"I had to learn how to get comfortable with my own voice and my own story and be like if I'm sitting in a class and my story is drastically different from everyone else's, then it's almost as if I am supposed to be here because if I wasn't here, would you have heard a perspective like mine?"

On today’s episode, Hannah Watts shares her experiences moving every two years before starting college. She discusses what it is like to be on the move often, and what finding home at Ole Miss meant to her.
"With friends I was always saying "Hello" and then I was saying "Goodbye" a lot, so a lot of times I think that I approach relationships thinking that I am going to be saying goodbye. I think that being in college and being able to see the same people for 4 years has been a huge growing thing for me."

On today's episode, Evan Rooney discusses how masculinity can be used for good, but also how some negative masculine traits affect men today on a daily basis.
"There are some really positive masculine values, like loyalty and wanting to protect people who may be less fortunate or weaker than yourself, but I think we often gravitate more towards this showy, alpha version of masculinity that feels like a shortcut. You can look like the alpha man, but are you actually living like the alpha man? Are you actually living a life that is consistent with what you care about?"
