Hi, welcome to Cheers. I'm your host, Avery Woods.

Hi, Avery. Hello. How are you? I know it's so weird. I'm like, I've never, I told her I said,

I've never interviewed anyone with my same name, but also I don't know a lot of people with our name. But you know a bunch of people with her name. You're just telling me. Like everyone, I feel like I feel less unique. I maybe I was, it's kind of weird. We're 10 years apart, which makes me feel so old. But I think it's also a generation thing because I was telling her when I was in preschool, I hated my name because two boys are named Avery. And I was like, I don't want to be named after a boy. And then I grew up to love my name because no one had it. But you were telling me at U of A, a bunch of girls are named after. I don't think it's as popular on the East Coast. then I moved to the West Coast and like Arizona. I think it's just a very popular California name. But my mom picked it. It was a last name. It was a guy's last name in a yearbook and she thought it was super cool. And so that's why she named me that. And I loved growing up with no one having the name Avery.

Yeah.

Are you from the East Coast?

Yeah.

Where are you from?

I'm from New Jersey originally. But then I, like, moved to Miami and middle school. So that's where I've been. And now you're at U of A. Mm-hmm. Did you start at U.A as a freshman? Yeah. How do you like it there?

I like it.

You're like, that sounded like a big lot.

No, I love like the community and my friends, but obviously like, you know, Tucson's. Yeah. I was going to say, so we were obviously in the Phoenix area when we lived in Arizona. So we were a couple hours away, but I remember some of my friends going to

U of A that graduated a year before me. And so I went to go hang out with them in their dorms, went to

parties, whatever, to kind of explore the campus because I was considering going to nursing

school at U of A. I loved the campus. Yeah. I thought it was really cool because ASU is very spread out. It's like the whole city of Tempe. So it doesn't feel very like college town whereas U of A feels more college town because it's condensed. But outside of U of A is Tucson. Yeah. You know. I picked it because I wanted like the college college experience. Like I wanted to like go to class, do the sorority things like party, go to the frats. Like I wanted that whole deal. So I love it for that. It is cool because like I'll be, I don't know, I was in Newport for the fourth and you see someone else from you of A and they instantly come up to you and you have that connection. And I think I'll have that for the rest of my life, which is really cool.

Like it's a big school, but it's very like small Greek life and small groups.

And you'll always have those connections.

So that's cool.

But I definitely go a little stir crazy being in Tucson.

Yeah.

Because you can't really leaving the campus, there's not much to do. So you're

probably feeling kind of stuck. Yeah, there's like one or two like Pilates and yoga places.

And it's kind of like Black Rock's only coffee. You know, yeah. It's like hard. But I'm trying to get
