Hi everyone. Welcome or welcome back to call your friends. I'm your friend Lauren and today I'm

joined with. Mare. And Maddie is not on the podcast this week. Maddie did a solo episode last week and I believe

she filled you guys in on where she is, what she's up to. But this week,

it's just me and my mom in L.A. So we figured we would do a little advice episode. We asked

you to leave us some topics that you want advice on and we're just kind of going to be discussing

them in general and then, I don't't know people didn't leave very specific questions

they just wanted to know about topics as a whole like boys or school whatever so we're

going to delve in a little see where the conversation takes us but before we do that would you

like to start with a little life update this is something that we do on the podcast. I can start us off.

Okay. It's been a few weeks since I recorded last. And since then I've just been at school,

there hasn't been much going on because it is midterm season. So I've kind of just been studying a lot,

but I had three midterms last week, and it was the

first time I had a real exam season since I was in, like, grade nine. But it went well. I'm

starting to get my midterm marks back, and she killed it. She killed it. Thank you. So, yeah,

happy to have those out of the way, but I feel like the next few weeks

will be fun and hopefully a little bit chill since it has been so stressful over the past few weeks.

And then March break is coming up very, very quickly. And I think we're planning on going away.

Yes, we are. You guys, I'm sure we'll hear more about that. But what have you been up to, Mom?

Well, at the end of January, I went to visit a friend of mine who lives in Marco Island.

Florida.

Florida, yeah.

She's a friend from Toronto that is a snowbird.
