Billionaire decides he rather have a blinged out beta bf rather than a reserved alpha who says no

[schrodingersregret]

Langdon after a bad day afraid to go back to his empty apartment and Robby after a bad day afraid to go back to his empty house, both scared of what they could do if they’re entirely by themselves and have the space to just think, deciding to go home together to just sit. Be alone in the same place.

I’d really like to not have nightmares of being homeless again every single night while trying to find somewhere to rent, brain. Surprisingly, it’s actually not helpful.

Sooo...

Should Lucy really decide to move in with Tim, will Rodge move in with Celina? Or is it to soon?

Or will they make Miles and Celina roomies? I could totally see this.

Howdy! I'm Emmi, you're my roomie, right? Yeah? I hope we'll be great friends. I know that's an awful thing to say as a first greeting because than like what if you find me unbearable but I'm really banking on trauma bonding here because What The Fuck, right? One minute I'm trying to avoid some kooks while I was paddling out and then I see a shadow under the water and then wham, next thing I know I'm waking up with a bag over my head and my ears all fucked up like getting too deep underwater too quick, and then some cunt is up in my face telling me I should be grateful that I've been given the opportunity to awaken my mystical potential so I— well. Handled it poorly. And then they put me in here. I got the orientation slideshow but it didn't really help much.

....sorry, I talk a lot, and it's been a hell of a day. At least I got out of the room a bit— in the common room the RAs— they're called some bullshit, but they're RAs— have covered everything in boxes of sheet sets and room supplies, so that's where I got everything I've got on my side of the room. Aren't the sheets beautiful? My family always... star themed everything. And they don't seem too worn. Some of the boxes had stuff that looked a little better loved, but some people like that. I did get this lamp that has this little bronze fox hiding in the tree-trunk base— you see him there? His nose is all polished and bright. Somebody had this and just— pet his nose.

I don't quite know what to feel about the sources of those boxes but— well. It's nice to have bedsheets.

Maybe we can look on the bright side, yeah?

can you show me to the common room?

Do you wanna go to a party?

Did the bag they put over your head smell like gravy?

When you say "handled it poorly"....

it’s college move in season for lots of folks right now so I wanted to share my tips for move in for people who may be moving away from home for the first time, and for the folks who may be moving their young humans into college!

I live, work and breath college dorm which is a bit of a unique thing I think. I have lived in 6 different university’s dorms, I have worked in Uni dorms in multiple roles, I am a part of my university’s move in welcome squad, and I also work on the side in institutional residential construction, AKA building dorms! All that said I wanted to share some tips! This might not be applicable to everyone, and if you have any others feel free to add them! Move in can be a stressful time, you are going to amazing!

If you have breakable things like plates, wrap them in padding of some sort (I use my tshirts and sweat pants to save place) and put them the most robust moving container you have. For example if you have IKEA type bags and hard shell plastic totes, but them in the hard shell plastic tote.

On a similar note, if you are bringing anything fragile or important (I try to keep these to a minimum, but I understand you may need some items like this) keep them in the front seat of your vehicle, label them as fragile, and make sure you are the one who unloads them. As a member of a Move in Squad, I’m not going to touch anything not in someone’s trunk/backseat, something that looks breakable, or something labeled fragile unless they work really hard to talk me into it. That’s big time scary for me. I for example place my medications and any important documents in my backpack, which goes onto my back and into my dorm room first thing.

If you are going to be living in a place where you will be responsible for or share responsibility for stocking the bathroom, go ahead and throw some soap/hand sanitizer and a roll of toilet roll into your backpack as well, so you do not have to worry about unpacking everything if you need to use the restroom while you are moving in.

Check your uni or apartments website for a list of what to bring and what is not allowed!

if you are traveling a from a good distance away and your uni is in a town with shops around, many people find it helpful to pack light and stock up once you get there. Pro tip: if you have time and there are multiple grocery stores nearby, I like to go the the one that is *2nd* closest to the university to avoid the back to campus crowds, which can sometimes be overwhelming.

Ask for help! There are probably going to be a lot of events for new students on and around campus to help integrate you into your University’s community! The folks helping you move in are probably trained to answer your questions, and definitely know where the important things are located! If you have a disability, neurodivergence, or mobility issues and are worried about the dorm move in experience contact the housing department at your university and they may be able to arrange move in at a different time for you, or provide you with extra time and assistance for move in!

Take care of yourself! Stay hydrated! Wear sunscreen if you will be outside! Get some rest when you have a chance during all the hustle and bustle of orientation.

Walk your classes if you can. It can be really helpful to get the hang of where your classes and buildings are located before the first day of class!

Take everything us internet geniuses say with a grain of salt! I keep seeing folks influencing and de-influencing about everything you need/don’t need for college all over social media! Every individual has different needs and every uni is in a different geographical location and has different dormitory arrangements! I see people saying ohhh you 100% need a water filter or ohh that’s crazy water filters are terrible. It depends on where you are and who you are! My Uni’s tap water is potable (not to brag) but apparently disgusting. I drink it from the faucet because I love our garbage water, but my roomies refuse too! This is just one example! In conclusion your RAs, RDs, and orientation leaders are there to help! You are going to do awesome! Also: Sending all the love and caffine in the world to all my fellow RAs, RDs, orientation leaders, support staff, TAs, custodians, volunteers, and box movers 🫡! I can’t wait for another awesome year.
