June Shannon tries to hold back Honey Boo Boo from going to college

In the most recent episode of 'Mama June: Family Crisis,' which aired on Friday, Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson made a resolute decision about her plans. After careful consideration, Alana shared with her older sister, Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, that she had opted to pursue higher education by enrolling in a university in Colorado.

Pumpkin expressed excitement at the news of Alana's evolution and newfound independence, applauding her decision to no longer depend on a man for her future. Despite their joy, both Lauryn and Alana shared concerns about Mama June's potential reaction to this revelation.

In a confessional, June Shannon said, "Alana's college deadline is coming very fastly. Do I think she's ready for college? Nope."

"But me and Pumpkin are all the time fussin' cause she's like 'Let her spread her wings, let her spread her wings.' I don't want her to spread her wings and damn crash," Mama June concluded.
