i have a problem that may not have a solution: university apartment mattress.
i have a memory foam topper (same one worked last year but it feels worse, so i assume the mattress is the issue), but with the topper it’s too soft and feels like it completely lacks support; without it it’s just too hard and i cannot lay comfortably. i have chronic back pain and i do not know how i will survive the year.
is there anything i can do to add more support without literally changing the mattress? it has been three days and i am already desperate.
thank you so much!
Sadly, not really. Support comes from the bottom, not the top. So the topper can’t help with back pain because it can’t add support, and the bed is it offering support if it’s rock hard.
If you’re willing to play the long game you might be able to get an accommodation for a better mattress if the school is providing a bed that a doctor rules unfit. But it would mean a lot of paperwork.
Next best look for free or cheap replacements online. College towns usually have a rotating cycle of beds that get swapped and given away.

Final headcanon for tonight! College au again
Keith and James, Keith being an anthropology/journalism dual major and James being a finance major with a minor in business, dont really have overlapping classes. They didn’t know eachother in first year when all the breadth electives were taken (and Keith was in a diff major then too, he switched halfway through sem 2), so the only real class time they get together after they start dating is coordinated breadth electives.
Its a shame the most interesting sounding elective they found turned out to be the most mind bogglingly boring 8AM, 3 hour long with no breaks and marked participation (iclicker anyone?) lecture ever. And they weren’t lucky enough to get their tutorials together (rip).
Keith doesn’t give a fuck so he shows up to class (James has to physically drag him out of bed every Thursday morning just for this class) and immediately just falls back asleep on James’ shoulder. James, being a sweetheart and also having a reputation to uphold, tries his very best to stay awake and to answer the questions that are projected for both him and Keith (he is single handedly carrying keith’s participation grade).
After the lecture, keith will walk james to his next class before going home to sleep more. Because god knows keith saw that horrific 3 hour long morning lecture and made sure the rest of the day was clear so he could sleep. James. James is a busy man, and clearly he doesn’t like taking breaks.
James will also often just give Keith the key to his dorm so he can sleep there, just because James’ dorm is much closer to the lecture hall than Keith’s (keith has to walk across the huge campus to go home whereas james’ dorm is pretty much right next to the building the lecture is held in) and he feels kind of bad making keith walk all the way back. Ryan gets pretty used to Keith’s presence pretty quickly. He’s not usually in the dorm by then though so it doesn’t matter so much either way. And keith thoroughly enjoys the top notch mattress topper and bedding set james has.
Most days james will come back to his room during the 4 hour long gap between his classes. Most of the time he’ll just work in silence and let keith continue to sleep after keith gets up to open the door for him, sometimes he’ll also be exhausted and climb into bed to cuddle and then also sleep.
Also small side note, sorry for lack of art lately ive been workinf on bigger jaith projects so i dont have so much time for smaller illustrations (ive been trying to make up for the lack of art with my writing lol). Ill try to drop something tmr though! For now take a sneak peek/wip

ugh just personal venting of a youngest child, it’s longer than i meant it to be i just needed to get it out. 
the gist of it is that i do appreciate the hand-me-downs i get from my family but i’m allowed to want new things for myself sometimes and i feel like my mom doesn’t see it that way.
my relationship with my mom has gotten (marginally) better over the years but some interactions still just hit me in a spot, man. now that i’m older i think i’m starting to understand the spots a little better, like why these things irritate me so much
i grew up getting hand-me-downs from my older sister. a mixed bag. because of our age difference (8 years) and because she didn’t take the best care of her stuff growing up, the stuff i received was often either “out of fashion” or kinda gross, or perhaps missing pieces or not in the best shape when it got passed down. not all the time, but yeah. anything i wanted, she had it first and if it was still working/functional, that would end up being mine and she’d get a new one.
clothes, hair dryer, hair straightener, the handle for my shaving razor, half-used perfumes and lotions, shoes, sporting equipment, bed frame, bed sheets, bed,  anything was fair game.
and from a parental perspective i do get it. not that my parents were ever anything close to “struggling” but i do get it. and as an adult who still gets hand-me-downs from my sister, i looooooooooove getting stuff from her now, because she buys herself really nice stuff and takes care of it well, so i end up with very nice things that i wouldn’t normally buy for myself.
but where the puzzle pieces fit together is that now, as a working adult, who lives with her fiance, i want to buy myself new things sometimes. like kitchen appliances, personal care items, household furniture and decor, etc. 
and my mom’s constant litany is “don’t buy anything brand new, we have a lot of extra things and we probably have what you need”.  that’s how i had my sister’s first-ever for college (gross, kind of functional) toaster for 10 years (replaced now with use of a jc penney gift card). and how i had that grody old razor handle for like 15 (replaced in a fit of frustration a few years ago). and how i didn’t have decent sharp kitchen knives until a couple years ago when a friend gifted us a nice set. how i was told not to buy a mop because they have an off-brand swiffer wet-jet that will do fine. they’re little things, but over time, there’s been so many.
and again i get it. i do believe it comes from a place of wanting to help me. not wanting me to have to spend money on certain things. i believe she has good intentions.
but the reason it.... hits me in a tough spot. is because it makes me feel like... i don’t deserve new things. and i’m not allowed to want new things. she’s raised me to be frugal and i’ve had bad spending times, but i like to think i’m doing well now, balancing budget with a little self-care once in a while.
and i’ve been talking about wanting a new mattress for a while. like five years. because i have a pillow-top mattress that i slept on for 7 years by myself and 8 more years with my fiance, so 15 years, when most pillow-tops are rated to last 7-10 years. we haven’t had a chance, financially, to buy one, because we’re financially responsible and understand that our bills and rent etc come first. i’m not asking her to buy me a new mattress, I’m just saying we’re looking for a new mattress soon. 
and she comes over with this massive (used) mattress topper, like positive that’s going to make the bed basically brand-new again. the mattress topper is nice, and i am grateful, and willing to give it a shot, which i said. but i don’t know if that’s going to be enough to make the bed comfortable for us, after 15 years of oddly-placed wear, which i also said. i’m not sure, i think we may need more support rather than more softness. 
and she starts asking about the bed frame we just got (50% off black friday baybeeee), whether its supportive enough because they fixed a mattress issue for my sister (like 25 years ago) by adding more support slats to her bed frame. which, our new bedframe has like 8 slats so it’s definitely supportive, plus we have a box spring too, which i explain.
so that’s when the switch flips. not as bad as it used to but still. “well does that mean you don’t want this? should I just take it back?” and i see the anger in her eyes and i’m fucking 8 years old again.
i reassure her that i’m grateful and that it will work well and i’m excited to have it and the moment passes and we move on. and she feels good that she’s given me something.
and i know she’s wanting to help and it’s coming from a good place but that switch gets me every time. 
and i’m left here feeling again, like i don’t deserve new things, and like it’s silly for me to wish to have new things.
i’m allowed to want new things, damn it.

First Year College Essentials
First Year College Essentials https://ift.tt/eKM62i9 While families know what to bring to college, it can take time to think about what to pack for the dorm room. Even though some items from home may help ease the transition, you’ll need more than just a laptop and bedding to survive the year. Here are some essential college supplies that you should bring.  Before packing anything, make sure that you talk to your school about what’s allowed and what isn’t. Most institutions have strict safety and health policies and varying rules depending on the location. For instance, one school may not allow microwaves, while another has specific regulations about the size of refrigerators. If you’re transferring to a university outside your home state, you should only pack what you need for the weather season.  At the same time, it may seem necessary, but finding a place for all your clothes can be challenging once you move into your quarters.  One way to save money on shipping while giving yourself more room to pack is to buy some items when you get to your new home. Talk to a fellow student about what to pack and how to make your living arrangements more comfortable in your new residence hall. They’ll be able to give you suggestions on what to bring and how to improve your living space. Before signing your housing contract, ensure all the necessary information is included. Doing so could affect your living situation in the long run. Bedding and Bath  A twin XL mattress is one of the most uncomfortable items in your dorm room. Fortunately, there are several ways to alleviate this issue, such as a good mattress topper or comforter. Try a reversible option if you’re planning on keeping a particular color scheme in your room. While your room may have various furniture pieces, you may also need a more oversized desk to complete late-night studies.  An alarm clock is another critical item you should bring to your dorm room. An alarm clock can help you wake up and get to class on time. It would help if you also packed organizers and storage containers. Organize your bedroom and closet with these storage solutions. They will help keep your things organized and out of sight when you have to focus on midterms and finals. Grooming Whether or not you’re in college, taking good care of yourself is a must. Having a shower caddy can help you carry all of your toiletries in one trip, and you should also be ready to deal with minor injuries should the health services office be closed. A first aid kit can also help you keep yourself safe.  If you’re new to the area, you can try giving yourself a haircut or hiring a friend to do it for you. A good grooming set can be ideal if you’re planning on doing this. An excellent cordless set is also a great alternative to having to untangle cords every time you want to change your look. According to studies, having a good self-care routine can help improve academic performance. Clothing and Laundry Most students are not excited about doing laundry in college, whether it involves loading and unloading clothes or folding them. Although it’s not the most exciting activity you’ll experience, doing it is necessary. Clothes can make your dorm room more convenient and help organize your clothes. These are great for displaying your favorite clothes while also keeping them organized.  While most students pay little attention to the brand of detergent that they use, Tide has an outstanding balance between keeping their clothes looking their best and keeping their structural integrity intact. A good detergent is one of the best ways to keep your clothes looking their best. This can help them last longer and keep them clean. In addition to this, other items can also help you develop a better appreciation for taking good care of your clothes.

Dorm Must-Haves for Every College Student
Tumblr media
We came up with a list of the most important dorm must-haves.
Sending your child off to school? Check out these dorm must-haves.
Sending your child off to college is stressful enough without having to think about all their dorm must-haves. But, the sooner you face the reality that your baby will be living on their own on a college campus, the better, because they will certainly be in need of quite a bit of “stuff.” We did a little research and came up with the top 15 items that your college student shouldn’t live without as they venture into dorm room life.
Tumblr media
There are many necessities when you are living life in a dorm.
Mattress topper
You just never know what you are getting into with these dorm beds. A mattress pad will ensure a good night’s sleep every night. Make sure you get one that is thick and fits a twin bed.
Towel wrap
You will get used to bringing your shower items to and from the bathroom every single time you have to take a shower, but what you won’t get used to is that cumbersome towel. The towel wrap takes care of this issue. It’s comfortable and functions well while you haul that bathroom caddy to and fro.
Blackout curtains
College students need good sleep, and that cannot be overstated enough. With late-night activities and sometimes not getting to bed until 4 a.m., blackout curtains will ensure uninterrupted sleep for not only sleeping at night and into the mornings, but for naps, as well.
10-foot phone charger
Who knows where the plugs will be in a dorm room? Outlets can be hard to come by! The odds that they will be in a convenient location are slim to none, so plan ahead and purchase a 10-foot phone charger so that the phone isn’t confined to one small space while it charges.
Small fan
Some college dorms may not have air conditioning. A small fan will keep your college student from literally losing it when they are already stressed about classes and have to come back to sleep in a hot room.
Extension cord and power strip
I can promise you that there won’t be enough plugs for all of your child’s (and their roommate’s) stuff in the dorm room. An extension cord and power strip are absolutely essential!
Mesh shower caddy
The shower caddy will become the one thing you might use the most in college. Get a good one and make sure it drains well. You might have to experiment with this and try a couple different ones to see what works best, but make sure it is also large enough to hold all your things.
Plastic shower shoes
You simply can’t enter a college dorm bathroom without shoes on. I repeat: You simply can’t enter a college dorm bathroom without shoes on. It really doesn’t matter what you get, but you need to wear plastic flip flops or something in the shower and at all times in the bathroom.
Make sure you check with the specific dorm on any other necessary essentials. You may or may not need to purchase a small refrigerator. Also, check with the potential roommate on any large items that you may not need two of. Getting your child ready to live on their own for the first time will feel a bit overwhelming, but with a little planning, you can make sure they are off to a great start with all the dorm must-haves.

P.H: Confession #39209
Pairing: Pope Heyward x reader
Summary: All the pogues are going away to college but will your feelings for a certain human secretions specialist go away too?
Songs: That Summer Feeling by Jonathan Richman, Gloves for garbage by Damaged Bug, Friends of P. by The Rentals
Warnings: alcohol, drug usage, swearing, going to uni, a sandflea? If there’s anything you guys would like me to take let me know!!
WC: 3,183
A/N: This is extremely overdue (this motherfucker has been in my drafts for a WHOle YEAR!!! I hope you enjoy it as always!! I appreciate feedback and requests!!!
Tumblr media
It was the last big party before all the pogues go off to college. Sadly, the group was finally being split up, but hopefully not forever. You decided to send your ass off to go to art school in Chicago, Kie was accepted to Standford, Pope is flying to Boston University, JB is attending a community college in North Carolina, and hell they even managed to get JJ into a local trade school. It had been the best summer of your entire life, but there was one thing that weighed on your heart, you were madly in love with Pope and you've never had the guts to tell him. 
You had known each other since the third grade. You became acquainted in the principal's office after you beat the shit out of Topper for slapping a book out of Pope's hands. Both of your parents managed to hit it off too and would lend their child labor, you, to the Heywards and the Heywards would lend their child labor, Pope, to your parents whenever they needed help. You two were practically conjoined at the hip. No one ever saw one without the other. It was always Y/N and Pope or Pope and Y/N. Pope would later introduce you to JJ and John B and you would introduce all of the meatheads to Kiara. After the gang was officially formed, that's when all the mischief began and that's what you guys were known for. Always fucking shit up or blowing shit up or bringing shit to life.
You made multiple attempts throughout the summer to confess your feelings, but the boy was still as clueless as ever. Sometimes you just wanted to grab him by his shirt and scream it in his face but when you would take the first steps to do it the nerves would hold you back. Every instance always ended the same. The light would be hitting him just right or he would just be warmly staring up at you. You'd always start it off with "I have a confession to make" and you would be able to see the intrigue light up in his eyes and he'd say something along the lines of "Oh really? What is it?". You then would barf up a lame answer of "Remember when-" and continue to tell him you caught his favorite hoodie on fire and replaced it or how you'd been the one stealing his lunch that one week a hundred years ago. 
"So... Are you gonna tell 'em?" Kie asks as she tossed herself down on your bed full of clothes. She has been egging you on since summer started and has become even more persistent as summer is coming to a close.
"Please, tell me you are!" She pleads, grabbing your arms and pulling down with her onto the crummy mattress. 
"Ugh, Kie, you already know I won't" you sighed, pushing yourself into a sitting position with your legs crossed underneath you. Kiara rolled her eyes at you and mimics the same position you are in and begins tugging at the clothes she was on and folding them before she placed them in the suitcase.
You had been stalling on packing all week and now only had a day before your departure to get everything stowed away. Now, seeing your relatively empty bedroom, you started to regret your decision about going so far away. From now on everything’s going to be different and everyone’s going to change. Even the ones that say they won’t always come back a little different whether it be a new haircut or clothes you never come back exactly the same. Seeing Kiara’s concerned face you shake the feeling from your mind and begin to get to work.
After you and Kie manage to shove all your clothes into the suitcase, you motion for her to jump onto the suitcase so you can attempt to close it. 
"This is your last chance! You just gotta!" Kie followed your orders and threw herself onto it, but before you can reach for the zipper she grabbed you by your shoulders and added "You have to tell him tonight!" 
"You are supposed to be helping the pack, not annoying me!" You playfully shoved her off the suitcase and onto the bed once you seal it shut. She feigns distress, something you can only roll your eyes at.
"Whatever, loser, we have to go help the knuckleheads set up anyways" Kiara jumps off the bed and pulled you along with her to go see the boys. 
When you two got to the Boneyard it was a mess. The boys were terrorizing each other with sand and the twinkie has yet to be unloaded. 
“Guys, what the fuck!?” Kie shouted at them using her “mom” voice and they all froze in place, even you. This voice was reserved for only true fuck ups and it was the most terrifying thing anyone could ever hear. The boys exchanged questionable glances to one another before Pope started running towards JJ again, with something obviously in his hand. JJ with wide eyes booked it, running right for you and Kiara. He immediately grabbed you and used you as a human shield against whatever the hell Po was holding. 
“What the fuck are you doing?” You tried to break out from his grasp as he maneuvers your body to block Pope. 
“Tell him to get the fuck away from me!” JJ cowers behind you when Pope stuck out his hand right in your face to reveal a sand flea. 
“Oh, fuck” You immediately threw yourself backward into JJ and begin to fight over who’s going to be the human shield. Both you and JJ had a fear of these little creatures, because of JJ’s dad. He told you that they will crawl into your head through your ears and eat your brain and that was enough to send you two spiraling in fear. Also, they looked gross. 
“You gotta be kidding me!” Kie huffed and left you two fumbling on the ground to go start unloading the van. 
“C’mon Pope, it isn’t funny” JB grabbed the sand flea from Pope’s hand and tossed it to the side. Finally, allowing you guys to relax on the sand.
“Or is it?” JB still had the flea and threw it at you. He doubled over in laughter watching you leap into Pope’s embrace. 
“It’s not on me is it?” you whimpered hugging him tighter. 
“No you’re good” He chuckled looking you over and dusting some sand off your back.
“You sure?” You looked up at him still not letting him go.
“I promise” Pope reassured you rubbing your back soothingly to calm you down. At that moment it came up again, should you profess your undying love for your best friend? No one was around, the waves calmly lapped against the sand, and the sun was beginning to set behind him creating a halo effect. You could feel the courage strong in your chest and you were finally ready.
"Pope, I have a confession to make" you pull away slightly so you could get a better look at his face.
"If it's that you have been stealing my--" 
“No, just listen to me, please” You promptly cut him off as the sudden courage could wear off any second. As soon as you opened your mouth to continue, Kiara’s exasperated voice rang out.
“Pope go help JJ and Y/N come here right now!” 
All the confidence you had deflated immediately.
“We’ll talk later okay?” Pope promised and you weakly nodded your head, as he gave you a quick hug before leaving reluctantly. 
Kie put you to work immediately and you were semi-grateful as it helped take your mind off of Pope. Yet, you couldn’t help but think maybe it was a sign from god to keep interrupting you in the midst of confessing your feelings? Should you just get over it and grow up?
The persistent questions weighed heavy on your heart.
“I’ll take that!” Pope swooped in and snatched the case of shitty beer from your grasp.
“Jesus!” You nearly jumped out of your skin at his sudden appearance. 
“Not him but close” He gave you a cheeky smile and you playfully rolled your eyes at him. 
“Whatever, at least let me help” You held out your hand and did the grabby hand motion. Pope skeptically thought about it for a second before nodding his head and letting you hold the other end of the beer case. On your walk back to the party, Pope told you about some of the people who showed up and who’s going to what university. Between his little quips and watching the sea of people interacting with one another, a familiar uneasiness washed over you. 
“Is it too late to go to school here?” You stopped in your tracks, suddenly, as the feeling became overbearing. 
“Woah, Woah” He took the end that you were holding and set the case down on the sand “What are you talking about?” His hands landed on your shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze.
“I don’t know I just---” You could feel your heart rate start to pick up and your breathing becomes more distressed. 
"You're gonna kick ass in Chicago, Y/N'' Pope quickly regained your attention and pulled you into his signature "Security Hug" to ground you. He'd been the one to encourage you enough to actually submit your portfolio to them in the first place because he knew how much you wanted to go. All you needed was a little push. You were glad that he did, but now seeing everyone for potentially the last time had sent you into a spiral. He rubbed your back in slow circular patterns while whispering reassuring words into your ear. 
“Thanks, Po” you smiled at him. An overwhelming urge to kiss him suddenly settled within you.
“No worries, that’s why I’m here” the way his face scrunched up into a smile made the feeling intensify and you finally decided to let your actions speak for themselves. You were halfway into connecting your lips to his when a whirlwind of guys from his AP Chemistry class pulled him away and left you awkwardly leaning forward with slightly puckered lips. He caught your eyes and gave you an apologetic look. You were riddled with embarrassment and now you could only hope that you could wash it away with a couple of hundred shots.
“Did you tell him yet?” 
You were downing your third cup of god-awful beer when the voice startled you. It made you accidentally inhale the remaining liquid which promptly sent you into a coughing fit.
“Oh my god! John B!” You finally managed to say after the coughing and his amused laughter subsided. “And no I didn’t-- How did you--” You could barely finish your sentence before you both shared a knowing look.
“Kiara,” you said in unison and buried your face into the beer-infused palms of your hands. JB threw an arm over your shoulders and roughly brought you closer to him.
“There, there, kid. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. It’s actually kinda cute?” 
“I’m older than you” You try, to no avail, to break away from his sweaty embrace “You think anyone else knows?” you stood crushed to his side.
“Oh yeah, the whole island has known since like… Forever” He chuckled and you couldn’t help but groan.
“Does he know?” He loosened his grip around you and reached around you to get himself another drink. 
“Fuck no, he knows shit but he doesn’t know shit, y’know like me or J” He surveyed the crowd. You could tell he was looking for a distraction. The poor boy was taking the breakup with the kook princess pretty hard.
“Smooth, JB, smooth” You rolled your eyes at the brunette and gave him a playful jab with your elbow. His gaze was soon caught by a girl with faded purple hair and you knew you already lost him. 
“Just take your time and only do it if you’re comfortable, yeah?” His voice became distant as his mind was already somewhere else. The girl dared JB to make a move and with that, he gave you a half-hearted pat on your shoulder before trailing after the vacationer.
“Thanks a lot, bird shit” you called after him and he flipped you the bird without sparing you a second glance. Asshole. You had hoped that the alcohol would have kicked in by now, but you were still painfully sober. The alcohol in your system did nothing to soothe your nerves so you sought help from your favorite salt-lifer. 
The sun was almost gone now as you fought your way through the crowd. The only remnants of the sun left were barely visible in the glowing water. You didn’t think looking for him would be difficult but you were always out to disappoint yourself. The search for the golden boy got increasingly confusing as each person you asked about JJ’s whereabouts pointed you in a new direction. Out of frustration, you let yourself slump against one of the many logs that were strewn about. Your eyes lazily moved from one vaguely familiar face to another. It wasn’t until a while later that you caught sight of Pope. He sat on top of a pile of trees as he talked at length to a girl sitting too close to comfort next to him. You could feel the familiar pull at your stomach as you watched his face contour into laugher at whatever the girl said. It was only for a second though as a wave of determination washed over you. It wasn’t strong enough to send you marching over there, but it was enough to spring you into finding JJ again. This time it didn’t take long. He was cooly leaning against one of the dead trunks trying to act nonchalant while he chatted with a cute redhead.
"I need a hit" you mumbled in JJ's ear. You cowered behind his massive frame to try and not distract him too much from his ongoing conversation. Yet, the touron he was talking to still did not seem pleased at your sneaky attempts.
"What for?" He quickly whispered back trying to keep most of his attention on the person in front of him.
"I'm nervous" you wring your hands in an attempt to ease yourself.
"About what? Wait are you--" he quickly spun around shifting his entire attention to you and away from the touron.
"Yeah…” You kick around some of the sand at your feet failing to meet his gaze.
“Oh my god! Dude, Finally!” JJ laughed and threw you into a hug. He seems to be giddier about this than you were. “God, I’m so proud of you right now!” He continued and pulled away from you to rummage around in his pockets. The touron made a sly attempt to regain JJ’s attention but failed miserably. You gave them an apologetic glance, but they only rolled their eyes at you. Once he found his trusty vape pen, that you all collectively deemed the “flash drive”, he tossed it to you. The inhaled smoke in your lungs felt familiar yet foreign as your lungs grew to accept each new puff. You could feel the pit in your stomach relax by your last puff and you handed it back to him. 
“I just saw him head over to the twinkie, so you better go make your move, shithead” He put the flash drive in between his lips as he quickly straightened your shirt and tousled your hair.
“Thanks, dude”
“Whatever, now go make us proud” and with that, he pushed you in the twinkie’s general direction.
When you finally fought your way through the crowd you saw Pope sprawled out on top of the vehicle. 
"Hey, Poe" you greeted him once you got yourself on the roof of the van. He gathered his limbs and scooched over to make some room for you to lay down. The cool metal arose goosebumps all over your bare skin as you laid down. While the flash drive immensely drove away the nerves, you still couldn’t bring yourself to look at him. You didn’t want to see his face when he tells you he doesn’t feel the same way.
“I, uh, have a confession to make and I promise this is the last one” you kept your eyes focused on the abyss that held the night sky.
“Yeah? What is it this time?” He rolled over to face you; he sounded tired from the Boneyard party. You took in a deep breath and prayed to your ancestors that you weren't about to make the biggest mistake of your life.
“I fucking love you. I have loved you ever since we got sent to the principal’s office in the third grade and--- and I felt like I needed to tell you before I leave tomorrow.” You could tell he was expecting something humorous as he laid beside you wide-eyed. His silence was overbearing and was beginning to fray away at the little confidence you had the longer it went on. 
“Like, I totally get if you don’t feel the same I just...” You cut yourself off when the view of the stars above you was blocked by Pope as he leaned over you. He then tenderly connected his lips to yours and you more than eagerly kissed him back. Your hands immediately went around his neck to bring him closer. It was sweet and delicate. It was something you longed for and it was absolutely everything you could have even dreamed of. It was cruelly interrupted though by the bickering that surrounded the twinkie. 
“Can you see anything?” JJ’s voice rang loud and clear.
“Shut up!” Kie hissed back at him and they still had the audacity to act surprised when your and Pope’s head came into view on Kiara’s phone.
“What the fuck you guys!” You shouted exasperated at them for ruining the idyllic moment that you’ve waited so long for.
“What? We just wanted to see if you made your move, but I guess---” You cut him off by throwing your jacket at him.
“I can’t believe you guys would stoop this low” Pope scoffed as he jumped off the roof of the van. He quickly turned around and helped you get off safely. 
“Whatever, love birds” Kie snickered and tossed your jacket back to you before she ran off towards the party with JJ. Pope pulled the van’s side door open and plopped himself on the carpeted floor.
"Y’know, I did think all those confessions did mean something” he chuckled as he leaned against one of the back seats.
“Yeah, right!” you rolled your eyes with a smile before crawling over to Pope and making yourself comfortable on his lap. “How about we give this another shot, shall we?” you continued and wrapped your arms around his neck once again. Pope answered by eagerly rolling the rusted door closed.

College packing tips, because I have ✨opinions✨
This isn’t gonna be all inclusive instead just a list of thing to think about that might not be on a standard list
It got really long so I added a read more lol
long and the short of it is consider if you can buy it easily from college if you aren't gonna need it right away, that way you keep down on bringing so much stuff
but also if it is gonna make you happy, honestly do bring it. like college is different enough, you can keep some things the same
Most college beds are extra long, so don't get the wrong sheets
mattress toppers are godsends imo but they can be expensive so don't stress too much about it if u can't
on that note i also adore my ugg comforter its so damn soft
Bring the documents you might need to get a job! If you have a passport this is the best choice because it is the most easily replaceable, but a (certified) copy of your birth certificate *and* your social security card also works (you need both)— obviously not everyone works in college but it’s still good to have the option
Check the I9 list online if you’re not sure what counts
Yes you should bring a little set of tupperware and a single set of dishes/silverware — sometimes you just wanna make ramen or order takeout whatnot so it’s nice to have some containers
On that note, I would pick a little electric kettle over a microwave or a fridge— it’s cheap, not a fire hazard like a microwave (check your college’s rules! some are fine with it some aren’t) and you can make all sorts of stuff with boiling water—namely, ramen and hot chocolate/tea
If you don’t like the 50 cent ramen they have slightly more expensive ramen that I do think is better— personal choice tho you do you
Some dorms have stuff you can use/share and some don’t, so it might be better to hold off on buying some things until you get there—my dorm has a communal vacuum, kitchen and box of trash bags, for example
If you wanna be the og, after you put up a command hook for your coat by/on the door, leave it there for the next person. Or don’t, you do you.
Don’t forget an umbrella. Pref one that shrinks down and has a little strap for your wrist
If you use wooden pencils, you also need a pencil sharpener. Battery operated little ones usually aren’t too expensive
Bring meds like Tylenol, Advil, cough drops, prob mucinex, and neosporin, and share them if people ask (don’t forget prescriptions too!) — however, if you’re looking to pack light, you can also just buy them at a cvs or walgreens as needed (but remember, if you’re in quarantine that may be harder than u think)
HDMI cord (and adapter if you’re a stinky MacBook user) (that is a joke, MacBook users are not stinky) so that you can attach your computer to monitors, tvs and the like (I wouldn’t buy a new one just for college tho, just pack one if you’ve got a spare)
Paper towels. Can also buy these when there tho, just nice to have
Tissues. Same as above.
A laundry hamper that you can carry with you down to the washing machines all in one go (don’t get like a hamper and a bag, for example cause you’re not gonna want to do that transfer). I would also recommend something that only holds one load of laundry if you’re only ever gonna do one load at a time, and that it is small enough to fit under the bed
I like tide pods cause they’re idiot proof, but that’s a personal preference.
The next few bullets are gonna be about cold weather shit, because I go to school in New Hampshire but live in Virginia— therefore there was quite a difference in winter temperatures — these only apply if you’re also going somewhere hella cold
You might not need your heavy duty coat until after thanksgiving but you should have a coat or layers that are warm enough to tolerate down to like 30 even before thanksgiving
My coat complement was as follows: one thin pullover, one sweatshirt, one waist-length Patagonia that was pretty good in a lot of temps, one knee length Patagonia with a hood that is very very warm.
With these, I would usually wear the waist length Patagonia down to 30, double with the sweatshirt down to 25, and switch over to the knee length below that. If you’re not in the cold for very long the waist length will do without the sweatshirt until as low as 20 if you walk fast and have accessories
Speaking of accessories, you need a nice hat and some gloves. I personally liked the fairly thin driving style gloves for most everyday stuff, because you could actually do things with them and they were pretty much enough for most activities unless you were literally playing in the snow
These made every coat so much warmer.
Shop for coats in the summer when they’re on sale and search around— they don’t need to break the bank but I would opt to splurge on this over pretty much anything else specifically for the knee length coat. You can also layer more tho if yours isn’t as warm, and that works too!
I wore a mask outside instead of a scarf cause that was easier but that’s personal preference
I don’t really go out so this doesn’t apply to me really but lots of people have a “fracket” — a cheaper jacket meant to be used between parties that you don’t care if it gets stolen as much
If you see people wearing Canada goose jackets they are insanely rich. Keep that in mind when meeting people who may otherwise seem mostly normal. (No, not all rich people are assholes but it’s something to keep in mind)
Don’t forget to bring warm weather clothes for the start tho!! It’ll still be warm in September and buildings up here don’t always have AC
Yes, bring your stuffed animals. If your roommate judges you they can fuck off and mind their own business.
Shoes: similarly based on it being cold and snowy as hell in the winter, may not apply
A pair of comfy hiking boots/shoes will probably be more useful than straight snow boots on most days, though if you have those you can def bring after thanksgiving/christmas
Hiking boots are the second thing I’d recommend you splurge on for high quality if you can
However, while nature works hard, northern snowplows on golf carts work harder so usually you won’t be literally trudging through snow unless it’s actively snowing. They plow the sidewalks too here usually, which is why you can get by without snow boots if you want
You do need some kind of comfy everyday shoe that is both waterproof and non-slip tho because there will be ice
Speaking of which, if it is below freezing that is not a puddle. You should not remotely trust any wet spots on the pavement or you *will* end up immediately on your ass.
Otherwise, bring flip flops, sneakers and dress shoes if you have them (for the few times you will need to dress up, or if you wanna make a less dressy outfit immediately a little more formal)
You shouldn’t need to buy anything new tho just bring the shoes you have/wear at home
Oh and shower shoes. Spend like zero dollars on them tho
I have generally not needed a tv tho I do have a second monitor for my laptop (those are usually cheaper than tvs) which was a godsend when we were semi-virtual my freshman year but doesn’t get used as often now
Don’t buy the books until after you start your classes but also check the library (online and physical) because sometimes they have them available for free
Actually before buying any piece of media (movies and whatnot included) check to see if they have it first, some schools have a movie library or even video games and consoles
Not related to what to bring but after you finish your classes leave an honest description of them on rate my professor or the college-specific review website—and use those websites when choosing classes too
However, remember that people are more likely to leave reviews when things go badly, so especially take things like evaluations of niceness of the prof with a grain of salt
Instead, look at workload, style of the class, content, etc to see if it lines up with what you assumed from the course description, and then go from there.
Generally assume that there is no such thing as a truly easy class, so searching for only the easy classes won’t really get you anywhere. Things are easier when you actually like the content, usually.
You don’t need as many school supplies as you did in high school— if you write notes for every class you’ll need a notebook for each, some pencils/whatever tools you usually use to take the notes, and maybe like one folder or binder to leave in your dorm for printouts and whatnot
If you want to print every reading ever you might need another binder, but wait to buy that until you’re actually doing the readings because that depends a lot on the class
Speaking of which you do need a backpack for college but def make sure it’s the right size for that updated list of supplies ^^^ mine was way too big and I was gifted a smaller one so that’s what I use, you do you

A long time ago I made a list of tips for high school back when I finished high school but I wanna make some Dorm Living Tips for any incoming college freshmen/first years now that I’ve lived in dorms for a couple years
1. Try and find your schools dorm handbook online before you move in. It will probably be in the same place online as all the other dorm stuff. Read through it and see what you can and can’t bring before you shop.
2. Get off Pinterest. You’re not gonna be able to do half of what the “dorm inspo” on there does. Unless you’re going to some stupid nice college or something. If you have an aesthetic in mind from there, try to tone it down but keep similar vibes.
3. You’re not gonna need an umbrella. Get a hooded jacket instead, like a windbreaker or a hooded tracksuit.
4. Don’t try to put any tv bigger than 32 inches in your dorm. Just don’t. Tbh with what furniture they have in the dorms tvs in general are kinda a pain, but, it’s up to you.
5. Get a first aid kit, or make one, and stock the HELL out of it. You can get a pre made one at most stores with all your basic wound care stuff but you’re also gonna want meds. Get two different kinds of pain reliever, stuff for basic ailments like cough drops, cold meds, stomach issues. You never know when something might happen to your or a friend.
6. Be prepared for the fact you might not even have access to a microwave. My dorm doesn’t allow any cooking appliances, only kettles. Many dorms have similar rules. Get stuff you can cook with a kettle, or requires no cooking at all.
7. Research the weather where your college is. There might be some clothes that will never be suited for the climate, and will just take space in your drawers.
8. On clothes, you do not need as much clothes as you think you do. Keeping low on clothes also means you won’t have monstrous laundry loads to deal with.
9. Have activities on hand that do not require a screen. Board games, card games, some sort of craft, etc. You’ll be doing a lot of work on screens and having something else to do will help with eyestrain and burnout. Also, it’s always good to have activities to do with friends.
10. Get a mattress topper. Dorm mattresses aren’t monstrously uncomfortable, but they tend to be firm. You’ll want a snuggly bed.
11. Don’t do all your shopping before move in. You can always buy more things later online. Get at least the necessities, organizing things and some stuff to make the room look nice. Once you realize what you need, then get it.
12. Get a fan. A big one if your dorm doesn’t have AC, a small one if it does. You do NOT want to be at the mercy of when maintenance decides to change the thermostat.
13. Basic cleaning supplies are a must. Wipes, spray cleaner, and a battery powered mop/vacuum. They sell little ones, for whatever kind of floor you dorm has. Odds are, your dorm is tiled.
14. Make sure to have a nice work life balance and make the best of this new part of your life!

Netflix & Chill - Topper Thornton
Request: I just binge read all ur Topper stuff and now I'm in my Topper feels and can I pleaseee request Topper smut? I love how you write him and ur Rafe smut is literally my fave!! xo
A/N: Got this inspo for this from someone literally posting on the college messageboard for someone to watch Netflix with them.
Outer Banks Masterlist
✰ ✰ ✰ ✰
-anyone wanna watch some Netflix?-
You stared at the post on the college message board, trying to get a decent look at the kid who posted without clicking on their student profile. 
“What are you doing?” Your roommate asked, getting off her bed and coming over to see what you were looking at on your phone. 
“This post,” you tilted the phone her way, “is it crazy that I was kinda considering it?”
“Yes. You don’t know this kid, what if he’s a creep?” 
“I don’t know...what if he’s really cool?” You shrugged, clicking on the reply. 
“No!” She tried to snatch the phone but you slid off the bed, moving over to your desk and pushing your chair in front of you as you replied to his message. 
-I will, where are you?-
“No, do not go to some random guy’s dorm, you don’t know him! He could be a total weirdo!” Your roommate stressed. 
“Too late,” you stepped on the chair and moved around her, grabbing her shoulders to shift her out of the way as you grabbed your sandals and made for the door. “I’ll see you later!” 
You knew it was a little crazy to be showing up at some guys dorm after he randomly posted on the school message board but you were new, not just to college but to the state and with everything being virtual you couldn’t help feeling a little more disconnected than usual. The reasonable voice of your mother rang in the back of your head as you pulled open the door to the building he told you he was in, telling you that this was how people got sick and died. By not being cautious. 
“113, 113...113.” You mumbled as you came up to the door, knocking gently. What if someone else offered to come over too? You should’ve checked to see if he left the message up. He could open the door and tell you to leave, that he got a better option. But that was crazy, that was just you reading too much into the situation. 
“Hey,” the smile on his face was so easy it actually had you feeling a whole lot better, “I’m Topper.” 
“Hey.” You introduced yourself, stepping into the room when he opened the door wider. 
“My roommate’s already home for the weekend so I figured...ya know.” 
“Yeah, honestly I like my roommate but we’ve been cooped up together for a week so I’m kinda dying for a change.” You replied. Sitting in your dorm all day with headphones on doing school work wasn’t really the idea you had of college this year. 
“I get that,” he nodded. 
You couldn’t deny that things felt the slightest bit awkward, like neither of you were really sure how to proceed next. He moved over to the tv, grabbing the Apple remote while you stood in the middle of the room, unsure if you should just sit on the bed or not. 
“Any preferences?” 
“Not really, whatever you wanna put on.” You replied, silently reminding yourself not to get so in your head as you took a seat on the bed, resting your back against the wall. 
He put on Friends from a random episode in the third season, probably where he’d left of last and that had you thinking maybe he’d done this before. Of course, one look at him had you thinking he’d definitely done this before. 
Topper handed you a water as he sat down beside you on the bed. The whole thing felt a little awkward but you supposed that was how it went. It wasn’t like you were both drunk, hooking up in someone’s bathroom at a party. When he did the casual arm over the shoulder halfway through the first episode of Friends you bit the inside of your cheek to stop from laughing and ruining the whole thing. You scooted a little closer, leaning in a little more in hopes that would get your point across. Unless you were reading into this wrong you were pretty sure that you had interpreted the message the right way.  
When the third episode started to play you figured making a fool of yourself might be totally worth it. “Are we like...actually watching Netflix?”
“What?” Topper asked, turning just enough that he could face you, arm still around your shoulders.  
“I’m sorry...I just, when you said, anyone wanna watch Netflix I thought you meant like...ya know, netflix and chill...like...is that not what this is?” You asked.
Thinking on his feet Topper nodded, “yeah, yeah, that’s totally what this is I just...didn’t want to rush the pace.”
In truth, he had honestly been bored out of his mind laying around in his room and figured he would put himself out there and see what came of it. He hadn’t expected anyone to respond and when you did he had clicked on your profile to get a better look at your picture. Cute, definitely his type, even more so when he opened the door and you were standing there for real. He had taken a bit of a bold chance with the arm around the shoulder, maybe this could turn into something more...but he definitely wasn’t expecting you to make any kind of move. And definitely not that one.
“Admirable,” you teased, “but I think we can rush it a little bit.” You wouldn’t have cared if he never turned the TV on to begin with.  
“Right.”  
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant you grabbed his face in your hands, pulling him forward and kissing him. His arm dropped to your back and tried to pull you closer, forcing you to shift around on your knees until you were straddling him, basically sitting in his lap with his back against the wall.  
Topper’s hands pushed up your sweatshirt and slipped underneath it, running up your bare sides as he realized you hadn’t worn a bra over to his dorm. Definitely not what he was expecting but he made the most of it. While you kissed him, tongue running along his lower lip, Topper cupped your breasts. His thumbs brushed against your nipples, finding himself rewarded with the softest of whimpers that passed through your lips.  
You moved your hands down his chest and abs, enjoying the way his muscles tensed and then relaxed at your touch. You pulled away long enough to pull your sweatshirt off, tossing it on the other bed in the dorm. His shirt went next, you pulled it off while he was still taking in the sight of you topless, sitting in his lap.  
“I should mention,” Topper said as you leaned forward, brushing your lips against his neck and collar, your fingers brushing against the skin at the waistband of his sweatpants, “I don’t usually do hookups like this.” Even as he said it his hands kneaded your breasts. The sound of Rachel and Joey’s banter dying in the background as he let himself get drawn into the moment.  
“Me neither.” You confessed, lifting your head to look at him. You kissed him, a softer peck then all the others had been.  
You climbed off his lap, careful not to fall off the bed and embarrass yourself. Shifting around on your knees you nudged Topper, smiling when he took the hint and laid down. You got off the bed and pulled your tights and underwear off before straddling Topper. Just the way he looked at you had your heart racing. He said he’d never done something like this and even though you could hear your roommate’s voice in the back of your head telling you he was probably lying you didn’t care. All you cared about was this.  
“God, you’re really fucking beautiful.” Topper compliments, hands running your ass and gripping the backs of your thighs as you leaned down to kiss him.  
“You sound so cliche.” You teased, lips brushing against his. With one hand pressed into the mattress to keep yourself steady, your other hand ran back down his stomach, slipping beneath the waistband of his sweatpants. You rub your hand over him, pressing down just enough to elicit a moan, your mouth kissing along his jaw and down his neck.  
Topper tilted his head back, giving you more access to the canvas of his skin, sucking a bruise at the base of his throat. You rubbed over him once more before pushing your hand beneath the elastic band of his briefs. He sucked in a breath when you wrapped your fingers around his dick, your thumb running over the tip, smearing precum.  
“Holy shit.” He moaned as moved your hand up and down slowly, constricted slightly by his underwear. You’d never in your life wanted so badly to kiss every inch of a person. You sat up, backing up so you could push down his sweatpants and underwear, bunching them around his knees. It wasn’t the most romantic thing in the world but at the moment you didn’t give a shit.  
You braced yourself with one hand, wrapping your hand around the base of his dick and leaning down to slide the tip into your mouth. He groaned, eyes rolling at the feeling of your mouth on him as he reached down to grip your hair. You definitely weren’t an expert at giving head and you had never volunteered so eagerly before but there was something about Topper that had your head swimming in the best way. You pressed your tongue flat against the underside of his dick and licked up, swirling around the tip before taking him into your mouth again. His hand pushed against your head, keeping you in place as he thrust up, the feeling of him practically hitting the back of your throat had you moaning around his dick. A moment later he was pulling you off him, tugging at your hair to guide you up to your knees. You took the hint, hands on his abs as you kneeled up again. He trailed his hands back up to your hips as you sunk down on him, whimpering at the feeling.  
It’d been a while since you had sex and you’d never been on top before but god were you loving the feeling of it. You grind down on him slowly, finding a rhythm as Topper holds you, fingers digging into your hips, bruising. When he thrust up into you, you moaned, the feeling so strong your hand hit the wall beside you to keep you from falling over.  
Topper grinned, clearly smug. “That feel good baby?” he asked, the shift in control almost palpable. You bit your lip, nodding as your eyes met him. “Hold onto the headboard.”
You do as he says, gripping the headboard above him, eyes dazed as you stared down at him. For a split second you almost began to wonder what was gonna happen when this was over but before you could even fully form that though Topper was thrusting up into you, practically lifting your knees off the bed like it was nothing and you were a mess at the feeling.  
“Oh my-” you moaned, “I’m close.”
“Shit, yeah,” Topper’s voice was strained, “touch yourself?”
You gripped the headboard tighter as you moved one hand, reaching down to slip your fingers between your folds, middle finger circling your clit and making you spaz just as he thrust up. The rhythm was getting sloppier as he got closer and his grip on your hips was almost brutal. You clenched around him, and he groaned at the feeling of you cumming. You grab his wrist, holding tight as he lifts you off of him and you spaz from the sudden loss of him inside you. Trying to hold yourself up, you lean back on your calves, letting go of the headboard to hold his thigh as he pumps his hand over his dick a couple times before shooting cum onto your stomach.  
He laughs when you stick your tongue out, caught off guard at the sudden. His grip on your hip loosened as he sat himself up, careful to help you readjust as he did. “You good?”
“Yeah, awesome.” You replied, voice hazy, maybe even a little sleepy. The soft lull of the TV caught your attention for a moment and you looked over at the screen as Joey entered the apartment, “I love this episode.”
“We can start it over,” He promised, shifting out from under you and pushing his pants all the way down so he didn’t fall completely on his ass and embarrass himself in front of you. He grabbed tissues from Kelce’s side of the room and you watched as he cleaned you up.  
“Sorry,” you said, moving over in bed when he climbed in, covering both of you with his comforter as you rested your head against his chest. “I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do next.”  
“I got all afternoon, let's just see what happens?”
You hummed, “sounds good.”
