My Diary,
So life at university continues to be pretty crazy. I am, of course, at the Greek House now, I moved in at the end of last year so I could have my entire Junior year here. It's a nice place, although they have a hole in one of the bedroom floors. It's sort of weird, and when I asked about it everyone just says they know it's there and that's about it. Seems like it's sort of a right of passage being the new couple in the house that Alvin and I take the crazy room with the hole. I just hope neither of us gets up in the middle of the night and falls down it. Right at the beginning of my sophomore year this weird guy walked in and interupted my studying making this crazy arm movements. Turns out he was just part of the secret society on campus, which I am now a member of.
I got to know Jane, Enu's finace better and I made sure to help her in the garden. That eggplant juice is really helpful when trying to get some skills for classes and just life in general. Classes are certainly getting harder, and my studio time has increased termendiously. This year I've had to take Underwater basket weaving: Art meets fitness and Oil painting and other ways to poison one's self. That second class, let me tell you, that was a bit of a scary one. Still, things were going well in school.
We had some fun toga parties. What is a greek house without toga parties?
I did mangage to spend enough time in the garden I got myself a bronze badge and then finally a silver badge by the end of the year. I feel like I can plant pretty much anything now. I will need to discuss with Alvin if there is room at his homestead for a garden, I feel like there was, but I also want to make sure there is room for any witch items needed as well. I don't know if it's being in the Greek House, or just our schedule this year, but I feel like I've seen a lot more of Alvin again. It's been nice to sit down and be able to play with him and talk more.
I find that the majority of my time, however, is spent with Jane. We just seemed to really click, you know? She's a great girl and I think she was sort of glad to have another girl around. Apparently Rachelle wasn't always her biggest fan, but she was at least another female in the house.
Over the course of the year I have managed some pretty big things, included completey maxing out my Cooking, Charisma, and Creativity skills. I feel like I am fully ready to take on the Culinary world, as soon as I am done with college. I know I have the needed skills. It feels like a big weight is lifted off me, and let's me focus on school and hobbies more now.
Durring the course of one party Heidi and I were able to become the best of friends. I'm glad because they have moved into the Greek House now, and I want us to all get along well. We also had some excitment when the big tree caught on fire, but luckily the rain put it out just as quickly.
I'm just realizing, for all that happened this year, there isn't much for me to actually say about most of it, so I guess I'll write again when things get interesting again.
Zuri
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I'm Alvin!
I'm apparently getting popular enough I got invited to be a part of the secret society here on campus. It's all very hush hush, but Zuri is also a part of it, actually the whole Greek House is, I think I was the only person for a bit who wasn't. Anyway, I'm in now, and while they have a really cool house they have something that makes me not really want to go back there.
They have a scary plant that looks a lot like a cow. It put this piece of cake out of it's mouth and apparently eats people! I was told if it's well fed it doesn't worry about eating people so I made sure to feed it while I was there. Then I quickly went home.
I have been studying a lot. I don't really have a desire to have a specific job in my life, wanting to focus on my family, but I feel like I'm ready for just about anything a job could ask of me. I have managed to maximize my studying and finish up Cooking, Cleanning, and Logic. I can now cook really healthy meals for any kids Zuri and I have.
I am also getting good at gardening so I can have fresh vegetables all the time. I've been working on my robots again too. I feel like I'm getting pretty good. So far I have silver badges in both gardening and robotics. With the gold I have in sales I wonder if I should open up a farmers market after I graduate. It would let me stay home with the kids while also making some money.
I have managed to get the title of Big Man on Campus, which is pretty cool since I didn't start here knowing that many people. I have been making good friends with the other kids my age that live back in Breeze Point, even becoming best friends with Kofi Yerazig. He's a pretty cool guy. His girlfriend, Meadow, is in classes with me, as she is also still not sure what to study.
I have seen a lot more of Zuri again, she seems really interested in getting back home, I don't know that I'm ready to go back there yet. Luckily we've got another couple of years. She also asked about a garden and I assured her we would have room for one at home. At the end of sophomore year I was told I had to pick a major since I'd taken all the basic classes and was told I would be put into Philosophy automatically, but I could change it. I haven't decided if I want to change yet.

It's hard to believe I am done with college. Jane and I are buying a plot of land back in Breeze Point. It's hard to believe we managed to survive all of college. I managed to ace all of my classes again, Exploiting the environment for fun and profit and Senior Project Internship: Coffeemaking at Landgraab Enterprises. It was good to get a look inside Langraab. That family has money, and it is nothing like Breeze Point's small businesses. But back to what happened. I did a lot of studying, writing term papers, general school work.
I continued to work on both my fishing and toy making when I had time. I started feeling like I had more and more time, even though classes were harder, I was beginning to feel like I was more prepared. I got a nature plaque, for apparently all the time I've spent in the garden and fishing. I also now have a silver badge in fishing and toy making. I'm not sure what I will do with all the toys I've made, probably just give them out of my friends as they start to have kids, but I guess we'll see what happens.
I did take all the guys on a hike but it didn't end too great. We ended up getting chased by bees the whole way home.
Before I graduated I started learning sewing. With Jane wanting to be a hall of famer and me trying to be a rock god, I figured the ability to sew my own outfits early on might help us out. I'm excited to get started.
The graduation was a lot of fun. Had a party and enjoyed talking with the family and friends that were able to be there. I was even able to get closer to Kirabo's husband. I've known him for years, but never really had the change to get to know him really well. It was a wonderful party, I took a final picture, with Meadow, one of my best friends in college, and headed back to Breeze Point. So long college!

Sup!
I'm still not much for writting but decided to make a quick update here to go over my final year of college before moving back to Breeze Point with Enu. I have been doing a lot more in garden again. Zuri and I got closer while going the garden work. It was nice to have another girl in the house and she became a good friend.
We still had a lot of parties, which was alway fun. I did become a big sim on campus, having all the new students from Breeze Point helped a lot. Still, having the toga parties gave us a lot of time to have fun with all the different kids from the university.
To finish up my senior year I had to write more papers, but I am going to get a 4.0, since I passed The One-Sim Show: Drama for those who don't play well with others and Characterization: Becoming someone more interesting than you with flying colors. The papers had gotten harder, but it didn't seem too bad anymore.
I have also gotten a plaque for Music and Dance enthusiam, and I am even a little glowy when I do things dance related now. I've gotten a couple of silver badges as well, one in gardening and one in Robotics. Beyond that, with all of the studying that I have been doing latey I have managed to max my Charisma, Body, and Cleaning. I believe that should have me ready for being a hall of famer, I just have to get on a team now.
It took quite awhile, but I finally became friends with Heidi. She is one of the newer students, and while she didn't come from Breeze Point, she is like me and will probably move there with her love, Clara.
However, those years are now ove and I am headed back to Breeze Point. The party was a good time, I had fun talking with the friends who made it, and now I am back home with Enu.
