming, it's kind of dumb, But like UM, as Nike, 640 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: you would say, just do it. No, there's no like 641 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: downside in in starting it, and like that's the thing is. 642 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: I remember, like I wanted to start my nonprofit organization 643 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: UM for years, Like I knew like I knew I 644 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: wanted to do it, but I was like, I'm not ready, 645 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: Like it's not planned out enough, like I don't know 646 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: like what we're gonna call it, all these different things, 647 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: And then I got to the point where we were 648 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: just like we have to start now. If we're not 649 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: going to start now, like it's not going to help 650 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: anyone UM, and so just starting it and like as 651 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: you progress it will change. Like for example, for mine, 652 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,720 Speaker 1: I started it with my two best friends Sophie and Lola, 653 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: who are twins UM and so us us three started 654 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: it and like when we first started it, we post 655 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: like once a week, like just like a long video, 656 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: and then we started skipping weeks and now we've gotten 657 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: to the point where it's like, Okay, we're just gonna 658 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: post like a bunch like every day like like quotes 659 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: and things like that, Like it doesn't have to be 660 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 1: like super planned out, but with like starting a fashion 661 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: line or starting company, it's just starting. Starting is like 662 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: the hardest part saying with like an essay, like like 663 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: physically like starting, Yeah, you just need to start it 664 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: and don't overthink it too. That's a big thing. I 665 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: can get in my head a lot about it, and 666 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: then you're just in this downward spiral. Tell everyone how 667 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: how you got started with it? Because I think it's 668 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: a really good story. Um, well, it's a good story. 669 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: It's also kind of sad, how very how like kick 670 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: started so basically again started it with my two friends 671 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 1: Sophie and Lola and their brothers had an anti bullying 672 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: nonprofit in high school and they went to like Columbia 673 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: and USC as well, and so you're like, okay, we 674 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: have to do it too, like fall on their footsteps. 675 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: Like they're like just these amazing people in high school 676 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: doing great things, and we're like, okay, we need to 677 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: start it too. So we started together as one um 678 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: started posting doing you know, good deeds we do like 679 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: mis for Monday things like that. With that, I wait 680 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: as a do. I love that? Thank you. That's like 681 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,959 Speaker 1: a lot of planning to like kind of iconic mis 682 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: for Monday. It's the Monday. It was a hole my canoes. Yes, 683 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: so like handing out flowers to people. It was mis 684 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: for Monday post day. Um, can we make that a 685 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: national holiday? Thaturday's misa Monday. No, it should just be 686 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: like an Instagram hashtag, like you do something nice on 687 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: Monday in time, and you have to wear blue too. Yes, 688 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: of course I love that. Okay, continue, We're gonna start that, 689 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: um okay. And so a few weeks in two together's one, 690 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: there was actually, um a shooting at our synagogue. It 691 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: was also where Sophie, Lola and I went to preschool 692 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: and grew up, and so like all of our teachers 693 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: were there, um, all of like our mentors were there. 694 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: And so there's a shooting and it like really rocked 695 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: our community. Like it was seriously less than a mile 696 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: away from my house. That's terrifying. Yeah, it was scary, 697 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: and so our whole community had no idea what to do, 698 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: and like even going to school, like no teachers were 699 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: talking about it and no one was like acknowledging it 700 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: and we were like, what the heck, Like this needs 701 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: to be a thing, like we need to talk about 702 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: so people know it's not okay, and like so people 703 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: know they have like a place to come to. And 704 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: so that's when we really kick started together as one, 705 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: and we sold like a bunch and we made T 706 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: shirts and we sold a bunch of T shirts and 707 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 1: like everyone my school is wearing them. And we donated 708 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: like over a few thousand dollars to UM, the leaders 709 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 1: of the synagogue in the preschool, and that was an 710 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: amazing moment because we grew up with them UM, and 711 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: so that's kind of how we started our name. And 712 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: then from there it became a club UM. And we figured, 713 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: like how we kind of pitched the club to our 714 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: principle is that there was like Chess club for people 715 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: who played chess. There was Chinese club for people who 716 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: are Chinese. There's UM Spanish club for people who speak Spanish, 717 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: but there's no club for like everyone to go to 718 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: if you want like a safe place. And so we 719 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: created together as one, which was basically like a classroom. 720 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: It was like the biggest club in school. Was crazy 721 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,680 Speaker 1: that it's like a classroom. What we're like I like 722 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: one of our club meetings was you'd come and like 723 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: just eat lunch with your friends and like everyone was 724 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: talking and we'd like make nice posters saying nice things, 725 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: and like we'd put them out for everything and then 726 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: posted on with the Monday things like that. Um. And 727 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: so it really got to be an amazinging organization at school. 728 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: And then we're just about to expand to other schools 729 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: and COVID hit and so that like just stopped everything, um, 730 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: and so we're continuing to rebuild that from now. What's 731 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: amazing about me gaining this following over Quarantine is that 732 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: a lot of it has transferred over to Together as 733 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: One and like, for example, there's it Together as One 734 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 1: club in Paris, and like they'd have no idea about 735 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: it if it wasn't for like starting on tiktoking, like 736 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, like it kind of started on hate and 737 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: like here bring in I know, turning into like that's awesome, right, 738 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: so cool um.
