Summary

This week, we’ll be sharing a day in our life. We each picked a specific day in our past week to break down in EXTREME detail (including the dreams we had the night before). We talk about what we did when we woke up, the breakfasts we had, the candles we lit, the packages that arrived, what corners of TikTok we’re in, and what we read!

After talking about our days, we cover how this day lines up with our normal days, what we’ve left out, and what we wish we did that day to make it “better.”

0:00.0	Hi everyone and welcome to Bouton Paper Podcast. I'm Olivia Mentor and I'm Becca Freeman.
0:22.4	And today we're doing a day in the life where Becca and I tell you about a day in our lives.
0:30.4	In extreme detail. No matter how boring it is, I love when people on Instagram or TikTok
0:36.6	do a day in the life. It's so voyeuristic. It is. It is. And I feel like we're going to
0:42.9	be very honest. It's not going to be necessarily the most glamorous days, but it will be detailed.
0:49.8	Unfortunately, Terence was not able to join us to share a day in his life.
0:53.1	That's what you think. Come on Terence. It's like more. Terence, you are not the father.
1:04.7	Oh my gosh. Love that little guy. If any of you don't listen to Book Club, you really missed out
1:11.1	on an inside joke that I'm not going to explain to you. Now you're going to have to.
1:14.8	All right. Well, let's get into some highs and lows. Shall we? Please. What's your high?

1:51.9	One of her friends who we also share an agent with hosted it. And I was like, is this going to be
1:59.0	really earnest and uncomfortable? What is this going to be? It was so funny. So, so, so fun.
2:07.8	Oh, good. It looked very interesting. Like one of the fan fictions was a very
2:13.4	seriously written fan fiction about Mario from Super Mario Brothers and Yoshi and Princess Peach.
2:21.4	Okay. Another one was about Garfield and his relationship with LaZania.
2:26.5	I did see that one. I was like, I'm not fully putting the pieces together here, but it was
2:31.4	hilarious. It was really, really funny. The next day, I had dinner with my friend, Lydia.
