I would learn things a lot easier if there was a Broadway show like Hamilton or Six the Musical or Assassins. Where’s my musical teaching about that one historical lady that made it cool to vote?

I’m offended that you don’t remember “Sister Suffragette” from Mary Poppins, to be honest. I’m trying not to take it personally.

Is it bad that I’m already feeling super hyped for Christmas? I know, I know. “What, already? It’s still November! You’re so annoying!” But, like… I also may have already grabbed Mason yesterday and insisted that we have to go out soon and find a cute, little tree for my dorm. So, if it is bad, then… oops?

I don’t think so, especially since Christmas pretty much starts on December 1st these days anyway, so you’re just early enough to be really ready once honorary Christmas actually gets here. Plus, you’re bound to get a super good deal on a tree this early.

Noah Puckerman and responsibility didn’t often go hand in hand in most people’s heads, but most people didn’t really dwell on the life he lead. There was a fine line he liked to think he walked between of being a total bad ass and not managing to completely fuck up everything he did. Sure it wasn’t a high standard, but it wasn’t like anyone went around holding him to those besides his mom. And even she had given up in some departments. But still, the fact was, one thing he did do was stock up on protection for his endeavors. He had learned one too many times that either the pill wasn’t reliable or he didn’t ask girls if they were on it as much as he thought. Either way, it was important to remain stocked up. 

Grabbing his usual Trojan Magnum Thin, Puck was about to be on his way before his eyes caught onto another brand. Given he had started to dip his toes into fucking around with dudes, he was mulling over the idea of needing to buy some variety pack too. What even was the average dick size? Wouldn’t he only need other condom sizes if he was going to get fucked? Was he even into that after juvie left its own impression? Quickly turning into a guy spending way too much time in the “sexual health” section of the drug store, Puck grabbed another pack of condoms without looking at it deciding it was good enough. For now, he was just going to go to the Pharmacy counter and pay for the purchases. He didn’t have shame or anything about what he was buying, he just wanted to see if the hot Pharmacist was there. 

As he neared the counter he noticed someone else waiting– a line of one wasn’t bad. And then Puck realized the frame of who it was was a familiar one. Next came in the blonde hair that only recently made its appearance, and then came in the way the woman was carrying herself. As if she didn’t want to be seen but didn’t quite realize how hard to miss she actually was, “Well well well, if it ain’t Ginsburg’s newest blonde,” Puck called out, walking over to Marley Rose as if he didn’t have two boxes of condoms in hand. He nodded at her in greeting as well as soon as Puck was sure he had Marley’s attention, “Fancy seeing you here, Rose. You on a condom run too?” He teased, turning on his heel to rest his arms up and lean against the counter top beside Marley, giving her no choice in having to acknowledge him. That was kind of his thing.

It wasn’t like she was prepared for spending much time in public, her blonde hair had been up in a ponytail since last night and she was wearing her biggest sweater. What was meant to be a quick in-and-out was turning into the better part of the hour, going at the slowest pace imaginable to add insult to injury. So, after twenty-five minutes of waiting and wandering the store, Marley found herself still waiting in line with her wallet in hand. Not even any of the mascara or nail polish caught her interest, her laser focus could only rest on watching the pharmacist as he fixed her order. 

Considering how few people she actually knew on campus, seeing the familiar face out of the corner of her eye was as unexpected as the rest of the errand. She tried to match his cool and easy tone, but there was something about him that always caught her a little off guard. She was still trying to figure out if that was a good thing. “Would you be surprised if I said that pharmacies have more than just condoms?” Marley’s voice hushed on the last word, and her nose involuntarily scrunched at the bridge when saying condom. Puck may have been the kind of person to be able to talk about things like that without thought, but even talking about it between the two of them made her head hurt. “Maaaybe I’m here to get some candles, or cough drops.”

She offered him a small smile, trying not to seem as off guard as she actually was. She had no clue how he could be so comfortable going up to her and asking about birth control, especially considering the two of them had never found much in common before. He was always on one side of the spectrum, she was on the other -- it wasn’t like condoms were going to change that. “I’m actually waiting for something and I wouldn’t want to keep you from your, uh, lucky lady. I think --” She was interrupted by a third voice coming from a few feet away, instinctively looking over to a shocked pharmacist. It was a few moments before the words fully sunk in -- “Have you ever been on prozac before?”. It was a soft punch to her gut, but she tried not to show any of it on her face. If she was lucky, he wasn’t listening and didn’t hear it. If she was unlucky, she’d need to explain. There was only one way to find out, but she didn’t intend on facing it in that moment. “I think I ought to go.” She grabbed the white prescription bag and tucked it under her arm, prepared to turn on her heel to leave the store as quickly as possible.

I haven’t watched my necessary movies for the season and it’s starting to stress me out. The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus are sitting sadly on my shelf just begging to be viewed before November. I’m just not sure I can sit for two full movies before growing sad and cold and needing to be reminded that it’s dark at like, 4:30 really soon. 

Don’t forget Coraline and Halloween Town! Honestly, there’s too many Halloween movies to really fit them all into October, especially if you’re crazy about the actually scary movies. Plus, all my professors have gone crazy with all the assignments lately. It’s a recipe for my free time disappearing.

I never knew self-care could be so stressful. I dared to venture to the mall today, and the place was packed. I know the market starts pushing Christmas earlier and earlier, but it was mobbed. A woman nearly knocked me into a shelf of merchandise because we were both reaching for the last lotion. I just wanted a decent facemask and some new makeup, and I ended up needing a spa day before I even left the store. I thought I would maybe get a jump on holiday shopping, but apparently everyone else had the same idea. I definitely do not recommend brick-and-morter shopping, no matter how many people who don’t have internet access need them or how many employees would be ruined if they all closed - it’s much healthier to run the risk of something not fitting than it is to take your life in your hands when you go the mall in the last quarter of the year.

That’s scary. You’d think that all the holiday cheer already going around would make people a little more calm instead of bringing out the worst in everyone. You shouldn’t need to feel like a gladiator just to go and by something nice for yourself. I hope you came out mostly unscathed, at least unscathed enough to enjoy your weekend.

What century are you living in, girl? That’s all wishful thinking when there are things out there like Snapchat, which was definitely invented just so people would feel more comfortable sending nudes. Romance is dead, done, buried.

I don’t think that’s true, I just think it’s a little more uncommon. I think the desire for romance is dead, but there are definitely people that can put forth the effort and keep romance itself alive. Maybe it’s just me being a sucker for flowers and some nice words every not and then, but I really hope that doesn’t qualify me for being from a different century just yet.

If no one’s ever told you, life coaching and you? A money maker and helpful to the masses. Suzy’s alright. She’s proof that things turn around for everyone.

I hope nobody trusts me to point their life in any direction, most of my saying are completely stolen from TV or something my mom said. Well, Bless Suzy and her apparent rollercoaster of a life. I’m going to have to give her a hug when I can finally meet her.

I never get sick, and I’m probably already on a bunch of weird lists, so I’m still coming out on top. As always. Besides, I don’t know who that Olivia chick is so she can’t be that rightt about everything. She sounds hot though. What she into?

She’s into kicking butt and being the best cop in New York City. If you’ve been near a TV in the last decade, you’ve definitely seen her at least once. She could probably beat both of us up at the same time, easily. Not to mention that she’s been my mom’s phone background since I was in third grade, I only ever beat her out for that spot twice since then. I know you’re probably going to make another joke about how she sounds hot or say “something something handcuffs”, but Olivia Benson needs at least a “badass” comment somewhere in there.

It’s sad that they actually think something like that would work. I will, but I’m not holding out hope that there are any good ones around here.

At least we both know that the effort has been a little slacking. A coffee is one thing, but I was really hoping that boys would learn how important things like flowers or a letter. I mean, that’s all still really cheesy, but I haven’t seen anybody top the classic stuff just yet.

There’s no way anything I could say could ever pass the fact that campus brings pups in for finals. Absolutely nothing. That trumps everything. Ever. Even the joy I get from trying to wake my roommate up by singing ‘rise and shine’.

Alright you know what, debate babe Rose? I think I know how to settle this. There’s a lot of pro’s and con’s to spring and winter but can we please agree that at least… there is all pro’s and absolutely no con’s to fall?

So, that just taught me two things: 1. You’re pretty modest about the awesome things you say, and 2. You sound like the most evil roommate ever. Two good things to know.

I’ll accept that truce, for now. I’m a big fan of sweaters, and leaf piles used to be my favorite thing about saying goodbye to summer. So, we agree that it’s at least second best to one of the other seasons.

Damn, he’s one of those actors. That’s not surprising considering the type of role he had in Westworld. Sadly, I’m not here for riding cowboys, so I was more focused on Ben Barnes in the few episodes I actually paid attention to. Just the title of Enchanted sounds like something I want absolutely no part of. Attractive is definitely accurate, as are hot, gorgeous, and stunning. There are so many things I'd let that man do to me.

I guess that means I have full reign to call dibs on Mr. Marsden, which is lucky for the 12-year-old me that called those dibs about a decade ago. And you don’t have to worry about me trying to compete in the “interest in Michael B. Jordan or Ben Barnes”, I have a strong feeling that once you get going on that topic, you would get very ... colorful in your choice of words.

Oh wow… You lived in Washington too? That’s crazy… There’s someone else that goes here who lived in Spokane. I used to live in Seattle, but only for a couple of years, so trust me… I absolutely get Washington winters. I will say that the ones here aren’t nearly as bad, but at the very least, I do still enjoy them. Simply because the look of untouched snow… well, it’s quite beautiful. That, I’m afraid, is where we have to agree to disagree - something I hate doing with someone so beautiful - as I actually like being colder. But perhaps I’m just a bit more hot-blooded than most.

Well, what can I say? I’m nothing if not honest. So, Marley, what’s your major?

Not born, but mostly raised. I was never near anything as big as Seattle though, my neck of the woods barely had a Walgreens. So, we’re probably on opposite ends of the Washington spectrum. I will admit that it’s pretty for a little bit, but I’m jealous that I couldn’t have gotten the “warm-blooded” gene like you did. I’d be able to enjoy winter a little bit more if I didn’t freeze every time I got too close to the air conditioning vent. 

English and music. And I apparently fulfill the stereotypes for both, from what I hear. What about yourself?

TINA: Reasonably big. Just enough to sink my little legs all the way down in. Yeah, I may be a tad exhausted. And foot cramps? Terrible.

MARLEY: I don't know if I could supply the bathtub, but you get a lifetime supply of tylenol and hugs from me at literally any given moment

MARLEY: Hopefully not ALL your days are spent feeling like that, they do give you a little bit of a break, right?

CEDES: I've been told to inform you, that the POY gals are having a party tomorrow.

CEDES: There's no discussion, you're coming. If I have to watch the Fall '17 sisters act like they can hold their liquor then so do you.

CEDES: On the plus side, I will be sipping a refreshment and I'm told that Hennycedes can belt a mean whistle note.

MARLEY: I barely escaped a frat party unscathed, and even then I'm pretty sure I smelled like cheap beer for the better half of a week

MARLEY: I don't know if I can handle the sorority version of events, I might not be the same Marley on the other side. I'd be the anti-marley. Rumley.

There’s a dude wandering around with a full-sized dart board attached to his backpack and another dude following him asking people if they wanna throw a dart for five dollars. They’re completely sober and both wearing helmets, so, that’s something. This school is weird as hell. 

That sounds like an episode of Untold Stories from the ER waiting to happen, and I’m way too sqeamish to think about going on campus now. I can’t even imagine how next week is going to turn out, Halloween already brings out the weird in people.
