The Stratus League Podcast

The Nature Cloud

We love nature! Going outside helps us decompress, relax, and enjoy ourselves. Especially during a time when so many people are frequently indoors and on screens, the outdoors is a great way to improve your mental, physical, and spiritual health. Join us as we discuss how nature positively impacts our daily lives but also special occasions like traveling! Also, happy Earth Day!

The Food Cloud

In honor of National Eating Awareness Week, we wanted to share our relationships with food. Listen about Lily’s journey to veganism, and Lauren’s association of food with culture and tradition. We view food as something that keeps us happy and healthy, while also being the core of socialization and many childhood memories.

The Journalism Cloud

Listen to two aspiring journalists talk about their best interview and research experiences, favorite podcasts and news sources, and more! We believe in journalism’s power to connect and unify people all across the world. Join the Stratus League community!

The Happiness Cloud

From spending quality time with friends, to giving back to the community, to eating healthy, there are multiple ways to make the most of each day. In this episode, we will be reflecting upon “14 Things That Make You Happy and Enjoy Life More” from LifeHack and share the personalized ways that we accomplish each one of these items on the list. Strive to be your happiest self!

The Music Cloud

Don’t worry! In this episode about music, we will not be singing the entire time but instead reminiscing about our most valuable experiences with music. We will reflect upon our first encounters with a string instrument, the important people we have met during our musical journey, and the life lessons that we have learned from being in an orchestra.

The Education Cloud

The ultimate educational experience involves learning both inside and outside of the classroom. As students, not only should we take advantage of our education at school but also our education through interactions with different people, hands-on experiences, and self-teaching. Join us to relive the moments when we felt the most educated and the moments when we felt the most grateful for our education.

The Time Cloud

For many, the definition of using time wisely is doing something “productive,” such as working or studying. But to overemphasize the constant need to keep busy takes away from the enjoyment of doing “unproductive,” but just as valuable, activities, such as coloring or baking. Join us as we share our personal journeys with time management and the struggles of frequent screen time.

The Quote Cloud

Join us as we share our favorite quotes from Henry Thoreau, to Jhumpa Lahore, to Pablo Picasso. Quotes are an effective way for people from the past and present to communicate their knowledge, and it is our responsibility to internalize and interpret these lessons. Learn about why these quotes about humility, self-identity, and more resonate with our specific lives, but also their value in society as a whole.

The Future Cloud

Ask any high schooler about their future plans, and they will almost always talk about college. But the stress around college applications is representative of more than just getting accepted. College admission to many teens is crucial to their future careers and the fulfillment, financial success, and enjoyment that hopefully comes with their jobs. Join us as we evaluate how to go about achieving a dream future and how to balance happiness in the present as well as the future.

The Language Cloud

Join us as we explore how the different languages we speak impact our education, community belonging, and international travel experiences. Let’s evaluate the power of language to unify and divide and how this power has influenced our personal lives.
