Also in today's news...

Jared, after months of job serving, found a job as a host at the local Red Robin. After being impressed by his cooking prowess, Jared's boss promoted him to Prep Cook.

Edison was promoted to Counterfeiter (so close!), while Phoebe was awarded with the position of General Practitioner.

Dominic still has no job, as he's busy taking care of his brother and three children, but he can't wait till the kids go off to college, so he can fulfill his own dream.

Graduation day: The wait is over

It was a long 4 years, but these Sims lived to tell the tale.
Just to recap:
Bex is once again single, though she's slept with half the school.
Angelo is engaged to Sheila, his brother's boyfriend.
Terrance has a NEW girlfriend named Joanne Hurt and he's engaged to her.
James and Tessa have been engaged for 4 years and hope to be married soon.
All of them graduted Summa Cum Laude, but are moving back in with their parents. Way to be.

Love is in the air

Tessa and James got engaged like we knew they would. How cute.
Bex, on the other hand, has expressed her disdain for monogamy in various ways.

Way #1: Payton Go


Way #2: Prof. Cleve


Way #3: Angelo Stevens


Way #4: Terrance Stevens


Currently, Bex is unhappily engaged to Angelo Stevens. She's made out with a total of 5 Sims, though her new goal is 10. Terrance couldn't believe Bex had 3 other guys, even though he has two girlfriends himself. Wooo, hypocrisy.
Terrance HAD 11 best friends, more than halfway towards his goal of 20, but he no longer considers Angelo or Bex friends.
In other news, Terrance changed his major to Political Science.

The new collegiates

I don't know if that's the proper word. But here they are.

Terrance Stevens, undeclared major.

Angelo Stevens, Literature major.

Tessa Jorgen, undeclared major.

Sheila Cummings, Political Science major.

Bex Jorgen, Drama major.

James Stevens, Biology major.

Graduates!!

The first group of College Sims has graduated! They're now ready to get jobs and move on with their lives (and/or move back in their parents? More on that later).
But here they are. All graduated Summa Cum Laude and all 6 of them are already engaged!

Nothing much to report

It seems sad that I haven't posted in 3 weeks, and there's still not much to say.
The Stevens family has met with a few changes, though.



Little Mayzie finally learned to talk and celebrated her birthday in the platinum aspiration.



Tom was promoted to Field Researcher and celebrated by using his impressive cooking skills to make Baked Alaska for the entire family.
Terrance and Angelo were both awarded a SimCity Scholars Grant and will be attending college, along with their brother James, very soon.



Bridget gave birth to her sixth child, a healthy baby boy named Barack, after the new president. Now Bridget is on her way to achieving her life goal (marrying off six children).

Miranda takes the plunge

After finishing freshman year, Miranda realized she wanted to be with Alex for the rest of her life, and if she didn't propose now, someone else would.
(That was completely untrue, but hormones affect logic.)
She pulled a diamond ring out of thin air and proposed to Alex.



He said no, as you can obviously tell from the picture.



Just kidding. How many of you were actually convinced he'd said no?

University Life

Everyone is enjoying college life, especially Allen Cummings, who "visits his sons" in order to use the wonderful dorm facilities.

So far, everyone has gained a little bit of weight. For Alex, it wasn't so much the "Freshman 15" as the "Freshman 50".



Here Miranda is working on her term paper. All of the Sims have completed freshman year with a 4.0.



In other news, Severin changed his major to History, though he isn't sure what his career will be. Jared made 5 best friends, as did Miranda. They've received a total of $12,000 from the college for making the dean's list.

Dominic drops a bomb/Severin finds his soulmate

Dominic couldn't wait to get engaged to his long-time boyfriend Jared. One morning, after a late night "study session", Dominic proposed.



Jared, of course, said yes, and they will be married immediately after they graduate.



Severin was busy studying for the semester exam when he saw a cute blond chick outside his window. He decided to introduce himself.



They'd only just met when Sierra Wilkie (the beautiful girl's name) told Severin how much she liked his vest. A girl who liked sexist guys with big egos? She could only be Severin's long lost soulmate!



It didn't take Sierra long to fall in love with Severin, and vice-versa. They were both Family Sims who longed for commitment. After a couple weeks, Severin decided to propose.



She said yes, but the two will have to wait 3 years to get married. Severin is trying to convince Dominic and Jared to have a double wedding with him.
We're pretty positive the answer will be no.

University Sims

Severin Jorgen was the first to reach Academie Le Tour, the college his grandparents had gone to. His goal was to reach his Golden Anniversary, so he decided not to pick a major and just learn a bit of everything.



Jared Cummings was next. Since his goal was to become a Celebrity Chef, he chose to major in Art. Not only would he become a good cook, but he could also paint for a living when he couldn't afford to feed himself.



Jason Cummings chose to major in Psychology to further his career as a Captain Hero.



Monica Chandler had similar ambitions and is also majoring in Psychology.



Alex Stevens chose to major in Physics so he could become a Mad Scientist like his father.



Dominic Chandler's goal to graduate 3 children from college didn't really apply to any of the available majors, so he decided to major in everything like Severin.
