| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to let me ruin your life with Serena Shahidi. I am your host, Serena Shahidi. |
| 0:14.0 | Do I say something after that? I literally can't remember. I've had a week. Okay, here's the thing. |
| 0:22.0 | I've been stressed, you know, being a girl boss is a full-time job and unfortunately I have things to do other than that, which is frankly tragic. |
| 0:35.0 | So I've been a little stressy-wessy. I've been a little tense. The other day I was going for my nightly walk. |
| 0:45.0 | I was walking on the east side and I saw a psychic that was open and I was like, you know what? I feel like I need this right now. |
| 0:54.0 | I don't know if I believe that this is a psychic or that psychics are real, but I just need it right now. |
| 1:05.0 | And so I got my palm red. Here's what she said. Here's what the psychic said. She, I wrote it in my notes app afterwards. |
| 1:14.0 | The first thing she said is that my schooling will happen in bits and pieces until my 30s, which is exciting, I suppose. |
| 1:26.0 | I don't know how to feel about that, but I am taking it as I'm going to drop out of FIT. |
| 1:33.0 | I'm not saying I'm going to drop out of FIT, but if that's, you know, if that's my future, if it's written on my palm, |
| 1:42.0 | oh well, what are you going to do? Guess I'll drop out. I won't. Like, maybe I should. Maybe I should. |
| 1:52.0 | She said, oh, she looked at me at one point and went, you're going to have a roller coaster of a love life. |
| 1:59.0 | And I was like, girl, do you listen to the podcast or something because you, you know it. I feel like she must be familiar with my work. |
| 2:08.0 | She said, I'm going to find someone soon, but they won't be a match. I'm very excited for this. I'm hoping it's something really crazy. |
| 2:17.0 | I can exploit for podcast content. Some like, I don't know, maybe some like Winona Ryder, Johnny Dup, drama, you know. |
| 2:27.0 | Just like an intense relationship between two hot people that crashes and burns. |
| 2:36.0 | Was there a break up that bad? Actually, I can't remember. Not that I was alive. Was I? No. |
| 2:42.0 | But that's what I'm hoping for right now, you know, something, something a little crazy, something with a little spice, something with a kick. |
| 2:50.0 | Although I honestly have not really been dating recently, just because I like, I don't know, I like staying home and being on my computer and doing things and reading. |
| 3:03.0 | I feel like I'm kind of over. This might be temporary, but I feel like I'm kind of over just dating because like there are men in the world and they're interested in me. |
| 3:13.0 | You know, I feel like that was very kind of my attitude when I first moved to New York and started school of like, oh, there are guys who want to go out with me. |
| 3:24.0 | And they like wear loafers or whatever the fuck my standard is. Guess I'll do it. Guess I have to also just New York right now, disgusting. |
