I understand that a lot of people enjoy writing shipfics where they transplant characters into a college setting. Since some writers may not be in college, or may have graduated a long time ago, I thought I’d offer a helpful list of realistic college meet not-so-cute scenarios. Forget baristas. This is where it’s at.
– I’m really passionate about this cause and I will give you this flier if I have to shove it down your throat
– vicious battle over the only left handed desk in the room
– my roommate’s boyfriend is staying over so can I please sleep on your floor
– it’s pouring and my final paper is in my backpack so I guess we’re stuck under this tiny awning together. do you think they’d deliver pizza here
– hey I have to photograph someone for class will you be my model
– hey I have to take someone’s blood pressure for class will you be my victim
– variations of the above
– I know I keep coming to the cookie shop and for some reason it’s always your shift but don’t you dare judge me I need these for my sanity
– all our friends are drunk
– it’s 3 am and I’m still in the library studying for finals and I’m losing my grip on reality and I think I just saw a ghost
– we’re the only two people in this club. what is this club even for
– humans vs zombies (see you can still have your zombie AU, best of both worlds)
– we’re the only people who ever talk in discussions it’s awful
– GROUP PROJECT
#both of us turned up at the wrong room for this lecture but don’t know where its meant to be #waiting outside for pizza to be delivered and both of ours are super late #you keep parking in the space outside my student house you absolute asshole #we live in halls opposite each other and I keep seeing you changing through your window #you’re the only other person in the room when I break the printer and I’m panicking (little-smartass)
