Michelle Hong is a junior at Medill studying Journalism and Psychology. She is my girlfriend of over one year, and in this podcast, we discuss how we've learned to resolve conflicts despite having polar opposite personalities, how I'm applying to the Officer Candidate School for the U.S. Marine Corps, and how we deal with anxieties about the future.

Julia Narvaez Munguia is a Northwestern sophomore studying Journalism at Medill School of Journalism. She never considered college as an option due to her machismo-influenced upbringing, yet was accepted into Northwestern on a test-optional basis. In this episode, she describes how she supported herself through the journey, growing up in North Carolina, feeling imposter syndrome at a top-tier academic university, how Greek life can support low-income and diverse students, and the future of broadcast journalism.

***this is a podcast episode created for a class project in conjunction with Lawrence Price***

Yik Yak is an anonymous social media platform that targets college students on campus with its five mile radius rule. The anonymous nature of the app opens up opportunity for harassment and bullying, and this is exactly what happened to Jess Hu and Anya Kornfeld and their friend group. During their sorority process, they were faced with doxxing, harassment, and cyberstalking, all by a faceless bullies, which led to leaving school, a death threat, and a police report.

Thank you to Jess and Anya for agreeing to be interviewed for this podcast episode.

Special thanks to Michelle Hong, Julia Narvaez-Munguia, Caroline Brew, Nicole Chang, and Kashish Dhawan for their voices.
