New roommate this year
on April 6, 2014 at 12:01 amChapter: Back to School. Again
Characters: Mary Bradford, Sarah Clinton
Location: Joyce and Sarah's dorm room
Of course Sarah’s new roommate was gonna be Mary. I mean, hello. And, yeah, now the “Joyce and Sarah’s dorm room” location tag is a bit of a misnomer, but whatevs.
Maybe the school paired a freshman with a senior just to make the senior regret still living in a residence hall at this point. That’s what colleges are for, you know. To make you regret things.
It’s true, my regrets have increased by 500% since starting college.
So they discourage you from acting with integrity, then?
Well, it’d be a good way to keep you from dying. Hey, you know the saying, “only the good die young.” So yeah, have no integrity, regret everything, and you can live forever! Maybe that’s why Danny’s still around.
So did she end up liking Joyce or Mary better after all this?
We never really got to see. The story ended without any focus on her.
We do get a resolution of a sort near the end of It’s Walky, and I think Sarah was invited to the wedings, but beyond that . .
Is that an indication of Sarah’s character growth or Joyce’s refusal to acknowledge that Sarah hated her?
Mary got wiser, at one point. It was more of an aside.
So that explains Danny. Except I think he does have some integrity, somewhere.
And the poop is about to hit the proverbial spinning device in all likelihood.
I don’t think Sarah is up to another round of ‘shouldn’ts’ from anybody.
If college makes you regret your decisions, what does high school make you regret?
High school is for making decisions you will regret.
haha, great avatar pairing
I had a fantastic roommate my freshman year. We were both freshmen. I kept the same room my sophomore year. He was a freshman. He deeply resented everything about me, though I suspect there was an element of resenting having to share a room with anybody. I didn’t live in the dorms after my sophomore year.
I will also note that that building was the least-desirable building on campus, and as such mostly freshmen were assigned there. So taking potluck on a roommate would usually get you a freshman.
Buy a shotgun.
I forgot that this happened.
haha ha hahahahahahaha
oh poor poor sarah. you don’t know the half of it
