Season 1 · 2026

First year, first season,
all the episodes.

Season 1 encapsulates the fear, excitement and doubt that comes with starting college. These episodes were recorded right after Morgan finished her freshman year at ASU.

Each episode dives into the details of a different aspect of college. Whether it's housing, classes, money, or nightlife, we break down the modern college experience together as a dad and daughter.

EP. 03

Activities

19:35

Between classes, extracurriculars, and events, burnout is more likely to happen than you think. Try to find some work/life balance; it's a process, but it's worth it.

"Be open to any activities, but also be assertive and stick up for yourself, and it's okay to say no."

Time

18:49

How much free time do you really have in college? Don't take the workload of something at face value; you might want to double or even triple the "expected" time commitment.

"You have to accept the fact that there are some things you have to do a little bit of every day."
