Every episode,
ever.

Welcome to the show. Why a college dad and a college daughter started talking, what we're trying to do, and the official 'your mileage may vary' disclaimer.

"It's like the strawberry-scented teddy bear is trying to incinerate your existence."

Dorms, residence halls, random roommates and the truth about shared spaces. Plus: why you should pick your roommate before they pick you.

"I think pick a different roommate. But honestly, I think I would do it over again. The whole experience was so worth it."

The reality of college academics — overestimating your math skills, the gospel of Rate My Professors, and why 8 a.m. classes are a trap.

"I severely overestimated my abilities in math, and I ended the class with a 48%."

Clubs, Greek life, burnout and why you absolutely cannot do everything. Leave room on the shelf of your life.

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

The illusion of free time when you only have 12 hours of class a week. Plus: the Golden Gate Bridge analogy, paper planners, and why Sunday-night cram sessions ruin you.

"I'm only going to be in these classes, like, 12 hours and I'm going to be just going crazy. I'm going to get a job, make money, do stuff, have parties..."

The harsh reality of college finances. Morgan shares the moment she pulled up to the gas pump with $20 to her name — and how that panic forced her to change everything.

"I pull up my checking account, and I had $20 to my name."
