Season 2 Episode 1: The Last First Week

We’re back! On the Bluff kicks off Season 2 with my last first week of school at LMU. Season 1 was all about finding our voice, and now we’re expanding the conversation beyond campus into the real college experience and life after. In this episode, we reflect on the energy of senior year, what’s changed since my first days at LMU, and what it feels like knowing graduation is on the horizon. From being the floater friend to embracing independence, we share stories, lessons, and a few laughs about navigating college friendships, favorite moments, and what comes next. We also dive into walking the stage, chasing creative projects, and finding balance between enjoying the moment and preparing for the future. And for the underclassmen listening, we leave you with some advice on finishing the college grind strong. 👉 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube. 👉 For the raw convos we can’t have in class, check out On the Bluff: Uncensored available FREE on Patreon.
