You Learn

Ain't It Fun

Round 9 - August 2043

Last Update /  Next Update

Christa Brown, Bobby Emerson, & Beverly Kendall are 18 (Katie Mitchell is 18)

Ain't it good to be on your own

Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one

Ain't it fun

Living in the real world

Paramore

Life was good. Christa Brown had been dreaming about the day that she would leave her home and off to college. The day when she would be on her own, with her family drama behind her. And she had to admit, she hadn't been so at peace in a long time.........................

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - 2042

Round 8 - May 2042 - LBU/BTU

Last Update/ Next update/ Ginger & Meadow/ Caleb, Ricky, & Kimberly

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Kimberly Jackson, Ginger Newson, and Meadow Thayer are 21, Joss Willis is 1 (Slade Willis is 27, Armand Wrightwood is 32) 

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right

I hope you had the time of your life

Green Day

"You're being ridiculous, Slade," Meadow said.

"How am I being ridiculous? You're being ridiculous! Why do you need this dude to meet our daughter? She's 1 for goodness' sake!"

"We've been dating for 9 months! I think he's going to be a permanent part of my life, which means he will become a permanent part of hers. I really don't even NEED your permission to do this. But you're her dad. And I don't want to fight with you about this," Meadow said.

Dog Days Are Over - Part II

Round 8 - August 2041 - LBU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, and Kimberly Jackson are 21

Happiness, hit her, like a train on a track

Coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back 

She hid around corners, and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses, and from it she fled

With every bubble, she sank with a drink

And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over, the dog days are done

The horses are coming, so you better run

Florence + The Machine

They were seniors. Caleb still couldn't believe that their college careers were almost over. It seemed like only yesterday that they all started. Now Meadow was a mom, he and Ginger were an item, and Ricky had succeeded in totally screwing up his romantic life........

Life Starts Now

Round 8 - April 2041 - LBU/BTU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ginger Newson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Kimberly Jackson are 20, Joss Willis is 3 months

'Cause life starts now,

You've done all the things that could kill you somehow,

And you're so far down,

But you will survive it somehow,

because life starts now

Three Days Grace



Caleb was glad that things were going well for he and Ginger. With all the craziness that was surrounding their friends, it was nice to be stable. Meadow and Ricky served as cautionary tales of what not to do!

Caught Myself - Part I

Round 8 - August 2040 - LBU

Last update/ Next update
Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Kimberly Jackson, and Meadow Thayer are 20

Don't know what I want

But I know it's not you

Keep pushing and pulling me down

When I know in my heart it's not you

Paramore

If someone had told her that her college career would come to an end with her leaving pregnant, she would have laughed in their faces. Not Meadow Thayer. In a way she was glad to be leaving. She was showing now, and she was tired of the stares she got from other students. Maybe it was all in her head, maybe not. But either way she wasn't sad to be leaving. Things with Slade had improved......well as much as they were probably going to......she had had a conversation with him about helping her move to the new apartment with Ginger and she had only called him a bastard once......a definite improvement.......

Brick By Boring Brick - Part I

Round 7 - April 2040 - LBU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Kimberly Jackson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25)

Well, she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well, go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Paramore

Caleb Henderson was pissed. His springbreak plans had been ruined by Meadow and Ricky. He and Ginger were suppose to go away with Ricky and Kimberly for springbreak. After Meadow dropped the bomb about sleeping with Ricky, Kimberly broke things off with him. Sure, he and Ginger could have gone by themselves, but he wasn't ready for a trip like that with just the two of them.........damn Meadow and her meddling!

Feelings

Round 7 - September 2039 - LBU/BTU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Ginger Newson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25, Kimberly Jackson is 19)

I'm a stubborn girl, you're a stubborn guy

Could be why we fight all the time

If it's not your way, then it must be mine

Can't communicate, can't even compromise

----------------------------------------------

I just can't decide, if it's you I want

Don't wanna choose between having you in my life

Or losing you for real because I caught feelings

Floetry

They were dating. If someone had told him that he would fall for his best friend, he would have called them a liar. The day that Ginger told him that she was in love with him was one of the most confusing days of his life. As she sat there, waiting on him to respond to her declaration, he really looked at her. She was beautiful, and he had no idea how he had never noticed it before. And who was the first person he called whenever something happened, be it good or bad? It wasn't his parents, though he supposed it should be. It was her. So it really made no sense that they weren't together. So they both stopped seeing other people and concentrated on each other. And it had been the best five months of his life.

I Can't Lie - Part I

Round 7 - March 2039 - LBU

I can't lie on my mind, stuck inside my head

I wanna feel your heart beat, for me instead, yeah

I just die so much inside, now that you're not there

I wanna feel your heart beat, like yesterday

Maroon 5

"Why can't you just mind your own business? I have everything under control," Ricky said.

"All I'm saying is that Kimberly is a great girl. Meadow is not. Why mess up a good thing over her?"

"I'm not messing up anything! Ginger is a nice girl too," Ricky said.

"So? What's your point?" Caleb asked.

"How long are you going to dance around the issue? You know you want to be more than friends with her."

"That's crazy! And we're not talking about me, we're talking about you," Caleb said.

"Well when you're ready to talk about YOU, let me know."

All I wanted was you - Part I

Round 7 - August 2038 - LBU

Last update/ Next update

Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, and Meadow Thayer are 18 (Ginger Newson is 18)

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees

And when the world treats you way too fairly,

Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

Paramore



They all started off good. Caleb, Ricky, and Meadow had made a pact to keep each other in line so that they would all finish the semester with great grades. And it all started off good. Well, for the first few days....

Taesha found it hard to believe that her college career was coming to an end. It didn't seem like four years had really passed. And she found it even harder to believe her baby girl would be 1 in only a few months! Where did the time go?

I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there, Cuz that's what friends are suppose to do

Oh yeah

Gordon still couldn't believe that he and Taesha had a baby.......a baby! Lyria was the most important thing in the world to him. Gordon Nott, orphan extraordinaire, was a father.......who would have guessed.......

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 6 - Summer 2037

Kimber Henderson had forgotten how awful pregnancy could be. It's was a beautiful, ugly experience! But everytime she walks into Caleb's room, she doesn't mind it so much.......Now maybe she won't go crazy with the empty nest syndrome!

Taesha had entered her second trimester and she was getting a little nervous. It had been a tough pregnancy for her and she had missed quite a few days of class. She would be lucky if she didn't have to repeat the semester the way things were going for her.......

What's going on Taesha?" Kinsley asked.

"Why does something have to be going on? Can't I just miss my step-sister? Can't I just want to see you, you know, to catch up on stuff?" Taesha said.

"Yea, you could, but that's not why I'm here."

"What do you mean?"

"Because you look like a deer caught in headlights. Come on, Tae, what's wrong?" Kinsley asked.

"Well......."

Taesha had a special night planned for Gordon. They had both been spending so much time studying that there was just no way they could have fun too. But Taesha thought it was high time they got out of this rut and into some fun..........

"Dude, why are you still wearing that? Aren't you hot?" Brian asked.

"We're about to graduate, do you realize that? I may not take this thing off until after graduation!"

"You look like the Grim Reaper! Go take that off! Not cool, man. Not cool."

So I pray more than anything, friends we'll stay

As we begin to lay this foundation for a family

Love ain't simple, why can't it be?

Anything worth having you work at annually

Granted we've known each other for some time

It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine

Common

Taesha and Gordon were really getting along very well. More than she would have ever thought possible. She never really paid him much attention when he would come over to her house to play video games. It was funny how you could overlook something so easily.......

Cause I still have not revealed it

Cause I still get the feeling

That loving her is a game I'll always lose

I've got the brown eyed blues...

Adrian Hood

Brian never knew he could feel this way about someone. Mindi was the coolest chick he had ever met and he was so glad that he was with her. Sure, at one point all he wanted was to get laid, but things had changed and he truly cared about her now......he did enjoy woohooing with her though.......

 Taesha Foster spent her first few hours as a freshman at LBU listening to her step-brother talk to her about the do's and don'ts of campus. Even Kenny is like, "What are you talking about man?"
