There was a lot of vulnerability in this episode and I like that it was highlighted here because of that that element they were able to support each and show up as a community. And that’s the basis of forming lasting friendships in high learning environments. It felt so real, loved it.

I love how this episode highlighted the anxieties that come with being a artist for each one. It was interesting that their biggest fears was not for audience that will be seeing their work but each other in the club.
