Episode #37 of The Happiest Sad Person Podcast.

Join me, Alessandra, as I discuss designing my own hodgepodge syllabus for my life-long education plan (or at least for the foreseeable future). I also muse on the sadness that is adulthood, how we "childify" America, and how to find the simple joys as a grown-up -- for me it naturally involves dry erase markers.

It's a perfect combo of social commentary and self-betterment, what's better than that? :)
