Ep 1. Welcome to Class of Life

Hey there, and welcome to the very first episode of Class of Life— where we unpack growing up, one hallway at a time.I’m Pari, a soon-to-be high school senior, and I’m standing at the edge of the biggest transition of my life: college. But before I leap, I wanted to pause. To rewind. To open the scrapbook of moments, lockers, phases, and phases of life that led me here.From glue sticks in kindergarten, to awkward middle school dances, to the late-night high school breakdowns over AP exams, I’ve been through it all—and if you’re listening, maybe you have too.This podcast isn’t just about my memories. It’s about yours too. It’s a little time capsule of stories, truths, tips, and the occasional warning label. You know… like: don’t eat cafeteria sushi. Just trust me.Each episode, I’ll take you through a different stage of growing up—sometimes funny, sometimes messy, and sometimes quietly meaningful. You’ll hear the things I wish someone told me, and maybe find a little piece of your own story along the way.So whether you’re a middle schooler figuring things out, a high schooler in the thick of it, or someone just feeling a little nostalgic...welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.Let’s walk through this together—from kindergarten to college—one phase at a time.
