Daniel Bell- Freshman Year

 

We've jumped from the Bell family home to Académie Le Tour to see how the Bells' son Daniel is doing in his first year of University.

Daniel is lodging in a dorm with Pauline Aspir and former paperkid Justus Landry (Daniel is the one in the bandana) to all start their Freshman year together.

They are here in this 9 room dorm, I altered it slightly before they moved in.

I removed the outdoor area which was in the middle of the living/kitchen area to give them more space throughout that area.

Here they are having a first meal with 3 other dormies.

Pauline welcomed the remaining 3 students as they arrived.

Pauline is a Family Sim who wishes to be top of the Dance career, she is majoring in Drama.

Daniel is a Popularity Sim who wishes to be a Prestidigitator, that is to be top of the Entertainment career. He chose Art as his Major and is happily meeting and greeting anyone new who comes into the dorm such as one of the resident cheerleaders.

This is Justus' facial expression when he is asked to clean up after himself! He is a very sloppy Romance Sim who wishes to have 20 loves.

Daniel wants to paint a masterpiece and is close to maxing his Creativity skill.

Justus knuckled down and learnt Physiology.

I thought it would put him in a good enough mood to change his aspiration, but he ended up a grilled cheese sim.

Daniel's day got off to a better start when he made his 10th best friend.

Justus went off to his class (Literature) whilst Pauline cleared some leaves that had fallen in this Autumn season.

After class they visited one of the campus lots so Justus could join them getting a mobile phone and made some new acquaintances, though no one likes to talk about Grilled cheese so far :(

Pauline, who loves to cook made a nice supper for them all,

They finished their first Semester top of their respective classes.

I've never really observed the students when they write an assignment but it's quite amusing- lots of head scratching, thinking and erasing before the assignment is complete. 

While the others were working their brains Dan was working his body into super fitness.

Assignment complete for Justus which put him into a good enough mood to try again for a new aspiration- he's a Popularity Sim now with a LTW to be a Media Magnate.

I'd had hopes of Pauline and Justus continuing their teen romance while at college but so far no interest has been shown on either side.

Pauline decided to change her hairstyle/colour and wear some makeup.

Daniel certainly noticed, he started throwing hearts out for Pauline.

Dan and Justus made best friends.

Justus met a new secret society friend, no one so far has been inducted but he may be the first as he now has 2 SS friends.

Dan got a nice boost of aspiration when he sold a masterpiece.

The three dormies visited a newly refurbished diner called Pinks.

Poor Pauline was wearing her salad even though I'm pretty sure she ordered chicken. :D

She didn't look too thrilled at having to pay for her next dinner. Should've had a discount surely?

Randomly as I was watching what Justus was up to Dan and Pauline autonomously fell in love! Who says we're in control?!

All that falling in love and food throwing made Pauline extra hungry so she whipped up some Crepes while Dan distracted the dorm cook when they were back.

and their final exam for the year brings this chapter to a close.  Freshman Year done! :)

Summary-

Well that was very random Dan and Pauline falling in love, poor Justus but he never showed any interest in Pauline either. We'll be back for a second year when it's Justus' turn (Landry) on the alphabetical list. 

The Students as they were when I entered the lot, Pauline, Dan & Justus. I felt they needed more colorful outfits! :)
