Frienships 101

All of us are one last day at the recording studio, for this last episode. The exchange year is coming to an end and we wrap up what we call Season 1 of Paella and Pizza! We don't know what will happen to the podcast once school starts again, as Silvia is unsure about her future in the States. We would still love to put more episodes whenever we can and the Instagram account will definitely remain active! Thanks for sticking with us! @paellaandpizza

16. Sky and Marina are back!! In this episode we talk about the transition between middle school and high school, and its differences with Spain. We also talk about how the high school community feels and how these years affect our friendships! Skyler's Instagram here!  Marina's Instagram here! @paellaandpizza

12. From how making friends can be hard during the exchange to feeling disconnected from your home country. In this episode, we talk about making friends at the beginning and who are the real ones. Then we shift to talk about our lives back home, and how it can feel when you haven't been with them in a while. We hope you enjoyed this episode as we navigate the complicated topic of friendship.

09. Growth can be uncomfortable, but it is truly those things that will make us change as a person. Getting out in the world and experiencing news things will make our experience richer and will open our minds. In this episode, we all sit down and talk about we have gotten outside of comfort zones in different ways and the great things that has brought us!

08. Taking care of yourself should always be a priority, but during your year abroad, there are always a lot of things happening which can result in getting overwhelmed and simply forgetting some basic things. In this episode, Lucia, Edo, and Silvia discuss difficulties they have had in their year so far, like injuries, burnout, COVID, etc... Not only physical, but mental health is important! They also talk about struggles and things that make it easier!
