Chelsie: I'd like to start my own business after college. An interior design studio or something like that. And yeah, I'd also like to start my family while I'm still young enough to have the energy to do it.
Jess:I don't know. I haven't decided what I want to do with my life yet. Hopefully, I'll have graduated college and figured some things out in five years.
Alyssa:I definitely want to be living in a big city, too. It's my dream to have my art in a large gallery. We'll see.
Evie:I don't know. That's a tough question. Graduating college is a must. Other than that, I have no idea.
Well, that's all the time we have for today! We wish you all the best of luck as you head off to college!
Bonus questions: Eva, let's talk "Greek!" It's not very often I meet another Greek girl. Favorite Greek island? Favorite Greek food? Favorite Greek tradition? And the most important question, has Rob tried lamb yet?
Evie:Oh! Mou arései na miláei elliniká. Syníthos kaneís den me katalavaínei!
Alex:I'm sorry. What was that?
Rob:She said she loves talking in Greek. Most people can't understand.
Evie: Close! I said I love speaking Greek. Usually, people don't understand me.
Mike: Color me impressed. Is YiaYia making you learn that, bro?
Rob: Papou.
Evie: He's picking it up pretty quickly! My favorite Greek island is Crete, obviously, since that's where my family is from, but I'd like to visit more of them. It's on my bucket list. Uh, let's see. Picking just one favorite food is hard. I like them all. I guess I'd have to go with kettedes.
They're meatballs in red sauce.
Chelsie:What's Greek about that? My family is Italian, and we eat meatballs all the time.
Mike:Kettedes are made with lamb, babe. That's what makes them Greek.
Evie: I guess my favorite Greek tradition would be when I got to be a myrofore for Holy Friday when I was younger. It's when young girls dress all in white and scatter red rose petals throughout the Church to
accompany taking Christ down from the Cross during Holy Week services. That was a very fond memory for me. I don't think any of the other Orthodox Churches do that. Just the Greeks.
Alex:Is that like how Catholic girls get all dressed up like mini brides for First Holy Communion?
Evie:No, it's not the same thing at all. The myrofores represent the myrrh-bearing women. It has nothing to do with Communion. I'll let
Rob field the question about the lamb.
Rob: Yeah, I've had lamb. Evie was right. It doesn't take like anything else.
Alyssa: So? Did you like it?
Rob: I loved it.
Mike: He would have loved anything that night. Papou got him drunk on Ouzo while we stood around the spit for hours.
Jess: Was YiaYia pissed?
Mike and Rob:Yep.
Evie:For an all-American jock, Rob fits in pretty well with my crazy family. I think YiaYia wants to keep him. Efcharistó gia tis erotíseis!
Jeremy: What did she say?
Rob: Thanks for asking?
Evie: Almost. Thanks for the questions.
Rob:Damn. So close.
Evie: It's okay, Superjock. You can't be perfect at everything.
Rob: Challenge accepted.
Alex: Oh, shit. Here we go...
