Hey guys, what's up? Welcome or welcome back to the podcast. We're your friends, Maddie

and Lauren. And we're back for another episode. This is our second episode today. If we're wearing

the same clothes, which we are, if you notice that, this is why. Because we're batch recording,

because Lauren is a USC student now.

I have to get back to work.

So actually, we just recorded an episode all about her experience so far in the last two weeks at USC.

So go back to last week's episode and listen to that because that was a good and informative episode, I would say.

Yeah, I would say it was a pretty comprehensive life update for me as well.

So maybe we can start off with your life update and talk about what you've been doing while I've

been at school.

What have I been doing?

Well, our mom was here.

Both of our parents were here.

Then our dad left, then our mom here. Both of our parents were here. Then our dad left,

then our mom left, then our siblings left yesterday. Then I came home. Then Lauren came home.

So I actually have not been alone. But I feel like when mom and dad were here, it was like

vacation mode. Like they wanted to go out for dinner a lot. We were not, I was like working, but it

didn't seem like real life.

Yeah.

Do you agree?

Yeah.

Well, I also stopped working for you.
