The host of the radio show, "Anti-Social Butterfly," discusses the idea of anonymous responses and confessions. Listeners can submit their stories and questions anonymously through a Google form. The host's surprise guest joins in to discuss some of the responses, including the pressure on academically gifted kids, a high schooler's acceptance into a dream school, and a pet peeve about interrupting sentences. The host emphasizes the importance of being real and surrounding oneself with a supportive community. The segment ends with a sweet message of support from a listener. You're listening to WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina University student-run radio station. You're back on the Anti-Social Butterfly with your host, me, Macy Kay. So I did have a little last-minute surprise guest. She is not here right this very, very second. But I thought I would do the intro nevertheless, not hold you guys up, because we have got a lot today. I decided to do anonymous responses, anonymous confessions, Q&A, because one thing about having the Instagram polls and questionnaires up on my story is it's, you know, I get to see y'all's names attached. And what made me think of this was I was entrusted a very, very big secret. And, you know, it's like, you know, I don't know. So I'm just in kind of like a secret mood. You know, it had to do, you know, with, you know, confidants and all this, that, and the other. But my point is I was like, you know, I wish I had somebody to just vent what's going on to, because that's one thing about me being a mediator is sometimes I have a lot of knowledge, and I cannot just always dump it. And I was like, oh, like maybe listeners of the show feel the same way. Maybe there's something they want to talk about, but they don't want me to see their name attached to it. So I thought this was a really, really cool idea. If you have not already, you can go on my Instagram story at m-a-c-i-k-a-y-e.a. And it will take you to a Google form. And this form does not collect your e-mail or anything like that. It is fully anonymous. And even if you're a latecomer, you can still submit your stuff right now with the link on my story. I'm going to turn off responses probably about 4.30 just to give everyone a chance and just to make sure we touch bases on everything. I am so excited. On the next segment, we're going to have our guest step in. And, yeah, stay tuned right now. I know a lot of y'all are obsessed with the song. Here's Olivia Rodrigo. Stay tuned and chants up. You're listening to WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina University's student-run radio station. Okay, guys, that might be a little bit too loud for y'all. I have been trying to change the audio settings because I've heard a lot of people complain it's been, like, too low or too loud. So if anybody wants to give me feedback, how are we feeling? How are we doing? All right. But you're back listening to WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina University's student-run radio station. And like I said earlier, I have a surprise guest with me. Hi, it's me, Anna. She's back! Yay! We thought the last show was going to be it because she has class during this time. But you were able to jump in. Yeah. And, yeah, are you ready to dive into some anonymous responses? I sure am. Okay. Class has been canceled all week and canceled for a good reason. Oh, okay. The radio station. Yes, yes. For sure, for sure. So, guys, if you're listening to this on Spotify or you have just not gone into the response forum, let me read this off to you. So, I wanted to have a week where everyone can submit any story times, tea, pet peeve questions, or more for me to discuss on air. And, you know, therefore, Anna, since she's here. I wanted to do this for a good vent sesh and to talk real talk. So knock my socks off. You guys, I think some of these are juicy. Are you ready, Anna? I am. All right. So here. Okay. The pipeline of academically gifted kids to burnout is so real and brutal, especially if you're the oldest child. After years of self-pressure and pressure from your family, it's exhausting. And you're absolutely horrified of telling anyone because they have a perception of you that doesn't struggle. So that's just my two cents. I promise I did not write this, but I related to this so, so much as an older kid. What about you? Like, do you feel like you have pressures because you're an only kid? Honestly, this is kind of real. In a weird way, I think, like, a lot, I'm kind of the youngest in my family out of all the cousins. And, of course, like growing up, I was kind of close with my cousins. They were like my siblings. And I did feel the pressure, even as the youngest one, to be, like, the oldest. So I can see where that can be mutually, like, painful. Because if you're the oldest and you're setting the expectation, you're supposed to be keeping it all together. And the youngest doesn't see, like, the real you, you know. And so sometimes it can be painful on both sides. So I would encourage to be real and raw with your struggles, even despite of the painfulness of, like, you know, not wanting to be open and vulnerable about it. Because you have this set expectation to be so tough and bear all the weight of everything. And, yeah, you should surround yourself with friends. That's a good community. So always vent to them. And I know for me, it's like in high school you do so much. And then in college, if you're, like, in the honors program where you just pride yourself on good grades, you're just always chasing things. And then sometimes it's like, you know, sometimes you need rest. So be sure to get that rest. But just know we're here for you. Okay. We've got some tea here, too. Okay. This is from a high schooler. I got accepted into an arts college that I didn't even really apply for. The funny part is that's my biggest hater's dream school, and I just found out they got rejected. Even funnier since I'm ignoring that school to go to Coastal instead. Lol. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. There's some lore to this story. I know. I just, I don't know. That's a crazy cool thing on your end. I don't know. Did you ever have a hater in high school, like just somebody who did not like you for whatever reason? Yes. She was on the tennis team. Yeah, they would call me names and stuff. But to be honest, I kind of figured out why she hated me. Really? It was because of, like, something that stemmed from jealousy of, like, you know, certain things. And that's my case, too. The girl that was, like, my, like, arch nemesis or whatever or didn't really like me or was my rival or whatever you want to call it, a lot of it just stems from history and jealousy, you know? And I feel like, you know, once you leave high school, a lot of that just leaves itself behind. So, like, good for you for not being, like, spiteful and just going to that school just because, you know, and going to where you really want to go, which is CCU. So we're glad to have you. But that's crazy. And also, we are bound to not get along with everybody. True. That's one thing that I've realized is, you know, you're not going to be this person for everybody. But, you know, you'll find your tribe. And you're not going to get people pleased, but it's hard to please some people. You'll find your tribe. Yes. And it's, like, especially in high school, it's just a small little sample size. And I promise, college is so much bigger than high school. So you'll find your group. But I think that's still a funny story. Nevertheless. Okay. Somebody decided to share a pet peeve. My pet peeve is someone who interrupts or finishes my sentences for me. What's your stance on that? Honestly, I think it's kind of cute when people, like, know what I'm about to say. When they're accurate, right? When they're accurate. I'm like, oh, you know me so well. Like, you can read my thoughts. I think it's kind of sweet sometimes. But at the same time, it depends on the context. If it's, like, in a group setting, I don't think it's necessarily as appropriate. But I can understand because, like, I sometimes stumble on that. And I love, like, knowing, like, what my friends are about to say. I'm like, I know you so well. I know you so well. But I keep it to myself. And sometimes I'll just smile. Yeah. I think for me, it's like when you're in the position where somebody's finishing your sentences, sometimes it's like you either notice or you don't. It's like you said. They're on the ball. They know you so well. They get it right. And it's not a problem. But if they don't, it's like it can be a little bit of a peeve. But I know for me, I have ADD. So, for me, it's like my way of showing that I am involved in the conversation. And sometimes I can't hold back. It's just a sporadic thing. And I had a talk with somebody who I will not mention. Or, like, names, too. But we were talking. And this person was like, I never realized how much I interrupted people until, like, I was told by somebody that I needed to, like, stop doing it as much. And I feel like on the outside, it's so much easier to note than when you're the one doing it. And that's something I need to improve on personally. But I don't know. No, I totally agree. It's like if I know you well enough, you're welcome to finish my sentences for me. I really don't care. I think it's to each their own. Especially when we don't know what we're about to say next. Where was I going with this? Can you help me? Yeah, it keeps you on your toes. It's like, I don't want to say stimulating. That's not really the word I'm looking for. Would you say it's kind of like wordle a little bit? Yes, oddly enough. I think it's just trying to play and fiddle around with stuff and be like, okay, what's the right combination? And all that. Speaking of fiddler, I have a little fiddler crab drawn on me from Koinonia. It's a crab that I was a part of on Monday. So I fiddle in around. Crazy, actually. That's my ADD for you. Yes, ma'am, of course. And we have a little bit of time for one more. Somebody sent this, and I thought it was very, very sweet, so I feel like I have to read it. Just wanted to let you know, I think you're doing absolutely amazing, and I'm always so, so, so proud of you. Heart emoji. And I'm so proud to call an amazing woman like you my friend. I'm so glad we became closer through the years. I love you so, so dearly, Macy. I have a suspicion that's from you. Just a smirk. But either way, regardless if it's you or not, I want to say whoever sent that, thank you. Y'all all keep me going. I would have never had the courage to be on this show or podcast if it wasn't for inspiring people like you that motivate me each week and listen consistently or just whenever you have time. I know a lot of people have classes, but it's very, very sweet. It kind of ties in where we started this segment on having a good community. Have people that lift you up, inspire you. And with that being said, I have your love by blessing a fur, so stay tuned and chomps up. You're listening to WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina University's student-run radio station. Yes, ma'am, Anna LaPorte. We were talking off air, and apparently the message that I ended on about the nice message from me was not from Anna, but it's from one of you guys. So I want to say thank you. Love y'all. Apparently Anna had sent, you are an amazing bestie. Thank you, Anna. I don't know. I feel like sometimes, and I know you're a very extroverted person, so maybe you relate, maybe you don't. But I feel like sometimes if I don't necessarily communicate with you as often or I'm to myself, that doesn't mean I don't care for you. So sometimes when I hear messages like that, it's like, I don't know who says that, but it's so nice of them. Like, I wish I could do more, but sometimes it's not my personality. Sometimes if I'm distancing myself from you, sometimes that's a bigger compliment. I don't know how my brain works, but my point is, regardless of who this is, I want you to know I care. I care for all of you guys. Macy, are you saying that you send mixed signals to people? Yeah, that's exactly what it is. You're causing my turmoil in my mind. I'm like, oh, they hate me. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's not like that. You know what I mean. But I'm being real. Like, for me as an extrovert, I love it when people reach out to me a lot and say, like, thoughtful things. I love it when they're like, I saw this and I thought of you. Or they just sent me, like, something random. But, like, if you cut off all contact with me for, like, a good little period, I'm going to think, wow, I'm really not important to them. Well, for me, it's like my love language, it's like personal, like, what do you call it, quality time is like sending TikToks to someone. Yes. It's like little moments. It's like I'm thinking of you. Like, I don't have necessarily, because I'm just bad at sometimes starting small talk, you know, with people. And so my point is, regardless, I love you all. Message me, please. If you message me, I'll respond, please. Okay. But, anyways, diving into more of the stuff. Oh, people got some good stuff this week, okay. Recently, there's been this guy that keeps messaging me in a weird, invasive, flirtatious manner, but I'm not really sure how to approach it. Okay. You give single girl advice, I'll give couple relationship advice. What would you do if you were a single girl and this guy is hitting on you out of the blue? Like, too much. Because this has personally happened to me. I would, I struggle with this, y'all. Like, my thing is I just, like, don't talk to them and just pray, like, they will stop talking to me. I'm not the type of person to block someone other than, okay, so my roommate, she would say, block him. Don't talk to him no more. Shout out, Shannon. I love you. And I feel like, you know, sometimes that can be valid, but, like, it's just, like, I think everyone deserves a chance in a way to be, like, a good person. So I don't know necessarily what I would do in that situation. I would just probably not talk to him. Yeah. I feel like sometimes, though, even if you give people time. Do not lead him on. Yeah. Like, even if you give people time, sometimes they won't change. But, yeah, don't lead them on. It depends on, I mean, I don't know the extent of how this guy is. But, I mean, if you are in a relationship and this guy is, like, flirting with you, let me tell you my rule of thumb. I will always, in a nonaggressive manner, bring up my boyfriend. And it's like if a guy is trying to hit on me and I am like, oh, yeah, that's so nice of you. Well, this weekend I went to my boyfriend's house and we had this date and all that. And just like what you said, and then I'll compare it back to the conversation. You know, still be polite where it's not, you know, I'm just being a butt being like, oh, like dangling in front of your face. But just kind of in a very nice nonaggressive manner just, you know, put that out there. Go ahead. I was going to say one thing that I've heard personally is that dudes like it, especially if they're flirting with you and they're asking you out on a date. And you just don't, you like them as a friend, but, like, at the same time you don't want to date them. They'd rather you just say no than you, like, sugarcoat it with, oh, you're such a good blah, blah, blah, you're so good. You know, dudes like it more, like, straightforward because, you know, it's just still, to me, it also is just still leading them on. So if this guy is, like, still reaching out to you and if he is actually being, like, trying to take you out on a date, sometimes you just got to say no. Yeah, and I feel like a lot of girls, because of books, think that it's all about the chase. You know, that if you play hard to get, the guy is going to chase and it's, like, romantic and stuff. But a lot of guys don't like to be let on, for that matter. And it's, you know, I feel like a lot of girls get these expectations for what's going to happen. And I don't think this is the case to this particular submission, but I think some girls do have that. So my point is if you know he ain't it and he's not respecting your time, you know, sometimes you have to block or just remove yourself. You know, respect for yourself, respect for that person. Do you have any last thoughts on that one, Anna? I'd say it's always, even if it's, like, you know, pushing too many boundaries, it depends on the level of boundaries being pushed. I think it's okay to just be chill with them, like, you know, but, like, respectfully say no. Yeah. You know, be like, hey, I'm actually not interested in you, but I can still be friends with you, you know. And it's weird, too, kind of with that, you know, like a work relationship. Like, not necessarily a relationship, but, like, people in the workplace, if this is going on in the workplace, like, that's a big problem. Have you ever had an experience with work how it's, like, a coworker kind of overstepping boundaries? Yeah. Like, if that's the case, I don't know, talk to, like, your higher ups. Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it, but sometimes you just got to tell people. But with that, let's go on to this one. Where do I want to go? Where do I want to go? Okay. Sometimes I get this urge to stalk certain people to see what they're up to in their life, especially if I'm not on a close basis with them. If that isn't the truest thing I've heard in a hot minute, oh, my gosh. I'll just be, like, not necessarily, like, my super close friends, but people, like, I'm borderline friends with. It's like, oh, we, like, touch base every so often. You best believe I'm stalking their Instagram. I'm knowing everything that's going on with their relationships, their family. Like, it's not good. I was about to say that sounds like you. No, no. It sounds like Melanie Doris. That's what it sounds like. Oh, no. Okay. So, in our family, we have Melanie and Will, like my dad. They're, like, the detectives, and I would even put my grandpa, my deity, on that list because he's stalking our life through 60s. Only difference is deity only cares about what's going on in our family and our driving and our speed records and stuff like that. But Melanie and Will, if you tell them just one name and about where they live, they can give you every single thing that they've ever been involved. It's crazy. So, for me, it's like I'm not on that extent. It's like, oh, if you need help looking up something, I have sources. I kind of know how to do it. But I don't do it as drastically as some people, cough, cough. I don't know if my family's to that extent, but my mom and my dad, my dad would be like, there's this cute boy that I met. And I, like, will be like, well, how old is he? And immediately they're like, oh, I know because I looked up here, here, and here that he's this age and this is when his birthday is. Yeah. But, like, I think they personally, like, they don't go into, like, a deep dive. They'll be like, oh, I just checked his Facebook. I know, but you can still find so much off of Facebook. Like, you don't have Facebook. You wouldn't know. But there's, like, it gives, like, your workplace, like where you went to school, da, da, da. I'm telling you, if y'all, like, cyber security type stuff, I think that might be the term in this case, y'all gotta be careful what y'all post. There was a trend for the longest time that was, like, it was on Instagram, too. It was all these Instagram people, not even, like, these Facebook moms doing it. But it was, like, oh, my height, my hair color, like, where I go to the most often. And it was literally, like, a record for anybody who wanted to talk to you or try to get, like, holds of you has all that information public just because it was, like, a trend post. And so my point of saying all that is y'all need to evaluate what is and what is not worth putting publicly on the Internet. Oh, for sure. Like, personally, like, I think my kids one day, I don't want them to have their faces on Facebook. I would be putting my heart over that baby's face. Yeah. Especially with AI. That, I've learned so much about AI in my classes. And I just, I don't want my child to be deep faked. You know, if they grow up and they're, like, I want to be on social media, sure. Like, I'll still take photos of them. But I don't think I want to post a single photo of them, like, without a little heart. Like, that sounds, like, so cheesy. And I know I'm not a celebrity or anything. But everyone's going to think, oh, it only happens to the celebrities until they get you, you know. Like, you know, if you want to see what my baby looks like, see it in real life. Yeah. You know, you can share it in the family group chat. You know, like, I just, social media, it's hard times right now. But with that being said, you guys, speaking about hard times, Morgan Wallen, he got locked up or something by the policemen. Whoa. Yeah, for throwing a chair off of a six-foot story, like, outside bar or something like that. So with that being said, you guys, I have Ernest and Morgan Wallen with Flower Shops. I hope you enjoy. You're listening to WCPU Radio, Coastal Carolina University student-run radio station. It's the both of us again. So we have more responses. I kind of saved this for the last segment because I kind of have a little story time with this one. Not really, but just a little something. Okay. This person says, girl, someone needs to explain to me why liars think it's okay and are shocked when the truth comes out and acts as a victim. Like, hun, you lied and did this to yourself. Don't be standing there like, OMG, when the truth comes out. It's just so crazy how liars lie to themselves about the dang lies. I don't get it. Anyways, that's my event of the day. Liars suck, and karma will bite them back eventually. Sideways smiley face. So my thing is, like I said, I kind of have a story time for this. So I know exactly what you mean because I was kind of like a rule follower, like, as a kid because I was like, you know, you do what's right, and if you're doing it wrong, like, shame. And there's this one girl who, throughout my years, I had consistent networks with, and we had a lot of the same people around us, and she would always lie about all the stuff. And this is not me saying this because I forgive it, but this is just solely to put us on the same level. She would lie about so much, saying that she had a band, and they made $2,000, and they did a tour of this. And I wanted to be an author for the longest time. I love writing. And she was, you know, she would just say things to try to make friends, but it really wouldn't work out for her. So she would say stuff like, oh, yeah, I published a book. Or she's like, yeah, I made a book, and it's, like, gotten so many thousand sales and stuff. And I was, like, a witty kid back then. I was like, who's your publisher? This is, like, in first or second grade. I was so proud of myself, though. My point is, eventually, once people do that so often, the people around them find out and don't really want to be friends anymore. And that's exactly what happened to her. And this person just, you know, is kind of off the face of the earth just, you know, because of, you know, embarrassment or just things coming back around, you know. And I honestly feel so sad for this girl. So I feel like some of it is, like, putting yourself in their shoes for why they wanted to do it. And at the end of the day, that girl was super lonely. She just wanted friends. And I'll tell you a little story time. This is something that still haunts me, especially as a kid. So there was one time I really, really lied. I was very competitive when I was in fifth grade, okay, very competitive. We had an Easter egg hunt at this farm, okay. I can't believe I'm admitting this on air, but it chewed me up as a kid. But what happened was it was, like, an egg scavenger hunt. And all across this farm, there was hints, and we would go to where it was. Well, what happened was one of the eggs, it was, like, it was a girls versus boys. So the girls would have, like, pink-colored eggs, and they would have to find them and leave the ones for the boys. Well, I wanted us to win because I was very competitive. So I re-hid one of the boys' eggs. And then the people who was running it, they were like, oh, the boys can't find their egg. And they, like, searched it for, like, ten minutes, eventually found it. They were like, what are you girls, switch it. And one of these other girls snitched on me. But in my head, I tell you, this is not good. This is, like, you know, like, hormones. Like, you know, you're getting to that age in, like, fifth grade. And I was like, you know, they're going to believe me. Like, nobody's ever, I've never had a reason for anyone to doubt me. So I was like, no, I didn't, I didn't do that. That was snitched. And I felt so, so guilty. And I was like, you know what, I'm never having another Easter egg competition with this group. I'm going to get sick next year. And I felt guilty about it my whole life. And that was more of a selfish reason. But my point is, people turn from their ways sometimes. But it's good to evaluate the reasoning behind it. Because mine was a very not-so-good reason. But the other girls, even though she was more consistent and all that, hers was a good reason, a better reason. Does that make sense, what I'm trying to say? And I do, like, have to say, like, all lies are, you know, I feel, like, universally bad. Yeah, of course. Like, don't lie. That's not the point of these stories. But I think it's, like, what you're trying to say is the impact of it was, like, less drastic, you know, towards the people. So I understand that sometimes, like, quote, unquote, liars, it's, like, a one-time thing. And, like, people mess up. That's a harsh reality. We are all learning stuff. But it's good to evaluate the intentions behind it. Because even if somebody does a bad thing, if you understand the intention for why it's there in the first place, you can kind of start to love that person. You know, or if they feel, like, guilt or repentance or whatever. I always think that's a good route to start. I don't know. That's a big topic, though. That's one that I struggle with. Not struggle with, but, like, struggle comprehending sometimes just why people do things in general. Do you have any thoughts to add on to that? Because I know that's, like, a heavy-loaded, like, vent. Yeah, I just, I do sympathize, though, with you, like, talking about how, you know, people lie and stuff like that. How it can be just very aggravating sometimes. And sometimes pointless. What did you say? Sometimes even pointless. Yeah, and it can be aggravating to deny, like, that you lied, you know, even once you're caught red-handed. Nobody ever caught me for the Easter egg hunt. Let's put that out there. But my point is, too, is even if you're not caught, you can also feel that guilt. Yeah. So maybe that person is feeling guilty. So you never know what the heart is behind it, too. And also, also, like, remember, sometimes people were raised differently with different morals. Some people were not taught that lying is wrong. And so even if they're not guilty about it, I mean, we all face consequences. I mean, y'all know that I'm Christian, and so I think you can apply this moral in other ways. But it says that, like, revenge or justice is God's to do. And so even if you believe in karma or anything like that, my point is there will be consequences naturally. So just sometimes let things be, and they'll resolve themselves out. And I would like to add to that that your tongue, meaning, like, the words that you speak can be very powerful and detrimental to other people. Yeah. That's the thing. At least in this past week, I've realized how crude sometimes my humor can be towards other people, at least in my opinion. Like, my humor, especially I feel like when I'm close enough with you, I can pick on you a little bit more in a fun way. But sometimes too much of it can be too much, and it can be offensive. So just thinking through what you say to people. Yeah. Yeah. Especially the long-term consequences that encompass it, you know. Yeah, and especially when it comes to lying. Yeah. We have one more. So somebody submitted, let me try to find it. I told this guy that he smelled really good and what cologne he was wearing. Turns out he wasn't wearing any cologne. It was just his natural musk. Oh. Whoa. That is so real. I feel like this is kind of an important detail, but in this it puts their history. So whether or not she even liked this person. I'm assuming it's just she, just because, you know, but who knows. Yeah. So my point is, I'm telling you, pheromones are something crazy. I don't know. Don't tell me about it, because like, oh, man. I feel like that's just a natural biological way, though, to be just like, I don't know, because I have a really strong sense of smell, so I can smell, like, yeah, I'm like, oh. I can't really smell things, but when it comes to like sometimes scent, if I'm like close enough to you, I can. So like with Rhett, I can, even if he has cologne on or not, I can just like smell him. And I think that's a crazy like biological cool thing that like people can do, you know. It is pretty neat. Yeah, I don't know. It's so funny, because I'll be walking past people on campus, and they might have their perfume or like fragrance just super strong, and I just want to turn around, and I just want to be like, you know, which one do you use? Because I'm not a big, what do you call it, perfume person, because I don't know what all is out there. I just kind of get what I smell at the store, and like, oh, yeah, this will do. I like this. But it's, I don't know. It's just so cool. But now I will be careful not to even think to talk to them, because it might just be their natural mask. New fear unlocked. Like, get your natural mask away from me. I don't want it anymore. Get your musky self away. Yeah. Because I like it. I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. I don't even know if I can say that on air, you guys. Just whatever. Is that a song? Yeah, it is. Have you never heard it? Fun fact, I hear Macy say things like all the time, but I pick up on her saying, so sometimes I won't even know where they're coming from. That's too much. It's way too much. That's one of the phrases. But yeah, I don't know. My point is, you guys, I have enjoyed y'all sticking around. We might have a couple more. I'm going to leave the responses open for the ending, because like, we still have enough time. If you want to submit a late one, go right ahead. I turned the responses back on. I think that covered all of them. Let me look real quick. No, there's one more. Okay. I dislike when people disrespect God or say his name in vain. Valid. Yeah. So it's hard for me, because I'll listen to songs like, for instance, Olivia Rodrigo's Obsessed. I like that song. Good radio song. But for music, sometimes it just goes over my head, like completely. And that's something I'm trying to work on. But in conversation, it sticks out like a sore thumb. And that bugs me, too, because it's like, you know, we're kind of at a day and age where people are trying to be more understanding and tolerant of whether it's like your race, your sexuality, your religion, like just, you know, the whole university policies and stuff. And I feel like sometimes people, regardless of the circumstance, don't even realize how the small things can stand out. But I think it's also important to remember that, you know, from a Christian standpoint, which one I do have and I will always, like, talk about, it's like, you know, some people don't know any better. A lot of them don't know God personally, you know, or really understand that. So just coming through it with a point of love, I think, too. Yeah. And I also, I find it very interesting that you said that, and I've only heard several other people say this, but the fact that, you know, music kind of like the lyrics goes right over your head, I feel like that's how it was for me as a kid. But now that I've gotten older, I definitely listen to music and listen to the lyrics a lot more in-depthly, like wanting to understand the, I appreciate the lyrics more now than just the actual sounds. And I know a good, I think maybe you and one other friend that definitely just listened to it for just the sounds. I do. It sounds nice. Yeah. And I realized because of how powerful music is, it can, for me at least, I just have had to cut out certain music and try not to listen to certain music because of the language in it. Yeah. And I've been at that kind of point in my journey, too. Just, I've been trying to be more intentional about listening to lyrics, but sometimes that takes me listening to a song like 10 times before I'm like, oh, that's what it says, or I'll have to read the lyrics along. I'm not saying I've cut out this secular quote-unquote music or anything completely, but just being intentional about what is going into your heart. Yeah. I feel like that's, just with anything, I will say that's one of the biggest guides to happiness, I would suggest, regardless if you are a Christian or not, is a lot of times if you surround yourself with bad people, you're going to feel bad. You're going to feel bad if you surround yourself with bad music, or sometimes it can increase those emotions sometimes if you're engaging with it. So regardless of your viewpoints of life, I just want to suggest that, too. It's at least been really helpful to me lately. I've been feeling less bad. Even though I wasn't paying attention to those lyrics, I feel like it would still impact me emotionally, and I think that's something worth anyone to consider. You're so right, because you've actually, Macy is really a great friend. Thank you. She called me out on this recently, but it was in a loving way, but I love listening to romantic music. Oh, I forgot about that. Continue. It's borderline romantic, but also sometimes it's too much, and sometimes it's a little bit, but it's actually there. I just love music like that, but if I listen to too much of it, I can honestly get sad because I'm single, and so listening to that kind of music, I can take away from its appreciation by focusing too much on it, and I'll realize it does affect me at the end of the day. So I've got to have a fair balance of different kinds of music that I listen to. Yeah, and for me, I have the same thing, but in a different way. For me, I have to sometimes limit romantic music, or Pinterest especially, because Rhett and I are long distance. Sometimes it makes me really sad and miss him so, so much more because I'm focusing on, oh, there's these pretty photos of this couple, and there's a family photo, and I just want him here right now. Sometimes even something that's good can be bad in a moment just depending on the situation, and one thing that, kind of going with what you said, it's like I've noticed this. I have not wanted to make a post about this or say anything because this, I think, would call out a lot of people, and right now I don't feel like I'm comfortable enough to do so, but there have been so many people all across social media who are just idolizing or obsessed with boyfriend significant others, the idea of marriage, idea of a relationship, and because some people, I will just look at every, not in a stalking way, but on social media it promotes it. See what they're engaged with or what they're reposting or sharing, and it's all just about how perfect and such and such this person is and all that. I'm just like, I don't know, maybe that's a part of maturity too, but it's just, I don't know. You're so right. You have to know, for instance, our friendship, yes, you're an amazing friend, but I know you're not perfect. I know you're going to mess up, and I don't hold that to you, but I don't think it's healthy to idolize anyone. It's harmful, and I just see these people so obsessed in this area, and I'm like, you're going to get hurt. I hate to see it from the outside, but I'm just an observer at the end of the day because sometimes when you try to call people out, sometimes they get rebellious or something like that, and so it's like, I don't know. That's just my vincesse. If you post something like that, I will too because honestly, I've been on the other side of the story where I've been posting about people, and I'm like, I'm obsessed with this person. They're amazing. They're perfect. They're everything that I could ask for more, and then literally people will let you down, and so I personally have struggled with idolizing people. I literally talked about that this past week, and that's a part of my testimony, and so it would be hard for them to hear, but be good. Yeah, but it's hard for me too because it's like I am in an established relationship, and don't get me wrong. We all struggle with idolizing people versus loving them sometimes, and it can get to a point where it's bad, so I don't want it to ever be like, oh, well, I'm in a relationship, and I'm dissing you because all that. I just don't want to be a, quote unquote, a hypocrite or perceived as one, but I don't know. That's something that's kind of been on my heart, but I don't necessarily feel to a point where I just need to insert my opinion. I kind of did a little bit. I don't want to say passive aggressively, but there was this video that had come up on my For You page, and it made me think kind of of it, and I reposted it because I was like, you know, it's worth me to hear. I can get stuff from it. Other people can too. I'm not in a place of judgmentalness or anything like that, but my point is, you guys, knowing the intention, very, very good, looking at yourself, looking at others, and coming at it at a place of love. It's always a really good thing to do. With that said, you guys, we have Genesis Invisible Touch. Looks like this is a DJ version, so DJ Invisible Touch by Genesis. What's the...oh, Dr. Giggle Touch. I love Dr. Giggle Touch. Did you say Dr. Giggle Touch? Dr. Giggle Touch. Y'all need to look that up if y'all haven't. I love that. But anyways, Genesis coming up. Stay tuned. Sean's up. You're listening to WCC Radio, Coastal Carolina University's student-run radio station. You're back with Macy Kay and Anna LaPorte. Oh my gosh. So I know last time we were like, oh yeah, this is the final show we're gonna do together. And then we have this episode. It was a great surprise. God said I had a plan. For real. God's plan. Oh yeah. I heard that in a hot minute. For a minute I was just like, what? But in all seriousness, this is probably gonna be our last episode together, because I think next week is last week for shows. Wow. I think. So that's like so bittersweet. That's so sad. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I really enjoyed the anonymous questions. I feel like this is one of the good things that we could do before I graduate. I really liked it. Maybe I'll incorporate it next week. I do have a guest lined up for next week, if all stays on schedule. So y'all will have me plus another. Her. A good, I think, conclusion to the show. Ending. But yeah. It's been a bittersweet one. Yeah. It's a sweet one. I don't know that reference at all. Which one? Who sings that? Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um. It's not like a who sings it. It's like a... Who all sings it? Like a band? It's a ad. Diet Dr. Pepper. Oh. I think. Yeah, it's a sweet one. I'm not a Dr. Pepper fan. I feel like everyone is either the biggest fan of Dr. Pepper or the biggest hater. I'm one of the biggest haters. Wow. Haters in the building. I think I like, I like Dr. Pepper. But I'm not particular with any sodas. I like lemon flavored stuff. So I'm a Sprite gal and starry. Oh, wow. You're so different. I'm just kidding. Um, I don't know. I used to always drink Sprite when I was sick. So every time I drink Sprite I feel like I'm sick. That's like me with ginger ale. Though I do love ginger ale still. Yeah. And I feel like lemon stuff. I used to love, love like lemonade. Especially pink lemonade. I went through this big pink and purple phase. Oh, do you know what's like the saying of like being a pink girl or a purple girl is? No, but I'm a purple girl. You're a purple girl. I'm a purple girl too. But I have so much respect for the pink girls. Like, you know, do you get it? No, I don't. I'm out of the loop. Okay. I would have to like educate you with this off air because we're running close to time. But basically the pink girls are kind of like your Instagram influencer type. Like they look like really perfect. Like they get their hair all done. They're like super itinerary based. You know, they're like kind of like the, in a way, like the moms of the group when it comes to like planning and scheduling. Okay, okay. Like they're kind of your OCD people. I mean, I guess I can be that way occasionally. No, no, no. Wait until I tell you the purple. The purple is more like your spontaneous, creative, kind of a little bit like different, but like in a unique kind of way, not like in a. Are you calling me different? In like a complimentary way. Oh, you see, I'm pulling my hair behind my ears. Yeah. The Debbie Ryan just. Yeah. Like glazed, like layering up just. Yeah, but my point is like we're purple girls, you know. But I feel like everyone went through a phase where they experimented whether or not they were a pink or purple girl. You know, because like I was a pink girl. And then once I got into like third grade, I was like, I'm actually a purple girl. Purple is everywhere. You're so wrong. I'm a green girl. But I still like my pink lemonade and my pink bow and arrow, you know. Oh, yeah. You just had to be there. Had to be there. Had to be there. Or be square. Be there, be square. But with that being said, you guys, we're running close on time. Thank you for everyone who tuned in and did a response. I really love you guys. Even if you couldn't listen, I very much appreciate all this. We had some tea. So with that being said, I'll see you guys next week. Toodaloo! Chants up! Chants up!
