Listen! Real Talk with Roops

Take #11! We did it, folks! Roops is officially a COLLEGE GRADUATE (!!!), so Season 1 must come to an end. Season 2 will be starting up in the fall, once I start my new job in New York City! Crazy!! This week, I'll be chatting with my wonderful friend Anna about geek culture, fandoms, Game of Thrones (SOME SPOILERS ARE VOICED!), Harry Potter, Avengers: Endgame (WE SAY A LOT OF SPOILERS, A WARNING!...

Take #10! I chat with my good friend Katie about college, life lessons, and our personal growth and development. It’s fun to see how far we’ve come! As usual, there's a lot of giggling. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #9! I chat with my good friend (and Trader Joe's SUPERFAN) Meredith about the beauty of Trader Joe's. We discuss the culture, people, and food at TJ, and give some good recommendations. This isn't even a sponsored episode...we just love Trader Joe's...a lot. Welcome to...Listen! 

Take #8.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. We did it folks...we have hit the end! Lauren and I reflect on the finale, the season, and the future. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #8! I chat with Dr. Jeff Hales about his work in sustainability, his career journey, and the role of business in sustainability initiatives. We even manage to incorporate a few Star Wars references. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #7.75! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. The Women Tell All episode was full of yelling, drama, and tears. We break down the conversations and predict what's to come. We are annoyed, frustrated, and confused...so we tell you all about it. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #7.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 9 was too much for the both of us to handle. The Fantasy Suite dates were not the fantasies we were hoping to watch. Let's just say that we're a little frustrated. We've been sick all week and on a lot of ibuprofen, so we don't hold back. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #7! I chat with my pal Conor about popular conspiracy theories! Is Keanu Reeves immortal? Is the Illuminati trying to control the world, with Beyoncé as its leader? Has Avril Lavigne actually died and been replaced with a clone named Melissa? We dive into some of the weirdest theories out there. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #6.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 8 was all about HOMETOWNS! Hard questions were asked, fathers were (extremely) skeptical, and people had to really face their emotions and priorities this time around. Also...Colton does NOT jump the fence this episode, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for next week. Welcome to...Listen!  

Take #6! I chat with Dr. Tiffany Johnson about mental health and self-care as a person in the working world. We break down the meaning of finstas (fake instagrams), anonymous Twitter accounts, and therapy. Gratitude and positivity jars are also brought up, which we're now a huge fan of! Welcome to...Listen!

Take #5.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 7 was SO MUCH DRAMA. Exits! Tears! Accusations! And, as usual, we discuss how Blake Horstmann would behave in these awkward situations, because our new motto is #WWBD - What Would Blake Do? Welcome to...Listen! 

Take #5! I chat with a GT librarian and doctoral student in public policy, Ameet Doshi, about what it means to take care of yourself as a student. We dive into self-care, meditation, and more. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #4.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 6 was absolutely insane. We were DROWNING in dramatic exits, tears, and sheer drama. And, as usual, we discuss what Blake Horstmann would do in these situations, because we adore him. Welcome to...Listen!  

Take #4! I chat with my friend Abbey about the extensive Romantic Comedy film genre in the spirit of Valentine’s Day! We dive into the different subgenres, list out some of our favorite movies, and freak out about the timeless quality of the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan pairing. We also expose a lot of secrets about the fast-track to a girl’s heart (hint: just quote Mr. Darcy). Lots of heart eyes and giggli...

Take #3.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 5 was...rather boring. Lauren was a trooper and watched the random reality show that Cassie was on, and I expressed my thoughts about Elyse (I love her!!!). To make up for the lack of action, we praised Blake Horstmann yet again. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #3! I chat with my wonderful friend Domo about being a woman in the workplace, code switching, and how to really understand diversity. As usual, lots of laughter and a teeeeensy bit of explicit language (Domo and I have a lot of opinions, okay?). Welcome to...Listen!

Take #2.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 4 had some powerful moments. We also gushed excessively about Blake Horstmann, as usual. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #2! I chat with a Georgia Tech marketing professor about why learning isn’t exciting anymore. How can we make the classroom more fun? Are we destined for old, boring, lifeless lectures? As usual, excessive giggling galore. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #1.5! I chat with my friend Lauren about The Bachelor. Week 3 was really a ride and a half. We didn't hold back. Welcome to...Listen!

Take #1! I chat with my male compatriot, Trevor, about men, gender norms, and dating. Also, excessive giggling, unsolicited opinions, and sassy retorts galore. Welcome to...Listen!
