Gavigan Students: Senior Year

Back already at Pinenut Plaza dorm, so soon after our last visit that I think we can make do without reintroducing everybody. With one exception: Newcomer Brittany Love, former Paper Girl who is best friends with Jill Fleig. She has only just arrived, and I don't know anything about her yet.
Turns out Brittany is a Popularity Sim who dreams of becoming Captain Hero. From Paper Girl to Captain Hero - how is that for a Sim's biography!

We are here because of the Gavigan siblings, Clarence (pictured) and Helen. Their surname is next on my alphabetical list. The Gavigans have just started their Senior Year along with Margaret Turner, Amin Fleig and Abhijeet Turner (not offically related to Margaret). Cataldo and Cameron Capp are now Juniors.

As usual, the start of a semester means skilling.

Once a student has his or her necessary skills, they write their Term Papers. Brittany comes with a good skill profile and finishes her Term Paper first.

The siblings stop for a chat in the upstairs common room.

Margaret can be relied on doing a spot of cleaning without being told.

Abhijeet is the last to finish his Term Paper; from now on for the rest of the semester, everybody is largely left to their own devices.

Clarence and Amin retreat to the shade of the dorm to play with a football on this hot sunny afternoon.

Our two lovebirds Helen and Abhijeet are as passionate about each other as the summer heat. The dorm cook discreetly turns his back on the two. You know he's seen it all before... many times!

Brittany's first friend here at the dorm is Clarence.

Abhi and Helen are at it again...

...and again ;-D

And those two? Nothing, they have simply found this bed to be the most comfortable. You know what Sims can be like when it comes to choosing their bed!

The semester ends well for everybody, although Margaret surprises me with a C+, and one of the Capp boys with a B+.

For our Senior Students, the very last semester has begun. This time, it is Helen who finishes her very last Term Paper as the first one of the group.

She now has plenty of time to spend at will with Abhi.

I almost forgot that Amin and Margaret are an item, too; all summer, they have not initiated any romantic interactions with each other. Now that autumn has begun, they seem to remember their relationship.

Generally, everybody gets along well. The semester moves on, and it is soon time for the final exams.

Amin Fleig is the first to finish: He has just graduated Magna Cum Laude and thinks Helen is nuts, running to her exams like that!

Margaret, Cameron and Clarence are next. For Margaret and Clarence, it was their FINAL final exam - they have both graduated Cum Laude.
To my astonishment, I find that Margaret's lifetime want has changed since she has become playable: She started out with the Pleasure Aspiration and wanted to become Captain Hero, now she is a Knowledge Sim and dreams of maxing out all her skills. Oh well, I don't even know since when!

Abhi and Helen return with a headache and empty stomach. Abhijeet is particularly bad at taking care of his needs; more than one during this "year", I have been fearing for his life.
He has graduated Magna Cum Laude, and Helen is the only one of the graduates who has reached Summa Cum Laude.

Brittany and Cataldo are last to finish their exams that night.

The next day, Abhijeet dons his graduation robe and invites a few friends over. "Look at you... sexy even wearing a mortar board," Helen smiles.

Amin follows. This is the proudest day of his life!

Margaret is next to leave campus.

And finally, it is time for the Gavigan siblings to head back to New Maximiliania - not without a graduation party, though!

Clarence and Helen invite their younger brothers over...

...as well as their parents.

Helen is last to board the taxi. Phew!

Now there are only three students left at the dorm. I am not sure yet which household is next in line with a teenager able to go to college, but we will find out soon enough :-)
