With Lynne out sick this week (curse you, COVID!), her daughter Sarah steps in as a guest Lil Fish — and she delivers. Along with Grayson from TCU, the kids get real about freshman year, frat life, tiny dorms, and the roommate roulette. Secrets are spilled about how to make the most of your college experience, avoid the senioritis spiral, and keep your GPA (and sanity) intact. Plus, the sisters dish on TV twists in The White Lotus finale and the new Netflix show Million Dollar Secret, “Senior Assassin” chaos, and the lip balm that might be better than Aquaphor. It’s fun, it’s honest, and it’s all very Lil Fish.

Senioritis, College Kids, and the Bee’s Knees of Lip Gloss
