Need Some Pop Culture & Daily Chat Tips!

Looking for Pop Culture and Everyday Chat Tips!

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student about to start my junior year in the States, and I’m both excited and a little anxious about fitting in. I’m studying art and have been drawing for over 8 years—I even took AP 2D Design this year! I love anime (like JoJo, Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan), gaming (especially Genshin Impact, Nintendo titles, Persona 5, and Ace Attorney), and I’m also into tennis and badminton. And I can’t forget my adorable sidekick, Pikachu, a 6-year-old border collie!

I’d really appreciate your recommendations for must-watch TV shows, music, and any pop culture essentials I should dive into. Also, what are some popular topics people typically discuss at school? Thanks in advance!
