Summary

Our conversation about friends leaving for college and the bittersweetness of it quickly turned emotional as we discovered a bigger subconscious factor that was causing both relief and anxiety. We hope you can feel comforted by this episode, especially if you’re a first-generation student.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to Teenage Therapy. I'm Gyael. I'm Thomas. I'm Isaac. I'm Mark.
0:16.9	Welcome back to the next episode of Teenage Therapy. Also one of Isaac's last one.
0:22.5	It's a loop. Okay, so we recorded two episodes in one day, but we don't know if we're posting,
0:33.4	which one we're posting first. So it'll just repeat the same stuff. This is Isaac's last episode.
0:37.8	Yeah, with you. If we said that last week, forgive us. But if not, then we'll say it next week.
0:43.4	Surprise. This is a nice little surprise. Isaac's back. He came back. He dropped out.
0:47.6	Isaac ended up not moving to Berkeley. He couldn't do it. He couldn't leave us. He's going to say.
0:55.2	Calcay, please. Okay guys, welcome back to this episode. So I mean, it is true that people are leaving.
1:07.9	Thomas and Kayla are leaving to LA, so not too far, but they're still leaving our general area.

1:48.7	that we're actually spreading out. The way I visualize it when I think about it in my head,
1:53.6	I imagine I'm looking at the US. I'm looking at America from a top and America's flat. I just imagine
1:59.6	where there's a circle and they go, pooo, and they land into the park. When the dragon ball split.
2:08.5	It shows the American and goes where they go. That's how I imagine us. Someone's going here.
2:16.7	Someone's going here. So I guess I could might make a sad possibly. I don't feel about it, Mark. Are you
2:24.8	sad? Because I mean us too. We're staying here in our little bubble still. It's really sad. It's
2:33.8	like, give me a second. How do you feel about it? Me? I don't know. It hasn't hit me. I don't
