We’re driving headfirst into the madness of small-town first days of school, where the struggle is real, and the stories are even realer. First up, we're tackling the epic adventures of back-to-school shopping. Because nothing says "new school year" like parents losing their minds over sold-out unicorn binders and the great quest for the elusive Disney Princess backpack. 

We're sharing our own cringeworthy first-day stories that will make you want to crawl under your desk. From wardrobe malfunctions, epic fails, and possibly a kidnapping...we’ve got the goods to make your worst first-day memories feel like a walk in the park.

Speaking of parks, let’s not forget the wild safari that is the school parking lot during drop-off and pick-up. We explore the art of dodging minivans, surviving the gauntlet of frazzled parents, and the ultimate challenge: finding a parking spot without causing a traffic jam or an exposed middle finger. 

Join Jessica and Karmen as they relive the unspoken dress codes, the social hierarchies, and the desperate attempts to avoid becoming the subject of that year's running joke. Grab your Trapper Keeper, your best (or worst) first-day outfit, and a healthy dose of nostalgia and join us in this episode. Don't miss your exit.
