You're one of those ivy achievers? God. Okay. Well I can only speak for normal person colleges, but yeah, it's great. It's like...remember in season two when Jake was stranded in Costa Rica (GOD survival skills-Jake though...) and Tyler couldn't get there because he was on a no-fly list, so he had to hack into the whatever and erase his record?

Well, college is like that. Whatever you've spent the last eight years thinking you can't do because of who you are and who you've always been, it doesn't apply anymore. You're just this blank nobody-person that you get to invent.

My advice you didn't ask for is do EVERYTHING. Try everything that's offered to you until you find the thing you love. And also, keep writing fic, because my god I just read Mad World and you are blowing my mind.

aw yeah?? mad world is one of my favorites actually, if i'm allowed to say that about my own stuff...i mean let's be honest the season two finale wrote it for me. where are those I-would-walk-to-the-end-of-the-earth-for-your-damn-self moments in season 3, aaaah i'm dying.

do everything. got it. i'm probably going to be double majoring but it would be nice to find time to get into...something. right now all i get into are tyler girl vs. jake girl battles and lacrosse players' beds. lol overshare.

The fuck is lacrosse?

Oh my god do you know Tylergirl93? I link to her stuff on my journal sometimes just to get the exposure. She drives me CRAZY. I think she honestly thinks the show would be better if Jake wasn't on it at all. What is she watching??

With a sort of startling lack of humility, I'm now working on Mad World art. Please tell me to stop if this is annoying.

oh my god OPPOSITE of annoying. are you going to finish it tonight?? i gotta sign off here in a sec to try to deal with this ridiculous series of emails i'm getting from the aforementioned lacrosse player, but i'll check in first thing tomorrow?

and GOOD LORD DO I KNOW HER. do. i. know her. i have HORROR STORIES, girl. (girl, right? the only finn i know is a guy, but are there even any guys in fandom? what's with that, anyway?)

--eve

Girl. It's short for Stephanie.

I'll have it finished for you in the morning. Tell me your horror stories, it's only fair.

Good luck with Monsieur LaCrosse!

ugh, thank you, i need it.

night!!
