Shauna decided to talk to her sister Tara, who is currently pursuing her PhD. While the sisters do get along, they are also known to clash over their personalities. As their stepfather Mark explains it, they are like "two pissed off cats in a sack". Even the girls' mother, Patty, noted that they were like oil and water. Shauna, however, reached out to her sister because she had her apprehensions about joining college. Fans were largely supportive of her choice.
