What are you doing on campus?

Jenna Michalski:

I have a final in about 30 minutes.

Dave Blanks:

Oh, snap. Are you ready for it?

Jenna Michalski:

Yeah, it's my last one so it's getting real.

Dave Blanks:

Is it sad?

Jenna Michalski:

A little bit.

Dave Blanks:

Yeah, you liked App?

Jenna Michalski:

Yeah, I did.

Dave Blanks:

You could still be here. You could study more.

Jenna Michalski:

I'm good on that.

Yes, absolutely.

Do you have a dog? Hello, dog. Oh, my gosh. What a nice puppy you have. Well, have a good day.

Girl with a dog:

Thank you.

So what are you doing with your gap year?

Val Moscoso:

Cool. Are we talking worldwide or are we talking US?

Val Moscoso:

Definitely worldwide. But I mean, I'll definitely start out slow with the US something.

Dave Blanks:

Sure.

Val Moscoso:

But yeah, I definitely want to go backpacking in Europe or something like that.

Dave Blanks:

Nice. I was going to say, what's one place that you've never been, that you're sure you'll go specifically.

I definitely want to go to Italy at some point.

Dave Blanks:

Okay, all right.

Val Moscoso:

For sure though.

I love it. All right. Well, Val, the sky's the limit and congratulations.

Val Moscoso:

Thank you so much.

Aru Hopper:

I'm Arou Hopper. I want to go to PA school, and I have to get a bunch of clinical hours for that. So I have a job lined up for me as a CNA, and I'll be working either in Charlotte or in Boone. I'm trying to figure out which one.
