This is me, Elliot Clarke, arriving at University. OK, so the clothes aren't brilliant, but what the heck! I'm just so glad to finally get here. Ok, so Mickey will be on his own for a while, but Dorian will be returning home before he even notices I've left. I decided not to go into dorms, preferring to rent a little place. It was my dream to finally spend some time alone with Meadow, in practice for our life together once we graduate. Dorian teases me, and calls it 'playing house', but it's all in good fun. I'm still going to become a member of their Greek House, if that's what he's worried about. I don't have to, or even want to, live there though!
Funny, but the first person I catch walking by is my brother Simon, and I ask him about joining. With two brothers already members, I'm already a 'foot in'.
Piece of cake!
Meadow soon joins me at University, and agrees to move in with me. Although we've been dating a while, now that she's grown up a bit, I'm eager to see if her feelings for me have changed at all. Seems not! Meadow is also family orientataed, and wants to graduate 3 kids from college. I laugh when she tells me that. After all she's not even managed to graduate herself yet!
Here's the soppy pic ..... everyone say awwww.
And again! I couldn't resist it. I knew we were meant to be together. Simple as!
Meadow joins the same Greek House as me, after all, I couldn't have her going over to the other side. My brothers would never forgiveme!
I wasn't surprised to get inducted into the Secret Society! After all, I already had 2 out of the mandatory 3 friends with just my brothers.
Meadow, on the other hand was a little more surprised.
Meadow was soon telling him about our engagement.After such a special night together, we ended up having our very first woohoo. I was going to wait until after we'd graduated and got married, but I think we were both swept away by the force of our emotions! Dorian laughed when I told him. He now refers to us as 'love's young dream'. He sometimes acts like he's seen and done everything, but I think it's a front. I'm probably more mature than he is!
The Federal Fortress Greek House
Hi Breanna here, ready to give an update on the goings on at the 'Fort'. Firstly things are going well on the gardening front, and we were awarded our second wishing well by the Gardening Club. I think Erica is taking the first one back to Fortunicity when she graduates. It's bound to be a help to a romantic sim like her!
All of us are working hard, not only for our degree, but also for our talent badges. Sophie is doing really well, but then she had a head start - she enrolled with a Gold Register Badge which she obtained as a teen townie!
Being able to make Servo's means Sophie can now earn big bucks.
Erica's water wigglers are a hit, and bring in $450 each time.Skylar is a whizz on the Mechanics bench, and after just three days of non-stop tinkering was able to make Servo's too. I helped him out when he convinced me to do his term paper for him. He's quite an influential guy!
I can't believe he's already earned so much! If he carries on like this he'll soon reach his impossible want .....
..... just like Elijah. Fortune sims, they're obsessed!
All I wanted was to fall in love, and eventually Ricky Cornier and I got together. He's not the most orthodox Family sim I've ever met. All I will say is that with 20 puppies or kittens, and 6 kids to raise, when we finally get a home together - it's gonna be busy.
I was eventually inducted into the Secret Society. It would have happened sooner, but for some reason I refused to leave the plot when they came on two previous occassions. I don't know why, maybe I was scared, but I don't think so. I think someone mentioned it was a weird glitch, whatever that is? Anyway, I can now hack my grades if I want to, although I don't think I'll need to. Nobody here has had to do it before.
Anyway, the original 6 members of the 'Fort' graduated this week; but not before congratulating me and Ricky on our engagement. I'm really jealous, and wish I were leaving with them, especially Ricky. Still, it will give him time to build us a nice house before I finally join him.
Before he left, Elijah invited Amin Swinton over. He was already a member of the house, but accepted an invitation to actually move in here now there's so much space. I'm gonna miss those guys, but know it won't be long before I join them.
The Funhouse Greek Society
I was so glad when me and Amar became residents of the 'Funhouse' for the original members final year. I immediately invited Justus on a date. Call me obsessive but I knew he was the 'one', and had bought the ring a while back, knowing I had to ask him. Better to be rejected than never pluck up the courage to ask. Oh sorry, it's me, Cherry Middleton.
I think you can tell from the look on my face how nervous I was .....
..... but thankfully he said yes! All I really know about him is that he's a knowledge sim, and that I think he's hot. Really hot!
Anyway, like the 'Fort', everyone here is geared up for graduation. Dorian takes time out from chatting on the phone to get his Gold Gardening Badge.
Siobhan's floral efforts can mow produce snapdragon bouquets, and she can also craft water wiggler's on the toy bench.

Although the excessive time spent gardening is taking it's toll. Dorian is the first, and hopefully only, victim of sunstroke. Mmmm ..... feel the burn!
Even Amar manages to get a Gold Badge, which is amazing considering his pleasure seeking ways. It's a wonder he can take time off from juggling.
Two of the Clarke brothers attain their impossible wants. Dorian has way over 30 best friends now. And Simon has maxed out all his skills. Way to go you two!
At the end of our second year, my brother Amar rerolled as a Knowledge sim. I think he'll have much more luck becoming the Chief of Staff at Fortunicity General than he ever would in having 50 1st dates.
I thought the place would be lonely once they'd all left; but before catching his taxi Elijah invited Colby Swinton to move in. And I have every intention of getting Justus to live here, after all he's going to be part of the neighbourhood one day, so he may as well earn himself some extra slots and skill points. See you next update ..... bye for now! P.S. Isn't it exciting. I mean about Justus and me. I keep having to pinch myself. Anyway, Byeeee!

I love your chatty updates! Congrats on getting so many sims through uni and with so many badges. Heh, Martin has some catching up to do! Don't you just love the cascade effect with the Secret Society? Get your first couple of Sims in and the rest are easy...
Whew! You were busy!
I'm curious about those graduation shots--is that how you are remembering what they've done? I can't read the text, but it looks good. Tell us more!
Good Lord, did you bring every single townie teen to uni? You're going to have a population explosion!
(Like I'm one to talk, who started my prosperity with 12 families. But maybe that's why I'm so careful about not adding too many more.)
6 kids and 20 puppies/kittens in the same household? Whoa. Glad it's you and not me. ;)
Good job on the badges!
Correct Kerry, it's how I blog what they achieved although I shall have to make the text alot bigger in future (still new to this blogging!) They all made Secret Society, and BSOC, and 4.0 summa cum something. I think the most amazing student was Sophie Miguel, she got 6 Gold badges, although she came with one from her teen days. She now has all 9, and a level 10 business, but that's for later. I love her, and had to have her in my prosperity. She's the townie teen I like most!
*blink* Give me a minute to take it all in. That was a lot of work for Uni. But then, my Sims are like me: go to class, do assignments, do term paper, party. Slackers.
I agree with you. Sophie Miguel is an awesome character to have in a neighborhood.
good job on those IWs!
Well done on another excellent uni round - I can't believe they all have so many badges... I never seem to stick to working on them. Maybe something I should try and work on as I move into future rounds.
And you're going to have so many families... good luck with that :D
