Let’s Talk About It: Why Friendship is Special but So Complicated
Cait & Friends Episode #1: A discussion with my friend, April Ye about childhood vs. college friendships, what makes a good friend, and more
Series Intro: Every week or two, I will be chatting with one of my close friends, podcast-style to get their refreshing take on a relevant topic. Topics will focus on 5 main areas: identity, career, health, relationships, and current news. Occasionally, the friend will be anonymized. Most of my friends are either still in college or fresh grads (~ages 19–25), so this is meant to give insight into important aspects of our lives. The conversations are transcribed, edited for clarity, but unfiltered.
This week’s topic: Relationships, specifically friendships
A little on April: April and I have been friends for 12 years, since 4th grade at our small private school. We went to different high schools and attend different colleges but are always in touch. April’s a rising senior at Cornell majoring in CS, is a career powerhouse (FB SWE, quant trading, & law?!), and keeps me honest. She’s also incredibly reliable and fun.
