This week, Ava sits down with her birthday twin, Ashtyn Ganey, for a conversation every soon-to-be college student needs to hear. Together, they dive into the whirlwind transition from high school to college—finding the right roommate, facing the pressure of life-changing decisions, and learning to embrace uncertainty when everything feels like it’s happening at once.

Ashtyn opens up about her future dreams and her plans for University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the challenges of scholarship applications, and the practical worries that come with balancing a demanding nursing path alongside her passion for orchestra. Ava and Ashtyn also get into the importance of time management, staying grounded, and figuring out how to live in the moment while still keeping an eye on long-term goals.

Whether you’re finishing high school, prepping for college, or just trying to get a handle on what comes next, this episode is filled with encouragement, honesty, and the kind of perspective that makes everything feel a little more manageable.
