my RAs hate each other

i already put a dent in my wall with a yo-yo

(don’t ask)

and the guys in the room next to me invited me to the dining hall 

but they’re just texting each other

i think they’re talking about me

 

George

The first day I moved in I literally snapped my bedframe in half trying to loft it

And the washer shrunk all my clothes so I had to wear a full suit to my first day of class

Make sure you do your laundry on the cold setting.

full suit

Tie and everything.

You’re doing pretty well all things considered, I think.

You’re my baby cousin, that’s impossible.

Being fabulous is genetic

Maybe they are intimidated by your fabulousness?
