0:12
Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush.
0:15
Speaker 1: Today's episode is a little different and honestly long overdue.
0:19
Speaker 1: We've got some very special guests joining me today. My sisters.
0:23
Speaker 1: You guys, hear me talk about college rush and Sororiti
0:25
Speaker 1: life all the time, but now we're getting the real,
0:28
Speaker 1: unfiltered version from the people actually living it right now.
0:32
Speaker 1: They've been through the chaos of recruitment, figured out where
0:34
Speaker 1: they fit, and have their own stories to tell. So
0:37
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Gabriella Milania, Welcome to Dirty Rush.
0:41
Speaker 2: Thanks for having us, Love you Chia.
0:45
Speaker 1: Okay, so why don't we just share with everyone where
0:47
Speaker 1: you guys are, where you're at right now? If you
0:50
Speaker 1: want to disclose what Sororiti.
0:51
Speaker 2: You're in, Hi, I'm currently in Barcelona, Spain. I'm usually
0:56
Speaker 2: in an arbor, but I'm studying abroad at Michigan. I'm
1:00
Speaker 2: in tri Ita.
1:01
Speaker 1: And what about you, Millennia, So.
1:03
Speaker 3: I go to University of Tampa. I'm in sigd Out and.
1:07
Speaker 4: Love my sorority.
1:09
Speaker 1: Okay, so did you guys always plan on rushing or
1:13
Speaker 1: did that decision happen once you got to school.
1:17
Speaker 3: I always knew I was gonna rush because of Jia.
1:23
Speaker 3: I kind of like everything that like she did like
1:25
Speaker 3: if I kind of like I just followed because she's
1:29
Speaker 3: my older sister, so like she went in a sorority.
1:31
Speaker 4: She was always thinking, you need to do that.
1:33
Speaker 3: So I always knew it not the thing Gabriella did it.
1:37
Speaker 3: So my sisters always gave me advice on what to do,
1:40
Speaker 3: and I listened.
1:42
Speaker 1: I think your story was a little different, though, Gabrielle,
1:44
Speaker 1: because I didn't know, if you write you didn't fully
1:47
Speaker 1: know if you wanted to rush.
1:48
Speaker 2: I guess I didn't know where I wanted to go
1:50
Speaker 2: to school at first, and I was like it was
1:52
Speaker 2: dependent on where I chose. But because I went to
1:55
Speaker 2: a big ten, then I knew I wanted to rush.
1:57
Speaker 2: But if it was a difference, maybe not. It's just
2:01
Speaker 2: part of the social life there, so I feel like
2:04
Speaker 2: it adds to the experience.
2:06
Speaker 1: I think it is a great way. You know, I'm
2:07
Speaker 1: happy you both rushed. I do think it's a great
2:09
Speaker 1: way to meet people, even if you know, obviously you
2:13
Speaker 1: have your close friends and your sorority, but just being
2:16
Speaker 1: in Greek life in general, you also meet girls from
2:20
Speaker 1: different sororities that you end up being close with. And
2:22
Speaker 1: that kind of is what happens freshman year. You meet
2:25
Speaker 1: a bunch of people. Sometimes you get separated when you
2:28
Speaker 1: go through recruitment, but even though you're in different sororities,
2:32
Speaker 1: you still can hang out, go out together, go out
2:35
Speaker 1: to different places. So I think it just is broadens
2:39
Speaker 1: the family of Greek life and you're all one big family.
2:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. It's also like a completely different
2:46
Speaker 2: crowd of people at school. Like I'm studying abroad right
2:50
Speaker 2: now and I run into people that go to my
2:52
Speaker 2: school all the time, but I didn't know they went
2:54
Speaker 2: to my school because they're not in Greek life, because
2:56
Speaker 2: that's kind of the crowd of majority of part of
2:59
Speaker 2: right now.
3:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
3:01
Speaker 3: I mean, do you guys not remember the week I
3:02
Speaker 3: called you and I was like, I don't really think
3:04
Speaker 3: I'm gonna rush when I want to drop with you.
3:06
Speaker 4: Guys, You're like, no, don't do that.
3:08
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, but you rushed first semester, right,
3:13
Speaker 2: It was different for me.
3:13
Speaker 3: I rushed first semester, so like I went like one
3:18
Speaker 3: week with meeting friends without being in a sorority, and
3:22
Speaker 3: then I joined my sorority and met a whole bunch
3:24
Speaker 3: of friends during recruitment. We all went in different sororities,
3:27
Speaker 3: and we're all still friends.
3:29
Speaker 1: I think that's a good move, though, especially if you
3:32
Speaker 1: do have to rush first semester, because it kind of
3:34
Speaker 1: like makes you meet people right away.
3:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess in a way, if you were struggling
3:40
Speaker 2: to meet people, it gives you friends right off the bat.
3:43
Speaker 2: But for me it was a little different. I rushed
3:45
Speaker 2: second semester, but I actually preferred it that way because
3:48
Speaker 2: now I have like what I call my first semester
3:51
Speaker 2: friends and my sorority friends, and I ended up finding
3:54
Speaker 2: a really great group of girls first semester, So I
3:57
Speaker 2: wouldn't have changed it, because, like I I loved both
4:00
Speaker 2: equally as much.
4:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, University of Tampa's different, though, it's definitely not a
4:05
Speaker 3: big ten, So we did not need to, Like, you
4:09
Speaker 3: do not need to join a sorority here, like at
4:11
Speaker 3: all whatsoever. Like you really don't need to. Like if
4:14
Speaker 3: I was in a sortia or not, I would be
4:15
Speaker 3: the same like for here, Like, I guess if you
4:17
Speaker 3: want to go to like mixers and stuff, you need
4:19
Speaker 3: to be an authority. But like my best friend Victoria,
4:22
Speaker 3: she's not in Asrotia. I bring her to only mixers.
4:24
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, she's in Sigdell. She's in sig Deel
4:27
Speaker 3: like like we're just like I bring her to everywhere
4:30
Speaker 3: and like a bunch of girls go. I don't know,
4:32
Speaker 3: just like doesn't really matter here that much as if
4:35
Speaker 3: like I were in Michigan.
4:38
Speaker 4: Just doesn't look.
4:40
Speaker 2: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But I guess for
4:43
Speaker 2: like game days, it's better to be in a sorority.
4:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what was rush like for each of you? Long?
4:51
Speaker 1: I'm sure yours was like not even close to what
4:55
Speaker 1: ours was.
4:56
Speaker 4: Like, all right, well, who wants to go.
4:58
Speaker 1: To you have rock as your sorority.
5:03
Speaker 3: We had different classrooms and like talk to like literally
5:07
Speaker 3: like going to different classrooms. Like I'm walking around this
5:10
Speaker 3: like campus because like University of Tampa's really not that big,
5:13
Speaker 3: Like it's like my longest walk to class is like
5:15
Speaker 3: ten minutes.
5:17
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Don't you have rocks on
5:19
Speaker 1: campus that represent No, we.
5:22
Speaker 4: Have rocks and they're pretty and they're painted.
5:26
Speaker 1: No I'm saying smaller schools have rocks.
5:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have rocks. You don't have houses.
5:33
Speaker 1: Guys.
5:34
Speaker 4: It's okay.
5:36
Speaker 1: So you had to go so you had to go
5:39
Speaker 1: from classroom to classroom and that was representing sorority.
5:46
Speaker 3: Yes, went to a cash gym. And it's a I
5:49
Speaker 3: don't know, like making them like make.
5:51
Speaker 2: Wait, So how long was rush?
5:53
Speaker 3: It was two weekends, Saturday and Sunday each weekend.
5:59
Speaker 4: Only four days total. Yeah, oh yeah, that's literally nothing.
6:04
Speaker 4: Well it was still a lot o.
6:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure, but I guess it's just different. Like
6:10
Speaker 2: were the classrooms decorated? Like how did you get a
6:13
Speaker 2: feel for the sorority?
6:15
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well I knew I like myself, Like yeah,
6:19
Speaker 3: they like decked them all out, like they like put up,
6:21
Speaker 3: like they like put up like curtains, like they did
6:25
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of stuff like like obviously did not
6:28
Speaker 3: look in the classroom. And they put table cloths, they
6:30
Speaker 3: put ta cloths over the chairs. They bought like bows
6:35
Speaker 3: to pull on the chairs. They decked it all out.
6:37
Speaker 3: But I went into every sorority and then first, oh god,
6:42
Speaker 3: the first two were like so like quiet, like then
6:48
Speaker 3: and I got like really scared, like wait.
6:49
Speaker 4: This is not for me. And then I go into
6:52
Speaker 4: my story. They're like s I.
6:54
Speaker 5: It's like screaming on the top of their breaking and
6:59
Speaker 5: like jumping in my face and like like twerking on me,
7:03
Speaker 5: like going crazy, and I loved it.
7:05
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, this is me, this is me,
7:09
Speaker 3: like like dancing like in this circle to like Cardi
7:13
Speaker 3: B or something like.
7:14
Speaker 4: It was funny. It was really funny.
7:17
Speaker 3: And I had a great conversation and all the girls
7:19
Speaker 3: were like absolutely beautiful, Not that that matters, but they
7:23
Speaker 3: were really beautiful, and I was like wow, yeah, and
7:26
Speaker 3: they're crazy.
7:27
Speaker 4: I like that.
7:28
Speaker 1: So you found your home.
7:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:30
Speaker 1: The second they started playing Cardi B, you knew you belonged.
7:33
Speaker 3: And the second they started like jumping up and down
7:35
Speaker 3: and like twerking and having a good time.
7:38
Speaker 1: So what was your brush experience?
7:40
Speaker 2: Like everyella, mine was a lot different. Mine started in January,
7:44
Speaker 2: second semester, and it was like in the brink of winter.
7:48
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna lie. That was probably the most
7:51
Speaker 2: miserable time, like ever. I was in my skirt tights
7:55
Speaker 2: and this like little top walking to house house. It
7:59
Speaker 2: was like negative wind chill. It was like it was
8:01
Speaker 2: like negative three degrees.
8:02
Speaker 1: I think, no, yeah, I mean Michigan gets really cold
8:04
Speaker 1: in the winter, if you guys.
8:06
Speaker 2: But that was my That was my worst winter at
8:08
Speaker 2: Michigan since being there my junior. Now obviously not there
8:11
Speaker 2: this winter, but like last year was so much more
8:13
Speaker 2: mild comarage to freshman year, so the weather made is
8:17
Speaker 2: super hard and I was also, oh, I think I
8:20
Speaker 2: was Do I go on acutane?
8:21
Speaker 1: Yeah?
8:21
Speaker 2: I was on acutane so my skin felt like it
8:24
Speaker 2: was going to crack off anyways, But besides that, I
8:27
Speaker 2: had it for I think like around a month or
8:29
Speaker 2: at least like three weeks. Who open house, Yeah, it
8:33
Speaker 2: was the list.
8:34
Speaker 1: Each round was a weekend. It's what it's open house
8:37
Speaker 1: round Sisterhood and then philanthropy.
8:40
Speaker 2: Open house, philanthropy Sisterhood, than pres and open house is
8:45
Speaker 2: virtual and then you go, I think from sixteen to
8:48
Speaker 2: I think it's twelve right after open house.
8:51
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I think we did open house philanthropy and
8:55
Speaker 1: then preth or we didn't have sister run no or
9:00
Speaker 1: no okay, actually I think it was open house, Sisterhood
9:05
Speaker 1: and PREF. But during PREF they like explained what our
9:09
Speaker 1: philanthropy was in like.
9:11
Speaker 2: A comed Yeah. Yeah, then like right after open house
9:16
Speaker 2: you start going to the houses. So like as soon
9:18
Speaker 2: as I went to the houses, like then I really
9:20
Speaker 2: knew where I wanted to like be.
9:22
Speaker 1: But you you were conflicted a little bit.
9:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was conflicted because, like I said, I had
9:30
Speaker 2: first semester friends, and I think you're under the inception
9:34
Speaker 2: that like you're all going to go the same place,
9:35
Speaker 2: but like obviously you're gonna connect with different girls in
9:38
Speaker 2: different ways. So by the end of it, I was
9:42
Speaker 2: down to two like kind of the whole time. But
9:45
Speaker 2: when I had a summit only two for pref I
9:47
Speaker 2: was debating between which one to drop.
10:05
Speaker 1: Which part of the process do you guys think was
10:07
Speaker 1: the most challenging.
10:08
Speaker 3: Last year when were rushing, we weren't allowed to chew gum,
10:11
Speaker 3: say rush talk about boys, alcohol, going out that standard.
10:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what was the most challenging when you were
10:21
Speaker 1: rushing for a sorority? Like what part it was the
10:24
Speaker 1: most challenging for you? Or was it not challenging because
10:27
Speaker 1: the second you heard Cardi B you knew where you belonged.
10:30
Speaker 3: The most challenging was at the end, I called my sisters,
10:33
Speaker 3: and I was between when Sigdell.
10:35
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember this, you were in between two too.
10:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I really like this one girl who rushed me.
10:43
Speaker 3: But you know what, at the end of the day,
10:45
Speaker 3: I knew Sigdell.
10:48
Speaker 4: Was like more my vibe.
10:49
Speaker 3: But I was like, really in between the two, you
10:51
Speaker 3: just like have to just like go with like you
10:54
Speaker 3: really think was more your vibe.
10:55
Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, that's Sigdell.
10:58
Speaker 1: I think that's the hardest part. I mean I was
11:00
Speaker 1: stuck between two.
11:01
Speaker 2: Well you only haven eight sororities at your school, right, Yeah, yeah,
11:06
Speaker 2: I mean I guess the most challenging part is just
11:08
Speaker 2: like when you're debating like which ones to drop and
11:11
Speaker 2: which ones to keep.
11:12
Speaker 3: And I also like being in a sorority because being
11:15
Speaker 3: in a sorority and you get like mixtures with like fraternities,
11:18
Speaker 3: and then you meet a whole bunch of boys and
11:20
Speaker 3: that's always fun.
11:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is fun. I mean you get to meet people,
11:25
Speaker 1: obviously make friends. Us three, we didn't have any legacy
11:29
Speaker 1: connections when we were rushing for a sorority. We were
11:35
Speaker 1: the first generation really in our family to go to college.
11:39
Speaker 1: So the sorority is you know, asked us back based
11:44
Speaker 1: on our personalities and our connections with them. But yeah,
11:49
Speaker 1: we no one and our family went to college besides us, you're.
11:55
Speaker 2: Real, and we all went to different colleges and we
11:58
Speaker 2: all endrow up in different sororities as well.
12:00
Speaker 1: Yeah we did. I mean Mom went to Berkeley and
12:02
Speaker 1: got her associates, but she did not rush a sorority.
12:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mom went to college. Don't tell people that Mom
12:09
Speaker 4: didn't go to college.
12:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we are like the first generation to really
12:13
Speaker 1: go to school and graduate with a bachelor's degree.
12:16
Speaker 4: Will she stay at college like dorm like we did.
12:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, she wasn't allowed to.
12:22
Speaker 4: I know.
12:24
Speaker 1: But I'm saying we are the first generation to really
12:27
Speaker 1: go to school, go away, get our bachelor's degree. Like
12:30
Speaker 1: the way we all experienced college is very different than
12:36
Speaker 1: our parents and aunts. And yeah, I don't think any
12:40
Speaker 1: of our uncles, I.
12:41
Speaker 3: Mean we bad parties for our Yeah, like part is insane.
12:49
Speaker 1: They still do bad parties.
12:51
Speaker 4: I know.
12:52
Speaker 3: And like if you were to tell No One of that,
12:53
Speaker 3: she's like kid five stacles.
12:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, no idea what that off it is?
13:00
Speaker 2: I think because Mom never experienced it, she would like
13:02
Speaker 2: encourage us to do it. She was like excited for us.
13:06
Speaker 1: She was so excited she wanted us to do everything
13:08
Speaker 1: that she didn't do. So going into that, what is parents'
13:13
Speaker 1: weekend like for you guys? I mean, I know what
13:16
Speaker 1: it was like for me. Mom is not a frat
13:19
Speaker 1: party girl. She really doesn't like the frat parties that much.
13:23
Speaker 1: She's a good sport. She'll come, she'll hang out for
13:27
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I totally understand. It's such a
13:30
Speaker 1: different situation when she's in overcrowded places like bars and
13:37
Speaker 1: frat parties. I mean, she is recognized very very quickly,
13:42
Speaker 1: and it's more so than her taking photos the entire
13:46
Speaker 1: time instead of really enjoying parents' weekend with me. So
13:53
Speaker 1: because I went to school so close, it was easy
13:55
Speaker 1: for her to kind of just pop in. We could
13:58
Speaker 1: go to the game. The game was a something that
14:00
Speaker 1: she enjoyed because we just sat in our own section,
14:04
Speaker 1: and if we did a parent's tailgate, because it wasn't
14:07
Speaker 1: really near the frats, it was on a different campus,
14:11
Speaker 1: and then we would go watch the game. But yeah,
14:15
Speaker 1: but it was fun. I just think obviously, you know
14:20
Speaker 1: trees better than frat parties.
14:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it was similar at mine.
14:25
Speaker 2: I mean she came for a game day and I
14:28
Speaker 2: only would take her to the tailgates if they were
14:31
Speaker 2: like not crowded, if that makes sense, because otherwise it's
14:33
Speaker 2: like too overwhelming. I remember her Louis came for the
14:37
Speaker 2: USC game. I guess it was my sophomore year, first semester,
14:42
Speaker 2: and I felt so bad because it's not usually that crowded,
14:46
Speaker 2: but because we've never played them before, it was actually
14:50
Speaker 2: the most crazy I've ever seen. And usually when you
14:53
Speaker 2: go into the bake house it's very quick, like takes
14:56
Speaker 2: two seconds. So I took them through the student section.
14:59
Speaker 2: We were like almost like in a mosh pit, Like
15:03
Speaker 2: we were like neck and neck with people pushing. It
15:06
Speaker 2: was so bad. I felt terrible.
15:09
Speaker 1: It's just different, you know, and like gets on. It's
15:11
Speaker 1: like things that we can't control.
15:13
Speaker 2: No, yeah, and then and then we got to like
15:15
Speaker 2: our normal seats and like that was fine, but exactly, yeah,
15:19
Speaker 2: like just like less time.
15:20
Speaker 1: She's such a good sport and she really does it
15:24
Speaker 1: and like doesn't mine because obviously we want her there
15:27
Speaker 1: for a parents' weekend. She wants to be there, but
15:30
Speaker 1: sometimes when it's too crowded, it's just it's too much.
15:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take her to like the activities at my
15:37
Speaker 2: Soty house. So they do a lot of stuff in
15:38
Speaker 2: the front yard. They do that stuff is really cute. Yeah,
15:42
Speaker 2: and then we'll just like go dinner one of my
15:44
Speaker 2: favorite places. Yeah uh yeah.
15:47
Speaker 3: So yeah, when mom came to visit me, I had
15:51
Speaker 3: to bring her an electric fan to the door.
15:57
Speaker 4: But my fan, it is really good. It's like a
15:58
Speaker 4: dice and like it really just like.
16:02
Speaker 3: Just like I've spent eighty bucks on it and it
16:04
Speaker 3: works perfect on Amazon. I had to it gets really
16:08
Speaker 3: hot here, like I sweat and it looks disgusting. I'm
16:11
Speaker 3: not doing that, Like, no one's catching me dripping sweat.
16:14
Speaker 3: That's a gross And like at the Doughty's there's not pools,
16:17
Speaker 3: and if there is a pool, I'm not going in
16:19
Speaker 3: that pool.
16:19
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I would hope not.
16:22
Speaker 4: Disgusting like du I wouldn't. Yeah.
16:24
Speaker 3: No, So, like everyone was trying to get me to
16:27
Speaker 3: go down the water side the one time, I'm.
16:29
Speaker 1: Like, how was it for mom?
16:31
Speaker 3: Though, I'm explaining my college experience and I'll tell you
16:35
Speaker 3: Mom's after.
16:39
Speaker 4: And everyone got feet in hand stuff.
16:42
Speaker 3: Something after they went down the water slide kishi like fungus.
16:47
Speaker 1: Yeah that hand foot mouth.
16:50
Speaker 4: Okay.
16:50
Speaker 3: Anyways, so Mom was in the crowd, like like putting
16:54
Speaker 3: the fan in her and like everyone kept asking her
16:56
Speaker 3: for photos. It was really freaking annoying, just because I
16:58
Speaker 3: I wanted to dance, I want and everyone like taking
17:00
Speaker 3: photos or and like she stayed for like thirty minutes,
17:04
Speaker 3: and oh, Johanna was like, yeah.

17:06
Speaker 3: It's so hot, I'm sweating, and I was like, deuces, girls,
17:11
Speaker 3: I'm staying for a little bit longer, and then went.
17:15
Speaker 4: Back to my apartment and laid out.
17:16
Speaker 1: By my pool.
17:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:18
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean it's different. I feel like when
17:20
Speaker 1: they go visit you at Tampa, it's you could make
17:23
Speaker 1: more of a relaxing weekend out of it, especially because
17:26
Speaker 1: you're on the beach.
17:27
Speaker 3: We went to the beach and tang all day and Mom,
17:30
Speaker 3: we sat in the durroombrolls got really ten.
17:32
Speaker 4: Mom ordered food, o'donna ordered food.
17:35
Speaker 1: We eat.
17:35
Speaker 4: It was like sands the beach all day. It was
17:37
Speaker 4: really nice.
17:39
Speaker 3: And but the day before that, my sorority was throwing
17:42
Speaker 3: authority for Parents' weekend, so I wanted to take my
17:45
Speaker 3: mom to that and then at night we went to
17:47
Speaker 3: dinner and I took all Gianna out.
17:50
Speaker 4: My mom didn't want to go out, so she just
17:51
Speaker 4: stayed home.
17:51
Speaker 1: That's good. I mean, I think parents' weekend definitely can
17:55
Speaker 1: be a lot for her, but it is fun because
17:58
Speaker 1: she could do different things each one of our schools.
18:01
Speaker 1: When it's a little commerce, she can go to the
18:03
Speaker 1: sorority house and come to parent events that we hosted
18:06
Speaker 1: our sorority house. Milania, you have the luxury of being
18:09
Speaker 1: in the sun, which we obviously all enjoy. So you know,
18:14
Speaker 1: just doing things in little increments and making sure it's
18:17
Speaker 1: not too overwhelming.
18:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean she does come to everything though.
18:21
Speaker 2: She comes to everything, and she's amazing and doesn't have
18:24
Speaker 2: a problem with it. But what's also nice about my area.
18:27
Speaker 2: We go to Birmingham, you did, like an hour outside
18:30
Speaker 2: of ann oarb It's like kind of a Morstown Mount
18:33
Speaker 2: Clair area. It's beautiful, so there's a lot of shopping there.
18:37
Speaker 2: Really great well, because like you want to go out,
18:39
Speaker 2: like I actually appreciate having a more chill weekend when
18:42
Speaker 2: mom's there. So we'll go to Birmingham and they have
18:44
Speaker 2: like a really great mall, like short Hills type mall.
18:47
Speaker 1: Yeah when Yeah, my mom obviously enjoys doing that. Like
18:52
Speaker 1: by me. It was hard because like Rutgers, it was
18:55
Speaker 1: so close to home. So if I want to have
18:57
Speaker 1: a chill weeknd my mom, then I would just go home.
19:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, he came home a lot in college. I remember
19:03
Speaker 4: seeing you a lot.
19:05
Speaker 1: Well. I also a year and a half of my
19:06
Speaker 1: college experience was during COVID. Oh wait really yeah, I
19:12
Speaker 1: went home April my freshman year. I didn't go back
19:14
Speaker 1: to school until my junior year.
19:17
Speaker 4: You're lying, that's so sad. Oh that is sad. I'm
19:22
Speaker 4: so sorry that happened to you. Yeah, it sucks.
19:26
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I hate COVID for that. I made
19:29
Speaker 3: a lot of people like miss out and like their
19:31
Speaker 3: graduations and stuff like that.
19:33
Speaker 4: I felt so bad.
19:34
Speaker 1: Yeah it was rough, but but yeah, so that's why
19:38
Speaker 1: there it's fun when mom comes and visits you girls,
19:40
Speaker 1: because there's different things to do, and I think that's
19:42
Speaker 1: why I even encouraged you guys to go far and
19:45
Speaker 1: experience and do everything. But when she would come and
19:49
Speaker 1: visit me, it's like when she was tapped out. I
19:51
Speaker 1: was like, it's fine, go home, I'll see you, like
19:53
