As college students, we’re approaching the weird and wonderful period of our lives that is adulthood. But the label “adult” is one that carries so much weight and we are often afraid to assign it to ourselves. In this episode of “The grownups are talking,” reporter Abby Thayananthan invites fellow students and young “adults” Ruby Lark Mendelsund and Anna Olivia Sommer to share their personal stories and thoughts about moving away from home, a catalyst for adulthood for many of us. In particular, they discuss how a geographical shift, or lack thereof, may impact one’s perception of their own independence and adulthood, and they compare perspectives from their own distinct lives. This episode was produced by Matthew Schwitzer.
