We've got a Valentine's Day Special! First off, Lauren CRIES for the first time ever on air (ewe, tears).

BUT, at the end of Season 1, we asked what you wanted more of for Season 2. Two phrases came up the most: "more solo episodes" and "more vulnerability."  And oh, did we deliver!

In spirit of Valentine's Day and the release of the final To All the Boys I've Loved Before movie, Lauren decided to release her own version of To All the Boys—and in today's episode, Lauren opens up and reads out a letter to the five boys she has loved before.

Listen on to hear about the who, what, where, and why's of Lauren's love life so far.

We know you missed us, and trust us, WE MISSED YOU MORE! Lauren and her roommate Blau are BACK AT IT AGAIN with a bonus interlude episode for the #RookieGang!

A lot can happen in six months. So much that Lauren decided she could not wait until the start of Season 2 to give you all updates on what has been happening in her life! From quitting her job at Condé Nast to the absolute shit show of moving into her new place, this episode is the beginning of our bridging the gap between where we left off in Season 1 to where we're headed for Season 2—juicy details and all.

THE NUMBER 1 REQUESTED EPISODE IS HERE!!!!

How do you make friends after college? *dun dun dunnnnnn*

Is it weird? Of course. Is it scary? A bit. Is it worth it? 3000000%.

But here's the comforting thing—we have all had a panic attack and quarter life crisis over how we're supposed to make friends and sustain friendships after you've graduated and you don't have an orientation leader shoving ice breakers down your throat and weekly sorority chapter meetings.

We get it—it's difficult, a little uncomfy, and a totally foreign experience.

Cue Alana and Lauren.

We're here to give you our honest opinions and stories on how to make friends after college, what has worked for us, and how we sustain real, adult friendships. From in-person activities like outdoor workouts to more COVID-safe activities like DMing a fun gal on IG, we've got you covered.

Trust us, we are all in this shit together.

-------------------

This week's episode is our SEASON FINALE!!!! So grab a glass of wine and chug with us for this Wine Wednesday, but fear not—we'll be back and better than ever soon!
