This week, Ryan is joined by his coworker and Franklin Pierce University sophomore Mia Cucaracha — and if you work in admissions, you already know the chaos that comes with it. From early morning school visits to nap time on the office floor, Ryan and Mia pull back the curtain on life inside the admissions office before things get a lot more personal.

Mia opens up about her journey from Pinkerton Academy — the largest private high school in America — to finding her footing at a smaller school where her voice could actually be heard. She talks about being the oldest daughter from a long line of oldest daughters, the 15-year age gap between her and her youngest sibling, and why family has always been at the center of everything she does. Oh, and somehow critter club comes up, too.

Two coworkers. One office. Completely unscripted.
