College I: Week Five

[saveourpeeps]

From the round-up of Week Four: Leo Taylor brought his longtime girlfriend, Kayla Archer, to college, while Lena Lynch-Davis sweet-talked her own longtime love, Samara Jarrett, into coming as well. The quasi-cousins (his younger half-siblings are her cousins) moved into a dorm with their girls.

small event: Mental Health Day - skip work or school and just relax and keep your comfort and fun up
big event: nothing - the week goes on like normal

The fifth week/second year finally starts! I decided to start with the first college household (there will be three total) before even going to the Taylor-Davis household. So, without further ado, meet our first four college students!



We have the adorable Kayla Archer, all grown up now. She had no problem joining her long-time love...



Leo Taylor is also all grown up and ready to handle the world of academia.



Samara Jarrett also tagged along with her own girlfriend...



My favorite Lena Lynch.



Not too surprising, the newly-minted young adults quickly scoped out their bedrooms that are in a whole new neighborhood from their parents...



Well, some go to the bed, others go for the books. Priorities, people.



Trust me, there was a lot of this during their time - I was more interested in getting them through this since they already have significant others and don't need romantic drama.



LIKE THIS - you had better be talking about your great love for your individual partners and not each other.





I think this might have been Samara taking her mental health day off from classes, or maybe I just liked this angle - who knows, because I certainly don't!



This does not look like a romantic moment.



This, however, does. *quickly scrolls away*



No, this is not what you think - I don't have a mod that allows for college pregancies (at least, I don't think so...) - Samara has simply gained the freshman fifteen.



Someone is ready for some commitment yes my plan is working...



Leo doesn't know about all that, though - he's just unhappily working his way through his homework right now.



Lena loves the fact taht there's a little more of Samara to grab - she doesn't mind the extra pounds at all, that's for sure.



These are their basic grades for the whole week - not bad, but not great, because I was kind of rushing through everything.



The hot tub is quite popular.



I think Samara looks great with the extra weight, but she looks a little red right now - maybe too much hot tub?



My lovely Lena. She can do not wrong.



This streaker can, though - this looks quite painful.



Either Kayla is sleeping in the wrong room or Lena is doing homework in the wrong room - either way, someone doesn't understand privacy.



They definitely need some privacy now...





I can't wait for the babies...



This is a perfect show of what happens in this dorm - lots of adorable couple moments since everyone's already paired up.



Sometimes it's less adorable and more "we should really be doing this in our own room and not out in the common area."



Look at poor Kayla, stuck eating alone at another table.





Before I forget, here are everyone's majors:

Leo: Philosophy

Samara: Literature

Kayla: Economics

Lena: Drama

Sometimes there's more in common with these two than just their hair color.



Really, cafeteria lady?



You don't get to freak out, you're the one who did this!



I think you should stay away from the stove for a while...



Aw, poor Samara lost her cute extra weight, probably thanks to this irritating dude.
Kayla: But I need to be at class right now...
Gym Teacher: I don't care, keep jumping!
Samara: Maybe if I eat my hair, I'll gain back the weight.
College is weird.



Hmm, I wonder what's happening here.



He said yes, of course! First engagement of the second generation!



Leo celebrates his engagement by gambling - sounds like a solid plan.



According to my notes, a cheerleader and cow mascot got into a fight - the cheerleader came out victorious, because obviously.



Somone who apparently jealous of how nicely things are going for Leo, though.



Hey, payback is fair game, you started it, dude!



This is the real sign of victory, though.
Dormmate: Did he just forget that I was here?
Probably - he has better things on his mind.



Love is in the air.



Wow, someone is just not happy no matter how nicely things are going for him.



Luckily, Kayla quickly reassures him, and everyone ends their college experience on a high note.
Yep, that's it for the first college household this round! Since these couples obviously didn't break up due to unneeded drama, they both moved into their own places.



Leo and Kayla moved into a colorful apartment on the other side of Sunset Bay, away from all the Taylor and Davises. Kayla got a little makeover yet again, and they're ready to begin their engaged lives together.



And here are the adorable Lena and Samara (who isn't looking at the camera for some UNKNOWN reason, come on, Samara!) in their own, super-colorful and adorable house at the top of a hill. Seriously, as soon as I finished decorating the house, I wanted to play them, but I'm still at the beginning of week five!

Anyway, that's it for this update - the next will take us back to Leo's family, the Taylor-Davises!

Notes:
- Lena is my first official last name decider - she keeps her original, game-given name of Lena Lynch because she has an ever-so-slightly higher relationship with Luna than Vanessa (92 versus 91 LTR). That's how all last names are going to be decided - I didn't bother with Leo, though, because he lives with Delaina and has only interacted with Trinity a few times, so it's pretty obvious who he's going to have a higher relationship with.
- I don't know what order I'm going to play these households in - probably Delaina's Taylor household, then Leo's Taylor household, followed by the Lynch-Davises and then Lena's Lynch household. We'll see how many college households and such there are next round, though. This is just me thinking out loud, at this point.
- Was this college round interesting enough? I know there wasn't a lot of drama, so I might have to rethink these college updates, maybe put them all together and only show the more interesting events? Let me know if you have an opinion either way!
