Lawrence Bishnoi vs Davinder Bambiha: A college rivalry leaves India and Canada in a diplomatic row | Chandigarh News

NEW DELHI: When one thinks of student politics, JNU or DU often come to mind. Who’d have thought that a bid to control the Students Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU), a students’ outfit, would start a trail of killings that has now culminated in strained relations between India and Canada.Last week, when the relationship between the two countries had reached a flashpoint, armed gunmen…

Quinn and crammin’ (dp x dc)

Jazz had seen the girl around before. She was a pretty girl, with blonde hair in a ponytail and soft blue eyes behind her glasses. That hadn’t been why Jazz noticed her at first though. Well, mostly not.

It was the books under the girl’s arm that had caught her eyes: “An Introduction to Psychopathology”. It was a book Jazz had remembered was for PSYCH 231 which was a class they didn’t have until their second year, and Jazz remembered seeing the girl in her introductory psychology class earlier this week.

The pretty girl was reading ahead.

Jazz looked back down at her own book on Cognitive Neurosciences and smiled wryly. A kindred spirit, she thought somewhat ruefully.

As Jazz looked to the girl who was sitting all alone at the library desk in front of the big manual, she felt a burst of impulsiveness take over. She gathered her things and walked determinedly towards the girl.

“You mind?” Jazz said as she indicated the chair in front of the stranger.

The girl lifted her head and blinked before she smiled. “Not at all.”

”Thanks,” Jazz replied with a bright smile. “I’m Jasmine Fenton.”

The girl’s grin widened as her eyes creased slightly. “Nice to meet you,” she answered happily. “My name’s Harleen Quinzel.”

royal college trio 🍂🍁

[aventurineswife]

Could you do Reader x Aventurine where there are college rivals, reader always a top student not until Aventurine arrived and took reader 1st place and they have become the 2nd place, they always bickering who's the best but they never cross any line

One day reader got sick, Aventurine was worried because he hadn't seen them for 2 days so he decided to pay them a visit and found out reader had a high fever so he rushed out to buy a medicine for reader until now they have become close but still have those rivalry banter, rather more playful now

Kinda like rival to lover but they're like mutual pining until both of them say something

Closer by Competition

Summary: In college, you and Aventurine are fierce rivals, constantly competing for the top spot in your program. Aventurine’s unexpected arrival pushes you down to second place, sparking a lively competition filled with witty banter and mutual respect. But when you fall sick, Aventurine’s concern leads him to visit and care for you, marking a shift in your relationship. Slowly, your rivalry evolves into something warmer, as you both realize that perhaps you’re better together than in constant competition.

The rivalry between you and Aventurine began the moment he transferred into your program. You'd always been the top student, basking in the quiet satisfaction of watching your scores inch higher than anyone else's. But then he arrived—Aventurine, the guy with sandy-blond hair, sharp magenta and cyan eyes, and that ever-present confident smile that made your blood simmer. From the first test he aced, taking your spot at the top, to the last debate he won by the narrowest of margins, he had become your academic nemesis.

You were both locked in this unspoken battle, constantly throwing playful, biting remarks at each other in the lecture hall, or subtly trying to outdo each other with project presentations that dazzled the professors. But there was a line, one neither of you ever crossed—despite the bickering, there was an unspoken respect between you. And maybe… just maybe… a spark.

Then came a week where you weren't around to throw the usual quips his way. Aventurine noticed your absence. Two days passed without your witty retorts or side-eyed glares across the classroom, and he found himself… worried. The idea that something might actually be wrong bothered him in a way he didn’t expect.

Without a second thought, he managed to get your address from a mutual friend and decided to visit. When he knocked, your groggy, barely coherent voice from inside told him all he needed to know. He pushed the door open to find you sprawled on your bed, looking paler than he’d ever seen you.

"[Name]," he said, worry clear in his usually cool tone. "Why didn’t you tell anyone you were sick?"

Your response was a half-hearted, sleepy glare, which normally might have been funny if you didn't look like you were about to pass out. Aventurine didn’t waste any time. He left your apartment and returned shortly after with fever medication, a water bottle, and a bag of snacks, a surprising softness in his gaze as he handed you the medicine.

“You know,” he said, his usual smirk making an appearance. “For someone who supposedly likes being number one, you don’t seem very committed to staying alive.”

You rolled your eyes weakly, the smallest smile tugging at your lips. “Coming from the guy who’s obsessed with competition. Figures you'd be here just to make sure I get back to competing with you.”

He chuckled, brushing a stray hair off your forehead. “I wouldn’t want my only worthy rival giving up that easily.”

From that day, something changed between you two. Your exchanges softened, though the rivalry remained. You’d still argue over who got the higher test score, whose presentation dazzled more, but now your banter was laced with a new warmth. He’d check in on you more often, and you found yourself doing the same, wondering if he’d eaten lunch, if he’d stayed up too late cramming. It wasn’t long before people around campus began to notice how your rivalry was slowly morphing into something else.

One day, after yet another mock argument about a recent exam score, Aventurine grinned and leaned closer, his eyes dancing. “You know, I think we might make a better team than rivals.”

You felt a warmth rise in your cheeks, rolling your eyes to hide it. “Maybe. But don’t think that’s going to make me go easy on you.”

He laughed, his smile softer this time. “Good. I’d hate for it to be too easy.” And with that, your rivalry became something deeper, both of you leaning into the subtle affection that had grown between you.

everybody wants things to be ~enemies to lovers~ when the dynamic of "We are truly matched rivals... ultimate nemeses... one of us will defeat the other... I respect you even as I seek to destroy you, just as you do for me... for we are Uniquely Equals... no one else is on our level... perfectly counterbalanced but equally noble warriors in our clashing goals that will lead to the ultimate destruction of one or the other... this obsession will destroy us Both" "[deep sigh] no. I hate you. please get out of my office" is infinitely funnier

Student 1: What the hell? It seems like the whole Law School is in our library.

Student 2: Kick them out.

Student 3: Play the Kreb’s Cycle Rap* or some shit so they’ll get spooked out and leave.

Was trying to remember the deal about going through Spaghetti Junction and I think I remember now.

There was a time where I-65? (it may be 64, I don't remember) bottlenecked going across the Ohio River into Indiana. The route my dad took had him crossing through like 3 lanes of traffic to get into the correct lane, in rush hour, because he also took the very first exit after the bridge.

I think they eventually built a second bridge and that solved most of the issues?? It's genuinely been actual years since going that way so I don't fucking remember anymore. I just know it was a hellmouth when I was a teenager.

BOSTON  ,  MASSACHUSETTS  .  known  for  its  famous  baked  beans  ,  fenway  park  ,  and  being  home  to  two  of  the  most  successful  institutions  in  the  united  states  .  providence  university  and  cypress  university  have  seen  students  come  and  go  through  their  campus's  from  the  day  they  opened  their  doors  .  they're  both  rich  in  history  ,  success  ,  and  known  for  their  academic  and  athletic  excellence  .

for  two  places  so  similar  in  popularity  ,  co  -  existing  should  be  simple  .  easy  .  but  there's  a  rivalry  between  them  that's  been  brewing  for  years  ,  a  rivalry  which  is  passed  from  one  student  to  the  next  as  soon  as  freshman  and  transfer  students  pick  up  their  ID  cards  .  these  two  colleges  might  be  neighbors  ,  but  they're  far  from  friends  .

in  the  eyes  of  the  students  attending  ,  you  can  either  be  a  titan  or  a  knight  ;  a  green  or  a  blue  .  but  no  matter  which  university  you  decide  to  go  to  ,  you  can  guarantee  there's  something  special  when  there's  a  derby  day  .

welcome  to  RIVALS  !  we're  an  oc  discord  rp  based  on  a  rivalry  between  two  fictional  universities  in  boston  called  providence  and  cypress  .  both  known  for  their  academic  and  athletic  programs  ,  they  share  a  city  and  a  mutual  dislike  for  each  other  .  join  us  to  take  part  in  drama  -  filled  events  ,  complete  fun  tasks  ,  and  create  new  friends  !
