Freshman Year Blues

While 2020 has presented everyone throughout the world with a whole lot of ‘first times’, Michelle and Suzanne recognize that life is full of these firsts and that’s what they’re here to discuss today. Dubbing these experiences as ‘freshman years’, they take a fun and entertaining look at the ‘first times’ they have encountered in their own lives over the years by sharing more of the lighthearted and immensely relatable stories we’ve come to expect from these two great friends. During their conversation, they share freshman year tales about parenthood, the pandemic, semi-retirement and spending 24/7 with their husbands, new jobs, and children starting at new schools. Along the way, they also share the discoveries that can be made during freshman years and the top three things about their husbands that irritate them. They conclude the episode with an invitation for listeners to send in their own stories to OJO Email (instead of the address mentioned in the show) about their most memorable gifts, which may actually end up in a future episode. Life has truly offered these two ladies some interesting firsts, and, as usual, they have spun these experiences into laugh filled stories for us all to enjoy here today.
