Pessimistic at Best

The Best Places to Cry on Campus

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!)College was a fever dream, a bunch of kids living in a pretend world, cosplaying as adults with meal plans, and it was awesome!!! Mickey and I jump on the podcast to chat about our freshman year floor (s/o Sellery 7A), navigating co-ed living and communal bathrooms, and the best places to cry on campus. Then it’s time for The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: getting your alderman involved, construction companies that have the audacity to wake you up on Sundays, and rehashing the Glen Powell drama from our last episode (with Lenny Kravitz also catching a few strays)Get silly with us on social:FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: @pessimisticatbestFacebook: @pessimisticatbestWebsite: pessimisticatbest.comFOLLOW SAMInstagram: @samgeorgsonTikTok: @samgeorgsonTwitter: @samgeorgsonYouTube: @samgeorgsonWebsite: samanthageorgson.comFOLLOW MICKEYInstagram: @mick_odonnellSupport the show

Is This Thing On?

Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!)Where do I begin? It’s been exactly eight months since I’ve blasted your eardrums with my microphone, and so many things have changed in such a short period of time. Some good, and some catastrophically bad, but of course, I don’t need to tell you that, just look outside!!!On the personal front: I quit my job, canceled my Hulu subscription, transferred my Spotify music library over to Tidal, started a business (insane), went to the cottage, and bought 3 new swimsuits. Watch out, world—here she comes!James and I take to our respective microphones this week to obsess over the new New York Times game, Crossplay, short-circuit over needlessly complicated passkeys (Google, seriously baby, what do you want from me!), and LOL at some of 2016's most regrettable trends.Get silly with us on social:FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: @pessimisticatbestFacebook: @pessimisticatbestWebsite: pessimisticatbest.comFOLLOW SAMANTHAInstagram: @samgeorgsonTikTok: @samgeorgsonTwitter: @samgeorgsonYouTube: @samgeorgsonWebsite: samanthageorgson.comFOLLOW JAMESInstagram: @daycatcher_TikTok: @daycatcherTwitter: @daycatcherYouTube: @daycatcherWebsite: daycatcher.netSupport the show
