Rice & Shine KMIH 88.9 The Bridge

In this episode, we chat about growing up and how our middle school days have shaped us. With the prospect of college looming, we ponder what life may have in store for us. 

As second semester seniors, the school year is winding down, but our brains aren't. In this episode we talk about toxic productivity and the culture of workaholism Mercer Island has created for us and how it will impact our futures. 

Inspired by the clickbait videos we used to watch when we were younger, we decided to make a less-clickbait version of the "How I Got Into College" video. We talk about our GPAs, standardized testing, do an essay reading, and give advice for both prospective college students and their supporters.

After months of stress, we have finally all committed to college and are proud to announce that Ava will be attending Stanford University, Sophie will be attending UC Santa Barbara, and Lauren will be attending New York University. Listen in to hear how we made our decisions and how we're feeling on the cusp of a new chapter in our lives.

Past the stress of college decisions, we sat down to play the game We're Not Really Strangers again with our new mindsets. The game prompted us to talk about how we really felt, our favorite childhood shows, unpopular opinions, and our anxieties around this upcoming chapter of our lives.

With college results back, Ava emcees a dating show (think The Bachelor x Love is Blind) where Lauren and Sophie speed-date their potential colleges. Listen in to hear the schools the two are leaning towards, and stay tuned to hear which school they end up committing to!
