I knew a black woman who was giving her mothers address so her daughter could go to a better public school, and she got a year in jail for that. It’s crazy they got off so easy.
Jail is supposed to be for people a danger to themselves or others Not for financial crimes or crimes like the one you mentioned She doesn’t deserve time because someone couldn’t afford a lawyer. That’s. a ridiculous expectation
It was even sadder when they showed reactions of people getting rejected and crying and saying “I’m sure the people who got in deserved it” like no it wasn’t deserved :(
I wish Olivia Jade’s parents suggested a gap year, then allowed her to make the decision about applying to college. Now they have ruined all of their lives over the parents pride.
Eh, they'll be fine. They have money. But yeah, a really dumb decision. Especially because Olivia was doing so well without college so it's insane how important the name of this school was.
My kid will get this..and we're not rich...but I wish my parents had let me have a year to figure my shit out..I was not ready for school right after High School, and it resulted in so much money and time wasted. But I also will be teaching him how to Rebar Detail at 17, so he will always have a way to make some money.
I remember I was supposed to take a gap year, my parents approved it, and then changed their mind in July because my mom decided to go to school too and I was told I had to take at least one class or get kicked out so I ended up going to community College with my mom. We even accidentally took a class together a few semesters later.
I'm a senior right now, but I remember when I was a sophomore, a senior at the time told another senior "I'm actually going to a real school, it's a university not a community college." And I was so mad, even if it wasn't directed to me. Just her statement was so ignorant and stupid. It's sad how students still put each other down just because of their future school.
Omg dude when I told all my “friends” I decided to go to a community college to get my license in esthetics rather than a “real college” they all judged me so hard 😭😭😭😭
As someone who went to a university, I WARN people of going to a college or university for the sake of saying they did, I always recommend community college or even finding a way to not go to college at all (if possible). Because at times it really is a scam, taking your money and not even giving you everything you need for after you graduate.
Starting at the community college was the best thing. I did not have anyone but myself to pay for school, community college is affordable and education is the same as university. Got my associates, transferred to university got my bachelors. Community college they focus on education so you can work in the field of study, not just passing you (graduation rate). Anyone can still end up in their dream university if they so desire and can save a fortune by being a transfer student. I enjoyed very much doing both, also, employers like seeing diversity in resume, so it’s actually a big bonus. You show that you are a reasonable person, that’s why you should be hired. Associates (2 years) is an education to show for. I had no debt coming from community college, and had no problems transferring because I had a clear plan in mind and worked with community college counselors to get there. You get rewards and scholarships, and may even get employers to assist as well. I could go on and on, but I wish people understood the value of community college and did not take such opportunity lightly. I had good employers and got jobs as well. And yes, when I was in high school and we had to take a college test, I heard rich kids make funny comments as we walked through college hallways. I wonder where they are today lol 😆 10 years later
@@Luci-ue5px I totally agree, community colleges help one save a bunch of money, and it's still quality education. It's just the stigma that surrounds it that makes people turn away from community colleges. :( I 100% would've gone to a community college but I was lucky enough to get a nice scholarship to a four year school. I cheer on my friends and everyone else who strives to complete a higher education, no matter where they're educated.
I know it's kinda a meme at this point- but living in Colorado while also telling people not to move here is tired and toxic. There's room for everyone. Some people want to build a better life for themselves and Colorado is inclusive enough where people feel safe to come here. It's annoying how natives think it's ok to gatekeep an entire state. This land is everyone's.
@@margyblackk1234 so kind of you to say because that’s exactly how I’ve felt since moving here! Colorado truly is one of the most magical places in the United States to live and I feel so blessed every day to wake up here. I know they meant no harm when they said it, but that was really lovely to hear 💘 thank you :)
@@blackpearlyoga you’re welcome! I moved here 5 years ago and still get rude comments. Telling people to “go back where they came from” is still rude even when it doesn’t have a racial underdone. My boyfriend is a CO native and I’m very lucky his family doesn’t treat me like I don’t belong
@@margyblackk1234 I moved to Oregon two years ago from Washington state because my fiancé got a promotion and a transfer, and the amount of times people would say “UGH! You are one of those.” I just started telling them point blank, “trust me I didn’t want to move here.” Then they defend their state...it’s so stupid🙃
This podcast is addictive. And I'm 62 years old, with gray hair!! I would like to see you do an episode about the Dutch girls who disappeared in Panama back in 2014; Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon. This is an intriguing mystery that I would like your take on. Thank you.
I'm a UCLA student, #1 public university, and USC's rival. We always point out the scandals to the point of a new phrase saying "work your way into UCLA, pay your way into USC" I worked my ass off to get in!!
@@juliagaas8562 😓 that sucks.. but if you're smart enough to get in then you're smart enough to forge your way to success no matter what!! Keep going ❤️ ✨
This whole college scandal is so upsetting and disappointing. I wanted to go to college right out of high school so bad but I couldn't afford it. I worked my ass off in school but it didn't help me get excepted into a school.
That sounds really hard and I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. If I could offer some solace I'd like to let you know the only thing I would change about my university experience (graduates 2019) is that I could have waited a year or two to grow as a human before spending soo much money on my education... and fucking up my first year and a half. Also with the pandemic school is fucked up right now! Sorry for the unsolicited info but things will fall into place when it's time!! You got this
@@emeryd7424 thank you for the advice. Much appreciated, my small town doesn't teach anything about what college to go to or what courses you need for what careers so it's really difficult to figure out.
I just graduated with a masters in school counseling and he makes me want to start my own LEGITIMATE side business to help student LEGITIMATELY get into college lollll
I come for a Hispanic house hold, my parents don’t speak English. I was afraid to apply for college without the support so I didn’t. Here I am 4 year later regarding my decisions I’d be graduating now. Please help those kids for us 🖤
I get so much anxiety on Sunday nights about everything that I’m gonna have to do starting on Monday but this podcast helps me relax so much on Sunday night -thanks ladies :)
I went to NYU and graduated during the pandemic last May... I'm jobless so I can fully attest that you are fully paying for the name and that it really doesn't make a big difference where you go lol
I have a P.H.D from Oxford and even I had a hard time finding a job. So yeah the school does not instantly mean anyone is going to see your diploma and hire you!
OMGGG yesss Jenelle's hair is absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm a Leo with similar hair, dark black, shiny, and 2 feet long! Kendall, I love your hair too!! the color is just perfect!!
Kendall is going to be such a good mom! Saying how she looks at the situation and how she would tell her kids she will love them no matter what school they go to. They're gonna be lucky kids💚
I went to a public high school but there were a lot of wealthy families that went there and it wasn’t a well-kept secret at all that the rich kids could pay their way out of trouble, change their grades, or just get passed along
same, I went to a public school exactly like that. I remember i failed math once and had to retake it and there was a really rich boy in my math class the next semester, who also failed, and after like a week he was transferred. Apparently it was a "mistake on the school's part." Even though we all know he failed all the time. I am sure it happens all the time.
Yeah I spoke to some girls who grew up around it, they said they were naive and thought everyone knew it happened and it was so common they didn’t even really question it.
Yes! Screw standardized tests! I have ADHD and I don't test well, it doesn't mean I'm not smart. I'm now a mom and my son also has ADHD. He has an upcoming test and he's only 10 and has so much anxiety and has been literally brought to tears over it. It's not healthy.
I have ADHD and I always struggled with testing. I had such bad test anxiety. I would test poorly, but when I was tested a different way, I.e. verbally I would do really well. I hate standardized tests. The only thing they measure is how well you can take a test.
As someone who struggles from mental illness that is deeply rooted from trying to reach those numbers, I find this topic so important. I was the smart kid and now I’m the college dropout. At least I’m happy now living as myself and not a number 😊 Thank you guys for having this important conversation !!
Janelle got her Masters in Counseling?! That's amazing. I also have my Masters and I am working towards being licensed, but hey, that's okay if she's taking a break and/or figured out it wasn't for her. I think she'd make a kickass therapist and would love to pick her mind about it. :)
I just went to a local community College and got my associates and turned out I didnt want to pursue what I got my degree in a few years after I graduated. Thats where I stopped. Also I just wanted to shout out Kendall for being so open about having an IEP because I work in a school with kids that have IEPs and its so important to realize that isn't a bad thing.
I graduated college with honors in Social Services, I recently got into the Disability Studies program at Ryerson U. I'm waiting to see if I got into the Bachelors of Social Work program. I have a physical disability and a learning disability so I am very proud of myself for continuously proving people wrong.
When I was a freshman I was going to a school with a 5 year masters and I felt like I had finally made it. My parents were SO happy and I just felt amazing. I had to drop out 3 months later from my chronic illness and I was HEARTBROKEN I felt like my life was over. My friends were all at sxhool and I was a full time patient, I remember calling my best friend on the phone crying when I made my decision. Honestly looking back my life has been opened up to so much more now and I’m so happy that things changed but it was SO hard.
I smiled so big and did a little happy dance when Janelle (so sorry if I misspelled your name) talked about going to therapy, so proud of you and anyone else taking that step to better yourself, love and positivity to the community ❤️
Seriously look forward to this podcast every Sunday! It puts me in a good head space before the week. I love how you guys said you made it to listen to while we do things like fold our laundry, and that’s literally what I’m doing while watching! You guys are two beautiful ladies with the best vibes! 💕💕💫💫
I went to community college and it was so fantastic. I only have my associates degree and I plan on going back to a local 4 year school to finish my degree eventually but community college at least the one I went to is the exact same as going to any other school of not better because professors literally knew my name and actually cared about my education
I’m going to a university in my hometown but so many of my friends went to the state universities like Texas A&M and UT Austin and they always make me feel like crap for it, even my parents but at the end of the day an education is an education. No matter where you go
Girly if you're talking about UTSA don't be ashamed, cheapest tuition in Texas right here🙌🏻 and it is becoming more competitive. I had no idea until I went to the university
A&M? 🤮 most people I work with went to A&M and they’re EXTREMELY annoying 🙄 I went to UH and I loved it! And look at us..... doing the same work, getting paid the same. Only difference is they paid more for their education and maybe put more effort into school than I did 🤪 So yeah school doesn’t make a difference.
I remember in HS I would get half points on problems because I didn't solve the equation the way they wanted but got the correct answer. School is so fucked, my husband dropped out and he's the smartest person I know and owns his own business.
I’m a professional fundraiser and have worked inside universities across the country. You wouldn’t believe what school administrators would do for a quick check. 😒
I attend UTRGV, it's a smaller university in South Texas. I got my bachelors degree and am currently getting my master's degree there. It's WAY less expensive compared to other schools and it's fully accredited so I'm happy.. I still have to pass an exam to get my certificate of clinical competence but the program prepares you for the same exam that everyone else in the program has to take. it's so true that no one cares what grades you get once you've graduated, as long as you have your degree, that's all that matters. Side note: I love your CBD products, it's helped my anxiety and has helped me focus on these stressful projects and study days.
The fact college/universities cost so much gives me so much anxiety. Thankfully there’s like financial aid but that isn’t enough, college is simply too expensive for nothing!
I grew up in Durango, CO and went to Fort Lewis College. Everyone called it Fort Leisure. I loved every second of it! Also had barely any student debt, so there’s that.
I'm currently doing my senior project for psychology which is a literature review on the effects of sexual objectification in media on women. I know that I am very capable academically, but looking at grad programs honestly make me feel so hopeless because of the cost. I was so upset when this college scandal thing came out
I live in Malta and we only have 1 university here (UOM- University of Malta), though we do have other educational institutions that can get you diplomas/degrees but aren't considered as universities (nor as prestigious) and don't have as many requirements to get into compared to UOM. In addition, people who are 23+ can apply for most UOM courses even if they do not satisfy uni requirements, but would have to go for an interview with UOM administration. All of the under grad courses are free here , except for post grad courses which vary from 1-8k (euros per year). We also get a yearly grant of 1k euros and 90 euros per month as stipend to compensate for the books we buy and for continuing our education instead of working. The fact that you guys in the US have to pay soo much to get into a school blows my mind. Edit: For reference, 1k euros equals 1170 US dollars
I get sad when Kendall and Janelle say not to move to Colorado because it's been my dream since I was 13! I wish everyone understood the pain of living in Illinois, I take the 14 hour drive there twice a year just to admire the beauty :')
My husband lives in colorado. It's such a huge place. He is in denver colorado. I am from new zealand and the beauty here of our country I think nothing compares....i saw lots of briwn fields and the mountains in the far far distance. I absolutely love it there however.
lmao same i’m planning to move to colorado when i finish school bc it’s my dream location (: grew up in south florida so i need a change of scenery so bad
I went to a small town high school and the girl who received all the scholarships was from one of the town's wealthiest families who made all the donations to the school.
Originally from CO, but went to USC when this all broke. 1st gen. in my family to go anywhere and worked my butt off, having the campus swarmed with reporters was definitely surreal.
I just graduated from Brown in December! I come from a rural background, so it was cool to go there with financial aid and study everything I wanted to
I was a competitive swimmer so we used to play water polo after practice some times for fun but that sport is violent. My stepbrother‘s friend was a water polo player in college and he lost his eye during a game if that tells you anything
I started school at community college and got my two year degree and then transferred to a university to get my bachelors, but as a senior in high school I felt so left out because I wasn’t going to a “good school”. But I have WAY less debt so it’s honestly so much smarter.
I got my bachelor’s degree from a local private college and worked so hard to get there and totally get how frustrating buying your way in is! I transferred from a local community college, took AP classes in high school to build up credit, and applied for every possible scholarship while there were students who being recruited to come to my school to play on the new football team with an incentive of a full ride scholarship. Unfair didn’t even seem to cut it 😭
Paying for a school name and it not working out is true! I'm still in community college and I've earned competitive positions that UPenn and NYU graduates didn't obtain. When I asked some of my employers why, they said that these graduates may have X school on their resume, and maybe they have some experience, but sometimes what it comes down to is your character and if you have real world experience/connections. Not only that, you gotta learn all the tricks to impress someone with your resume and interview. Some of these things won't be emphasize by a university because let's be honest, they don't care about you once you graduate.
This!!!!! I got a great job in my last year of college and this was purely based on my character; down to earth, professional and responsible. These things money cannot buy 👏 Also a lot of workplaces expect you to know very little; and want to train you in the role. So being an open minded learner helps too!
I related so much to this episode. I got good grades in high school like A’s and B’s but I was the shittiest tester ever when it came to the SATs. I ended up going to a local college that didn’t even look at my SAT’s. Got good grades in college, it took me 8 years to get a job related to my degree after I graduated. This system is so broken.
I go to University of Toronto which is technically in the "top 20 universities in the world" but idk many people who actually know about it. It's definitely a tough environment though. Very competitive. To the point where people would rather get a 4.0 than socialize or make a life-long friend. Scary.
Maybe some tapestry or those big scarfs you can hang on the wall? Have you ever seen this store East Meets West? I'm imagining that kinda vibe for chilling and relaxing surrounds. Maybe a reed diffuser. Scentsy has some great ones that have a flower in them you can color before you put them in for use!
I honestly don't know how to express my love for these unproblematic queens 😍 with so much going on, a nice girl sesh is very appreciated. ✌️ ❤️ and ☀️ vibes
I am so heavily heartbroken💔 today, we had to put my dog Rocky down the day before Easter. we had him for at least 13 years. One of the best dogs ever! A big Tan/brown sweet lovable an excellent guard dog! Rocky had cancer in his stomach. I'm sorry if this is weird. I just felt the need to share the memory of such a wonderful dog, with people I thought could really empathize! And truly understand the need to celebrate such a wonderful animal! And truly knowing the positive effect of great dog can have on your life. I just watched your Drunk History dog show episode and it was a mixture of tears and happiness Rocky kind of reminds me of Lucy but way more muscular. Love your show love what you all do!💋
My dad has always told me and my brothers and my boys, college is so overrated it’s unreal. He knows plenty of people’s kids who have degrees/Masters and work as pizza delivery drivers and other basic jobs. It’s craziness!!!!
To have plants in a room with no windows, you can get UV plant bulbs from any hardware / home improvement store or section. They will keep your plants alive & healthy & the best part is the light is pink / purple & adds such a nice vibe to the room!
I was hoping you guys would cover this next! Btw, Janelle, you literally have the most gorgeous hair ever! You both are absolutely beautiful! Love you guys! 💗
I remember going to a private, all-girls college preparatory high school. The girls in my class would always brag about which schools they got into. I knew I would go to a good school, but I did not feel good about myself when they bragged about it. :( And I feel the same way about standardized tests. I felt less bright when I took the SATs and the ACTs and received okay or not-so-great scores.
I am graduating from college this May and the whole conversation about needing experience to get hired out of school but not having experience because you were just in school for FOUR YEARS was so comforting to me. Not to mention for people like myself who can’t afford to take summer internships bc you need to work full time to pay your own way through school. The system is definitely messed up and outdated. Anyway love you guys this was a great one!!
I went to a high school in TX where people were very concerned where you went to school. Everyone tried to go out of state or to a big name/top tier university BUT I noticed that within a few years lots of them ended up transferring back home to go to local/state colleges. I went to a state school (Sam Houston State University-Eat ‘Em Up Kats!!) and loved every minute of it. Now finishing up my masters from another smaller university. I totally agree that people are more concerned with the image and reputation. ALSO congrats on 50k y’all!!!!!🎉
During our 9th grade orientation our school put so much emphasis on the same senior project where you would have to write a paper, create a product and then present it in front of people. Me being painfully shy and extremely socially anxious at the time died internally when I heard this. Then we barely heard about it until my junior or senior year when they realized that we were never given time during school to work on it and it was never mentioned by our teachers. So they just let it go and I remember everyone being so relieved lol.
We had to do this at my high school in order to graduate. It was terrifying. Luckily I switched schools my senior year, but I cant imagine if I had to actually do it. I probably wouldn't of graduated 😆
They did the same thing my freshman year and then we heard about it junior yeah too, then coke senior year we spent all this time and work on it to not even have to do the presentation. I was so happy but I had gone through so much stress and anxiety because I too was painfully shy.
I graduated with a Bachelors in Business from one of the 4 state schools we had in my state. But in high school we had a guidance counselor that would help us decide what "career path" we should take. I came from a family that didn't have a lot of money so he straight up said to me, "knowing your family you should just go to community College because you wouldn't make it at a 4 year school".... Well I applied to that 4 year college, got accepted, applied for scholarships and received them for my grades, and I graduated with my degree. And less than 1 year after graduating I had all my student loans paid off. So thanks for him doubting me cause I proved him wrong 🙌
My little sister got into a car accident her freshman year and was in a literal coma for 1 week and then in the hospital for 1 month re-learning how to walk, talk, eat, etc.. Her school failed her in all 4 classes and she lost her financial aid. She is still paying out of pocket 1 class at a time so she can raise her GPA and get her financial aid back. Stories like this piss me off so much. ugh
I went to the Community College of Philadelphia. It had one of the toughest and most competitive programs in the area. Having changed my major and schools, I needed to be out working asap. I graduated in 2 years, debt free and very well prepared to start my first nursing job. Love you gals! One of the highlights of my week is listening to The Sesh! Especially happy to listen outside in the sunshine on a beautiful spring day!!
I also instantly thought of a tropical theme for the sesh! I totally picture these beautiful women surrounded by palm trees and beach vibes just relaxing and talking story. I think it fits with the chill refreshing vibe of the podcast 🌴
@@TheSeshPodcast it would be super fun to take a bunch of comments and ideas you guys like and would use and make polls on Twitter or something and see the vibe! Like deciding on paint, furniture, etc! Love yall!!! Stay safe xox
The system is completely rigged. I felt similarly in high school and told myself I just wasn’t even going to try and go to college because I knew my mom’s debt to income ratio was effed from her going to school and she wasn’t in a position to help me. Shortly before graduating high school I found myself pregnant and what a blessing in disguise because through the loop hole of “becoming another statistic” (single black teen mom) I was able to receive good financial aid. BUT THE CATCH is that now I’m in massive amounts of debt and CANT find work anywhere since the pandemic. It’s just a joke and really makes people feel like crap about themselves and their choices. I worked my butt off to receive my bachelors of science, worked the whole time, raised my family, and graduated early all to not be able to find a decent paying job. I love you guys 🤎
thank you!!! i was about halfway thru kendall’s new video before it stopped loading and i was sooo sad because i hadn’t even noticed any errors, i was so into it !! but now i’m excited to see that video the way you wanted it to be seen, and now i have the sesh to get me thru until then💖 thank you ladies for always making my weekend 💜💜💜
@@hilliardsmith1073 she tweeted that there were edits she wanted to make, and she didn’t want to leave it up and will repost in the morning!! i’m excited to watch after work 💜🎉
I have been waiting for my ladies to calm me down. It's Always my favorite way to end one week and begin a new one 💖🥰! Join Kendall and Janelle for the Sesh and I am completely 😊 Happy. Such few things bring joy to my heart these days. Thank You for the wonderful job my dear friends 💞💞💞I am sending you lots of love and positive vibes.💞💞💞💞💞💞
This show is like a breath of fresh air for me! My life has been a bit hectic and stressful lately and watching the sesh feels like hanging out with friends and shooting the shit about whatever comes to mind. I’ve been a long time viewer of Kendall and mile higher and I also watch lights out but the sesh is like taking a weekly mental health hour and I’m so happy about it! I love you ladies! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for pointing out that many community colleges are just as good as universities. My mother in law was a professor at both Gonzaga University and at Spokane Community College in Washington State. She actually preferred SCC to the university for a variety of reasons, including that the university paid her less than her male counterparts! I was shocked but it happens all the time and the public has no idea.
I knew a black woman who was giving her mothers address so her daughter could go to a better public school, and she got a year in jail for that. It’s crazy they got off so easy.
Some of the parents didn't even get 2 months in jail, definitely goes to show that rich privilege is real.
I can’t believe people are punished for wanting what’s best for their children. This is so sad.
Yeah it was maddening.
Absolute trash!!!
Jail is supposed to be for people a danger to themselves or others
Not for financial crimes or crimes like the one you mentioned
She doesn’t deserve time because someone couldn’t afford a lawyer. That’s. a ridiculous expectation
It was even sadder when they showed reactions of people getting rejected and crying and saying “I’m sure the people who got in deserved it” like no it wasn’t deserved :(
The opening music makes me feel so calm and happy 😊
so true
Meeee too
Yesss. This podcast is my safe space

@@margyblackk1234 I moved to Oregon two years ago from Washington state because my fiancé got a promotion and a transfer, and the amount of times people would say “UGH! You are one of those.” I just started telling them point blank, “trust me I didn’t want to move here.” Then they defend their state...it’s so stupid🙃
Janelle: I have scheduled therapy
H3 Foot Soldiers: Shout out to her family 🥰
😂
foot soldier checking in to confirm.
Peace and love peace and LOVE
This podcast is addictive. And I'm 62 years old, with gray hair!!
I would like to see you do an episode about the Dutch girls who disappeared in Panama back in 2014; Kris Kremers & Lisanne Froon. This is an intriguing mystery that I would like your take on. Thank you.
Bump
I think kendall has a video on her channel about that case !
I just heard about this case from the morbid podcast. So crazy. Those poor girls.
I know this case too! It freaks me out more than any case I've ever heard about.
I'm a UCLA student, #1 public university, and USC's rival. We always point out the scandals to the point of a new phrase saying "work your way into UCLA, pay your way into USC" I worked my ass off to get in!!
@@juliagaas8562 😓 that sucks.. but if you're smart enough to get in then you're smart enough to forge your way to success no matter what!! Keep going ❤️ ✨
Janelle with her hoop earrings and long hair is such a look 👌
I just got done watching Kendall’s video about princess Diana, now I get to watch the Sesh, never been more excited!
Was it deleted? I cant find it anywhere. I saw it in my notifications but i cant find it on her channel.
Nevermind
I was watching it and paused it to come back and it was deleted 😭🥺
She said she wanted to fix the editing
Okay, not actually losing my mind...
This whole college scandal is so upsetting and disappointing. I wanted to go to college right out of high school so bad but I couldn't afford it. I worked my ass off in school but it didn't help me get excepted into a school.
That sounds really hard and I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. If I could offer some solace I'd like to let you know the only thing I would change about my university experience (graduates 2019) is that I could have waited a year or two to grow as a human before spending soo much money on my education... and fucking up my first year and a half. Also with the pandemic school is fucked up right now! Sorry for the unsolicited info but things will fall into place when it's time!! You got this
@@emeryd7424 thank you for the advice. Much appreciated, my small town doesn't teach anything about what college to go to or what courses you need for what careers so it's really difficult to figure out.
*accepted
I just graduated with a masters in school counseling and he makes me want to start my own LEGITIMATE side business to help student LEGITIMATELY get into college lollll
Help me get into law school!! Lol
This is a really good idea! I definitely would’ve paid for a service like that
I come for a Hispanic house hold, my parents don’t speak English. I was afraid to apply for college without the support so I didn’t. Here I am 4 year later regarding my decisions I’d be graduating now. Please help those kids for us 🖤
@@veronicaortiz8896 I will. I interned at a predominantly Hispanic high school so I truly have a passion to help kids just like you! 🤍
@@audreyhansen-judd2962 well I’m glad to hear that not everyone hates us. This country has become very scary for many of us.
Omg ladies I don’t know what it is but you are both looking SO beautiful today! Both of you have amazing hair
I get so much anxiety on Sunday nights about everything that I’m gonna have to do starting on Monday but this podcast helps me relax so much on Sunday night -thanks ladies :)
I went to NYU and graduated during the pandemic last May... I'm jobless so I can fully attest that you are fully paying for the name and that it really doesn't make a big difference where you go lol
70s talk show vibes for the sesh studio idea☺️☺️
Ooo like it!
I have a P.H.D from Oxford and even I had a hard time finding a job. So yeah the school does not instantly mean anyone is going to see your diploma and hire you!
such a shame!!!
Sometimes they even label people as over qualified. It's ridiculous.
Ok girls, you're both looking unreal in this episode.. But Kendall, girl... You're glowing!!
“Is this legal.. idk dude check your books” I died 😂
I’d love to see 90’s vibes on the space
Exactly what I was envisioning, some inflatable furniture and one of those TVs that had the VCR built in 😍
@@sabrinab4245 omg yessss the inflatable couches 😂😂 or maybe bean bags!
Yessss!!!!
OMGGG yesss Jenelle's hair is absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm a Leo with similar hair, dark black, shiny, and 2 feet long! Kendall, I love your hair too!! the color is just perfect!!
I respect your views about the "spicy" section. Honestly well said 🥰
Kendall is going to be such a good mom! Saying how she looks at the situation and how she would tell her kids she will love them no matter what school they go to. They're gonna be lucky kids💚
I went to a public high school but there were a lot of wealthy families that went there and it wasn’t a well-kept secret at all that the rich kids could pay their way out of trouble, change their grades, or just get passed along
same, I went to a public school exactly like that. I remember i failed math once and had to retake it and there was a really rich boy in my math class the next semester, who also failed, and after like a week he was transferred. Apparently it was a "mistake on the school's part." Even though we all know he failed all the time. I am sure it happens all the time.
Yeah I spoke to some girls who grew up around it, they said they were naive and thought everyone knew it happened and it was so common they didn’t even really question it.
Yes! Screw standardized tests! I have ADHD and I don't test well, it doesn't mean I'm not smart. I'm now a mom and my son also has ADHD. He has an upcoming test and he's only 10 and has so much anxiety and has been literally brought to tears over it. It's not healthy.
My son is dyslexic and we have constant struggles
It was so hard to get him diagnosed and get the school to acknowledge that he has it
I have ADHD and I always struggled with testing. I had such bad test anxiety. I would test poorly, but when I was tested a different way, I.e. verbally I would do really well. I hate standardized tests. The only thing they measure is how well you can take a test.
As someone who struggles from mental illness that is deeply rooted from trying to reach those numbers, I find this topic so important. I was the smart kid and now I’m the college dropout. At least I’m happy now living as myself and not a number 😊
Thank you guys for having this important conversation !!
I can relate to that a lot. I was also the super smart kid & then dropped out of high school.
I need Netflix to come out with a second movie all about the kids involved in this it would be really interesting.
Does anyone else have a girl crush on Janelle?🥰
On both! Kendall and Janelle!
Yup 🤩
She's definitely got that sexy librarian vibe!😍
In high school some rich girl who never played basketball before took my spot on the basketball team because her dad made a “donation”.
Opening the show with complimenting one another is such a good vibe
Janelle got her Masters in Counseling?! That's amazing. I also have my Masters and I am working towards being licensed, but hey, that's okay if she's taking a break and/or figured out it wasn't for her. I think she'd make a kickass therapist and would love to pick her mind about it. :)
HELL YES!! TIME FOR SESH!!!!
I just went to a local community College and got my associates and turned out I didnt want to pursue what I got my degree in a few years after I graduated. Thats where I stopped. Also I just wanted to shout out Kendall for being so open about having an IEP because I work in a school with kids that have IEPs and its so important to realize that isn't a bad thing.
A neighborhood friend got into Cornell. Raised in a single parent home and worked his butt off to get there. So maddening.
Ideas for new studio: faux plants, macrame, neutral colors, maybe a pop of color, light wood, accents of gold or copper 🪴✌🏼🌳💨✨
Kendall’s hair does always look good!!! My hair is so so thin too 😩
Actually an episode on aromatherapy and mindfulness would be so cool
Yo I would love to see this
I graduated college with honors in Social Services, I recently got into the Disability Studies program at Ryerson U. I'm waiting to see if I got into the Bachelors of Social Work program. I have a physical disability and a learning disability so I am very proud of myself for continuously proving people wrong.
I think for the sesh.. some plants, big cozy round fuzzy big chairs, some purple or colored lighting, etc!
When I was a freshman I was going to a school with a 5 year masters and I felt like I had finally made it. My parents were SO happy and I just felt amazing. I had to drop out 3 months later from my chronic illness and I was HEARTBROKEN I felt like my life was over. My friends were all at sxhool and I was a full time patient, I remember calling my best friend on the phone crying when I made my decision. Honestly looking back my life has been opened up to so much more now and I’m so happy that things changed but it was SO hard.
I was so bummed about the princess Diana video(but I totally understand)....but then The Sesh saves the day lol
I smiled so big and did a little happy dance when Janelle (so sorry if I misspelled your name) talked about going to therapy, so proud of you and anyone else taking that step to better yourself, love and positivity to the community ❤️
Therapy is the besssst!
Omg a painted 70’s mural with the colors of the logo would be amazing, with plants and like cool lamps??? Hell yeah
is it just me who rewatches mile higher, the sesh and lights out over and over again throughout the week until a new upload? it’s my only hobby🤣💞
Seriously look forward to this podcast every Sunday! It puts me in a good head space before the week. I love how you guys said you made it to listen to while we do things like fold our laundry, and that’s literally what I’m doing while watching! You guys are two beautiful ladies with the best vibes! 💕💕💫💫
I went to community college and it was so fantastic. I only have my associates degree and I plan on going back to a local 4 year school to finish my degree eventually but community college at least the one I went to is the exact same as going to any other school of not better because professors literally knew my name and actually cared about my education
I’m going to a university in my hometown but so many of my friends went to the state universities like Texas A&M and UT Austin and they always make me feel like crap for it, even my parents but at the end of the day an education is an education. No matter where you go
Girly if you're talking about UTSA don't be ashamed, cheapest tuition in Texas right here🙌🏻 and it is becoming more competitive. I had no idea until I went to the university
@@Dionnerivera nooo I go to UTEP but I’ve heard great things about UTSA
A&M? 🤮 most people I work with went to A&M and they’re EXTREMELY annoying 🙄 I went to UH and I loved it! And look at us..... doing the same work, getting paid the same. Only difference is they paid more for their education and maybe put more effort into school than I did 🤪 So yeah school doesn’t make a difference.
I remember in HS I would get half points on problems because I didn't solve the equation the way they wanted but got the correct answer. School is so fucked, my husband dropped out and he's the smartest person I know and owns his own business.
the school system is such a scam it’s ridiculous
I’m a professional fundraiser and have worked inside universities across the country. You wouldn’t believe what school administrators would do for a quick check. 😒
I attend UTRGV, it's a smaller university in South Texas. I got my bachelors degree and am currently getting my master's degree there. It's WAY less expensive compared to other schools and it's fully accredited so I'm happy.. I still have to pass an exam to get my certificate of clinical competence but the program prepares you for the same exam that everyone else in the program has to take. it's so true that no one cares what grades you get once you've graduated, as long as you have your degree, that's all that matters.
Side note: I love your CBD products, it's helped my anxiety and has helped me focus on these stressful projects and study days.
The fact college/universities cost so much gives me so much anxiety. Thankfully there’s like financial aid but that isn’t enough, college is simply too expensive for nothing!
I grew up in Durango, CO and went to Fort Lewis College. Everyone called it Fort Leisure. I loved every second of it! Also had barely any student debt, so there’s that.
I'm currently doing my senior project for psychology which is a literature review on the effects of sexual objectification in media on women. I know that I am very capable academically, but looking at grad programs honestly make me feel so hopeless because of the cost. I was so upset when this college scandal thing came out
I live in Malta and we only have 1 university here (UOM- University of Malta), though we do have other educational institutions that can get you diplomas/degrees but aren't considered as universities (nor as prestigious) and don't have as many requirements to get into compared to UOM. In addition, people who are 23+ can apply for most UOM courses even if they do not satisfy uni requirements, but would have to go for an interview with UOM administration.
All of the under grad courses are free here , except for post grad courses which vary from 1-8k (euros per year). We also get a yearly grant of 1k euros and 90 euros per month as stipend to compensate for the books we buy and for continuing our education instead of working.
The fact that you guys in the US have to pay soo much to get into a school blows my mind.
Edit: For reference, 1k euros equals 1170 US dollars
I get sad when Kendall and Janelle say not to move to Colorado because it's been my dream since I was 13! I wish everyone understood the pain of living in Illinois, I take the 14 hour drive there twice a year just to admire the beauty :')
Same! I live in Chicago and it’s so boring seeing the city :(
My husband lives in colorado. It's such a huge place. He is in denver colorado. I am from new zealand and the beauty here of our country I think nothing compares....i saw lots of briwn fields and the mountains in the far far distance. I absolutely love it there however.
That’s how I feel! I’ve been wanting to move to Colorado for years haha, i want to get out of California
@@mariarojas4169 im in chicago too!
lmao same i’m planning to move to colorado when i finish school bc it’s my dream location (: grew up in south florida so i need a change of scenery so bad
Janelle is so stunning, her hair is majestic
Happy Easter to you both! 🐰 Thank you for taking the time to upload on a holiday, this makes my day so much better!
Yay to therapy!! Proud of you its going to be so worth it. Hope you find a therapist who is the perfect fit Janelle~
I went to a small town high school and the girl who received all the scholarships was from one of the town's wealthiest families who made all the donations to the school.
Originally from CO, but went to USC when this all broke. 1st gen. in my family to go anywhere and worked my butt off, having the campus swarmed with reporters was definitely surreal.
I just graduated from Brown in December! I come from a rural background, so it was cool to go there with financial aid and study everything I wanted to
I was a competitive swimmer so we used to play water polo after practice some times for fun but that sport is violent. My stepbrother‘s friend was a water polo player in college and he lost his eye during a game if that tells you anything
I started school at community college and got my two year degree and then transferred to a university to get my bachelors, but as a senior in high school I felt so left out because I wasn’t going to a “good school”. But I have WAY less debt so it’s honestly so much smarter.
I got my bachelor’s degree from a local private college and worked so hard to get there and totally get how frustrating buying your way in is! I transferred from a local community college, took AP classes in high school to build up credit, and applied for every possible scholarship while there were students who being recruited to come to my school to play on the new football team with an incentive of a full ride scholarship. Unfair didn’t even seem to cut it 😭
Yesssss love you guys so much! You make my Sunday’s so much better! ❤️
Paying for a school name and it not working out is true! I'm still in community college and I've earned competitive positions that UPenn and NYU graduates didn't obtain. When I asked some of my employers why, they said that these graduates may have X school on their resume, and maybe they have some experience, but sometimes what it comes down to is your character and if you have real world experience/connections. Not only that, you gotta learn all the tricks to impress someone with your resume and interview. Some of these things won't be emphasize by a university because let's be honest, they don't care about you once you graduate.
This!!!!! I got a great job in my last year of college and this was purely based on my character; down to earth, professional and responsible. These things money cannot buy 👏 Also a lot of workplaces expect you to know very little; and want to train you in the role. So being an open minded learner helps too!
Yay! Happy Easter everyone! Hope you have a great rest of your day.😃🐰🐇🐣🐥
I related so much to this episode. I got good grades in high school like A’s and B’s but I was the shittiest tester ever when it came to the SATs. I ended up going to a local college that didn’t even look at my SAT’s. Got good grades in college, it took me 8 years to get a job related to my degree after I graduated. This system is so broken.
I go to University of Toronto which is technically in the "top 20 universities in the world" but idk many people who actually know about it. It's definitely a tough environment though. Very competitive. To the point where people would rather get a 4.0 than socialize or make a life-long friend. Scary.
Maybe some tapestry or those big scarfs you can hang on the wall? Have you ever seen this store East Meets West? I'm imagining that kinda vibe for chilling and relaxing surrounds. Maybe a reed diffuser. Scentsy has some great ones that have a flower in them you can color before you put them in for use!
I honestly don't know how to express my love for these unproblematic queens 😍 with so much going on, a nice girl sesh is very appreciated. ✌️ ❤️ and ☀️ vibes
I am so heavily heartbroken💔 today, we had to put my dog Rocky down the day before Easter. we had him for at least 13 years. One of the best dogs ever! A big Tan/brown sweet lovable an excellent guard dog!
Rocky had cancer in his stomach. I'm sorry if this is weird. I just felt the need to share the memory of such a wonderful dog, with people I thought could really empathize! And truly understand the need to celebrate such a wonderful animal! And truly knowing the positive effect of great dog can have on your life.
I just watched your Drunk History dog show episode and it was a mixture of tears and happiness Rocky kind of reminds me of Lucy but way more muscular. Love your show love what you all do!💋
My dad has always told me and my brothers and my boys, college is so overrated it’s unreal. He knows plenty of people’s kids who have degrees/Masters and work as pizza delivery drivers and other basic jobs. It’s craziness!!!!
To have plants in a room with no windows, you can get UV plant bulbs from any hardware / home improvement store or section. They will keep your plants alive & healthy & the best part is the light is pink / purple & adds such a nice vibe to the room!
I was hoping you guys would cover this next! Btw, Janelle, you literally have the most gorgeous hair ever! You both are absolutely beautiful! Love you guys! 💗
I remember going to a private, all-girls college preparatory high school. The girls in my class would always brag about which schools they got into. I knew I would go to a good school, but I did not feel good about myself when they bragged about it. :(
And I feel the same way about standardized tests. I felt less bright when I took the SATs and the ACTs and received okay or not-so-great scores.
I graduated two years ago (in Canada) and haven't gotten a job related to what I studied. I guess I'll just be a server forever 🙃
I am graduating from college this May and the whole conversation about needing experience to get hired out of school but not having experience because you were just in school for FOUR YEARS was so comforting to me. Not to mention for people like myself who can’t afford to take summer internships bc you need to work full time to pay your own way through school. The system is definitely messed up and outdated. Anyway love you guys this was a great one!!
You guys are looking gorgeous today, and you guy’s podcast is a great end to my day for me living here in Sweden ❤️
I went to a high school in TX where people were very concerned where you went to school. Everyone tried to go out of state or to a big name/top tier university BUT I noticed that within a few years lots of them ended up transferring back home to go to local/state colleges. I went to a state school (Sam Houston State University-Eat ‘Em Up Kats!!) and loved every minute of it. Now finishing up my masters from another smaller university. I totally agree that people are more concerned with the image and reputation.
ALSO congrats on 50k y’all!!!!!🎉
During our 9th grade orientation our school put so much emphasis on the same senior project where you would have to write a paper, create a product and then present it in front of people. Me being painfully shy and extremely socially anxious at the time died internally when I heard this. Then we barely heard about it until my junior or senior year when they realized that we were never given time during school to work on it and it was never mentioned by our teachers. So they just let it go and I remember everyone being so relieved lol.
We had to do this at my high school in order to graduate. It was terrifying. Luckily I switched schools my senior year, but I cant imagine if I had to actually do it. I probably wouldn't of graduated 😆
They did the same thing my freshman year and then we heard about it junior yeah too, then coke senior year we spent all this time and work on it to not even have to do the presentation. I was so happy but I had gone through so much stress and anxiety because I too was painfully shy.
I love that y'all are checking in on the episodes, it makes it feel like y'all are my friend lol
The first thing i noticed was that both of you are glowing! So beautiful love you guys
I graduated with a Bachelors in Business from one of the 4 state schools we had in my state. But in high school we had a guidance counselor that would help us decide what "career path" we should take. I came from a family that didn't have a lot of money so he straight up said to me, "knowing your family you should just go to community College because you wouldn't make it at a 4 year school".... Well I applied to that 4 year college, got accepted, applied for scholarships and received them for my grades, and I graduated with my degree. And less than 1 year after graduating I had all my student loans paid off. So thanks for him doubting me cause I proved him wrong 🙌
YAYYY IVE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY, kept refreshing youtube 😭
SAME
I went to Yale and when this news broke I heard one of the students who was admitted as a soccer “player” left because her family was involved.
My little sister got into a car accident her freshman year and was in a literal coma for 1 week and then in the hospital for 1 month re-learning how to walk, talk, eat, etc.. Her school failed her in all 4 classes and she lost her financial aid. She is still paying out of pocket 1 class at a time so she can raise her GPA and get her financial aid back. Stories like this piss me off so much. ugh
I went to the Community College of Philadelphia. It had one of the toughest and most competitive programs in the area. Having changed my major and schools, I needed to be out working asap. I graduated in 2 years, debt free and very well prepared to start my first nursing job.
Love you gals! One of the highlights of my week is listening to The Sesh! Especially happy to listen outside in the sunshine on a beautiful spring day!!
Im feeling a tropical & flamingo vibe maybe hanging plants, a little like table top water fall thingy (if not too noisey)
I also instantly thought of a tropical theme for the sesh! I totally picture these beautiful women surrounded by palm trees and beach vibes just relaxing and talking story. I think it fits with the chill refreshing vibe of the podcast 🌴
Oooo I like that
@@TheSeshPodcast it would be super fun to take a bunch of comments and ideas you guys like and would use and make polls on Twitter or something and see the vibe! Like deciding on paint, furniture, etc! Love yall!!! Stay safe xox
The system is completely rigged. I felt similarly in high school and told myself I just wasn’t even going to try and go to college because I knew my mom’s debt to income ratio was effed from her going to school and she wasn’t in a position to help me. Shortly before graduating high school I found myself pregnant and what a blessing in disguise because through the loop hole of “becoming another statistic” (single black teen mom) I was able to receive good financial aid. BUT THE CATCH is that now I’m in massive amounts of debt and CANT find work anywhere since the pandemic. It’s just a joke and really makes people feel like crap about themselves and their choices. I worked my butt off to receive my bachelors of science, worked the whole time, raised my family, and graduated early all to not be able to find a decent paying job. I love you guys 🤎
thank you!!! i was about halfway thru kendall’s new video before it stopped loading and i was sooo sad because i hadn’t even noticed any errors, i was so into it !! but now i’m excited to see that video the way you wanted it to be seen, and now i have the sesh to get me thru until then💖 thank you ladies for always making my weekend 💜💜💜
When I was watching it it stopped and said that it was private
@@hilliardsmith1073 she tweeted that there were edits she wanted to make, and she didn’t want to leave it up and will repost in the morning!! i’m excited to watch after work 💜🎉
you guys are the best! ❤️ there’s nothing like swinging on my back porch watching the sesh, mile higher vlog’s, and true crime videos!
Listening while I take an exam for chill vibes. Never been so early and such perfect timing! Love y’all so much!😍💕
Yesss Sunday night sesh relaxes me so much 🥰 Kendall your hair looks gorgeous 😍
Absolutely love Jenelle’s hair as is but just throwing this out there she could definitely pull off curtain bangs like no other.
I have been waiting for my ladies to calm me down. It's Always my favorite way to end one week and begin a new one 💖🥰! Join Kendall and Janelle for the Sesh and I am completely 😊 Happy. Such few things bring joy to my heart these days. Thank You for the wonderful job my dear friends 💞💞💞I am sending you lots of love and positive vibes.💞💞💞💞💞💞
This show is like a breath of fresh air for me! My life has been a bit hectic and stressful lately and watching the sesh feels like hanging out with friends and shooting the shit about whatever comes to mind. I’ve been a long time viewer of Kendall and mile higher and I also watch lights out but the sesh is like taking a weekly mental health hour and I’m so happy about it! I love you ladies! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for pointing out that many community colleges are just as good as universities. My mother in law was a professor at both Gonzaga University and at Spokane Community College in Washington State. She actually preferred SCC to the university for a variety of reasons, including that the university paid her less than her male counterparts! I was shocked but it happens all the time and the public has no idea.
We need a lights out and the sesh mash up for one episode 🥺 it would be sooo funnnn
