Hey, I'm Candace Lam.

And I'm Kate Lindsay.

And you're listening to I see Y.

I'm CYMI.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture.

And Kate, by the time this episode comes out, you will have gone to and survived your

college reunion.

I would love to make some predictions.

Like, what do you think is going to happen?

And then maybe we'll, like, come back, see if they came true in the next episode.

So obviously the thing I'm fantasizing about is that like I walk in and everyone's heads turn.

And they're like, that's Kate.

And wow, not only is she hotter than we remember, but she's even more successful than we all thought she would be because everyone's always thinking about me.

In reality, I do feel that I keep forgetting that it's not just my year going to this reunion.

The way my school does it is, is basically, if it's a year ending with a five or a ten, you're invited.

And so it's like people's five year,

ten year, fifteen, twenty. Twenty five. Like there are going to be a lot more like real adults there. And I do think, because otherwise people, of course, would be thinking about me. But I think

ultimately, I will be surprised with how little people I actually recognize and know.

I definitely can see you stalking across the quad.

Someone runs up to you with their iPhone.

They're going, oh, my God, I'm listening to the pod.
