This week, Ava is joined by her fellow senior, photography enthusiast, and Waffle House co-conspirator, Taylor Stancil. As they navigate the confusing "finish line" of senior year at Eugene Ashley High School, the duo dives into the chaos of college decisions, niche hobbies, and the existential dread of becoming an adult.

Taylor opens up about her plans to attend UNC Charlotte (maybe?) to pursue Nursing, with a specific dream of working in Pediatrics. She shares how her summers spent at camp sparked the passion for her future career. Plus, we debate the best fast food, discuss unique music taste, and reveal our secret past as... Hobby Horsing champions? (Without a horse name, of course).

Whether you're stressing about the future or just need a laugh, this episode is for you.
