About this listen
College Speaks is a UNLV student podcast diving into social media culture, TikTok addiction, dating apps, hard launching relationships, and what it means to be authentic online in 2026. In this episode, the hosts debate whether Thursdays are the new Fridays, unpack Instagram vs. TikTok identity, and discuss how social media shapes modern college relationships.
From screen time confessions to the TikTok ban panic, this episode captures how Gen Z navigates digital life — including influencer culture, AI tools like Grok, deleting Instagram for mental clarity, and the social pressure of posting your boyfriend online.
Topics Covered:
- Hard launching your relationship on Instagram
- Social media breaks: do they actually work?
- TikTok vs. Instagram Reels engagement
- AI in everyday scrolling (Grok, ChatGPT summaries)
- Online persona vs. real-life identity
- Meeting your boyfriend on TikTok
- Dating apps vs. meeting in real life
- Is Thursday the new Friday on campus?
College Speaks features UNLV journalism students discussing real campus culture, relationships, digital identity, and student life.
