Hello there and welcome to Almost 30 Podcast. Hi everybody, welcome to the show, it's Lens and Krista, we are in the thick of summer. How's everybody feeling?

0:47.0

I feel like summer vibes have changed so much as we've gotten older. Do you feel that way?

0:54.0

I'm trying to think because in Los Angeles it's May Gray, June gloom, which basically means it's like overcast for two months and I know most people are like shut up, it's beautiful, the rest of the year but yeah so it doesn't feel like summer in the first couple of months and then honestly sometimes summer in Los Angeles doesn't feel that good because the beach gets really crazy.

1:16.0

This is me being old so I don't know what that's what I mean. I'm like we're like our thighs are sticking together. It's hot. There's too many people do many be especially in New York. There's a lot of tourists. There's people moving around.

1:29.0

I just yeah, I think it's a different experience when you live in a city than when you live in the burbs because in the burbs it was like the best year like I'm going to go to the local pool.

1:37.0

We're going to grill out on Fridays like that was the best feeling. I saw someone at the top of the summer I saw someone's Instagram story and she's a teacher and she was.

1:47.0

There's a last day of school and they were like waving to the buses as the kids like wrote off into the summer sunset and I was like oh my god that feeling I feel it everywhere in my body right now I'm you remember that feeling.

1:59.0

Oh yeah, I've just found out was on. That's how I feel that feeling I feel sometimes when I have a big speech or a presentation or like a hard conversation. I'll have that feeling after where I feel like I just took an exam.

2:14.0

Just got out for summer. It's like the most relieving feeling where you're like there is nothing more for me to do. I can totally relax. One summer I went to summer school though.

2:24.0

I don't know what I was doing. Great. Why I think I was like I think I got recommended for summer school. Oh really. Yeah, I have like a dip a lull.

2:34.0

Achievements and I went to summer school and my parents had to convince me to go to summer school. So they bought me this outfit from limited to and I wore black board shorts with like a rainbows on the side and then a top that was so itchy but it was cool.

2:50.0

It had a smiley face on it. It was like LTT2 and then I had my platform white sneakers and I was like crushing on this guy named Lance and I was like I guess I can do this.

3:00.0

Me and Lancer by little. I have the visual so hard in my mind because I remember the texture of those shorts. Oh my god, they were so comfortable.

3:10.0

Every but they itch the whole outfit itch the top like embroidery itch to my skin. I got a rash like the board shorts were so uncomfortable.

3:19.0

Everything was just like not a nice fabric but cute as hell. They look sick. I should talk to my mom. I'm actually going to call her after this and be like why did I go to summer school in your house.

3:30.0

Was it for a particular subject or you don't remember my grade vibe like my school grades were just like very up and down some years.

3:39.0
