Eat Your Crust

During college, all we wanted was to graduate. But now that we’ve been out of college for a year and a half, the excitement of the post-grad life is fading and the realities of adulthood are settling in. Today we share our very own POST-GRAD SURVIVAL GUIDE: how to ace job interviews, manage your time, and stay healthy as a new grad.Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Long Distance Relationships have a bad rap. Some people even have personal rules against LDRs and consider them to be the equivalent of a breakup. But we’re here to defend them - LDRs are underrated! Everyone go get yourself an LDR. Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

By some chance, we aced our interview and got accepted into an on-campus job in college. We tried to learn as much as we could through our mentors, made our first co-worker friends, and learned to juggle studying (and partying) with 8am shifts. And because of these student jobs, we became much more prepared for our first post-grad jobs!Today we talk about our first job struggles and professional tips we picked up while at Taco Bell, DocuSign, supply chain shipping centers, and even university call centers.Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod

Our parents are superheroes. One morning, after long deliberation, they decided they wanted a better life for their families and packed their bags, trading in their comfortable lives for challenging ones. They conquered the difficulty of an unfamiliar language, navigated the brand new culture, and explored countless communities to fit into the new country. They left behind their parents, their loved ones, their closest friends. They are immigrants, and they are our everyday inspirations. Today we dive deep into our parents’ immigration journeys, and discuss our experiences growing up with immigrant parents - from everything to being embarrassed about their broken English, to learning to express love through every way except saying the L word.*NOTES*12:00 Sponsorship, ok Crystal clarified with her mom: a sponsor was needed if you were going to school in the new country and needed a student visa (Crystal's parents were enrolling in Canadian university to get their Canadian master degrees). The sponsor would sign with the intent/proof that they could pay for the education. If the person coming to study in the new country already has enough money/proof that they can pay for the education, then they would not require a sponsor for their student visa.American student visa rules , Canadian student visa rules27:22 Pork Floss51:18 Mission Peak is referring to a 6 mile hike in Fremont, popular for the totem pole and beautiful view at the top. Parts of it are super steep and the trail has 0 shade - which is why Tanaya and Jeesoo are so astonished.Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
