To say that the blackout was an inconvenience for Puck would be an understatement. One minute, he was making out with Jo and shoveling candy into his mouth, and the next he was being forced to leave his apartment at this ungodly hour to go stay on campus, of all places. The only upside was the pot he smoked before, which was doing wonders at keeping him calm despite the craziness. Trudging into the gymnasium, Puck noticed people with flashlights and blankets, some of who seemed like they'd been there a hot minute already. It made him feel wildly underprepared, considering most of the space in his backpack was taken up by snacks and beer cans. He also tried to ignore the fact that he was trapped in a room full of girls that he'd slept with, as well as his ex, who was undoubtably looming around somewhere. Shoving his hands in the pockets of his pajama pants and finding a wall to lean on, Puck listened to pandemonium around him. "Yo, why is everybody like, freaking out so much?" He asked people in the surrounding area, trying to dig out a Pespi from his backpack in the darkness. "Things could be way worse." As if on cue, he heard the sound of someone crying in the distance. "I mean, damn. You would'a thought the purge siren went off or something. Are people really that scared of the dark?"

Having to hurriedly leave her apartment at - what time even was it? - had meant that Frannie's current outfit consisted of whatever she had managed to grab on her way out of her bedroom. A large sweater hung over her body and Frannie was thankful at least that she was warm. Fashionable? No. But warm? Absolutely. Arriving in the gymnasium had been an overwhelming flurry of activity, with students walking here, there and everywhere in order to try and work out what was going on. Frannie had already noticed her mobile just wasn't working, so she had already shoved that inside of her pocket with a Fabray-like-impatience while she tried to search for anyone familiar. The faces all seemed to be a blur, now, though. Helping, it seemed, was the only option until there were other answers. There seemed to be a good, organisational flow of work happening, which Frannie immediately starting helping alongside, although she couldn't help how fast her mind was racing. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate. After finding a box filled with blankets and other supplies, Frannie turned and tapped the closest person to her side on the shoulder. "Hi there. Is there any way at all you could help me carry this?" She asked, her gaze signalling to the large box on the floor. "As much as I pride myself on my athletics, the last thing I need is to end up injuring myself over blankets, no less. Team work makes the dream work, right?" Turning her body slightly to face the person, Frannie offered them a bright smile.

The Winter Ball

Mercedes selected something a little out of her comfort zone for the ball, deciding she wanted to start the year off right, and challenge herself to be more daring. She chose a gold sequined off the shoulder body con dress, and paired it with strappy (and sparkly) silver stilettos.

Her accessories are gold and silver. Her makeup is full glam. She wanted to look like opulence, and she thinks she's achieved that look.

Her handsome and charming date for the evening is @samevans-wmu.

T A S K # 0 1 - INTRODUCTION.

Alright uni gang, I'm gonna need y'all to listen up and take notes. Auntie Snix has some words of wisdom for all you loners and rejects out there who need my help fitting in while also uniquely standing out. If my 22 years on this planet have learned me anything, it's that you're never too much of a bad bitch to learn some new tricks. So pop a squat, get your popcorn ready, and pay attention because I'm only going to say this once. And trust me, these are invaluable life lessons that will stick with you throughout your extended time here at wmu.

𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐚'𝐬 ���𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐩 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 :

𝟏. Your college years are the time to be selfish. Now you may be thinking, "Santana, you've always been self-centered." While there may be some validity to that, college is an excuse to not feel guilty about it. Step outside your comfort zone, act on your own desires. Just don't get arrested for public intoxication. 𝟐. Never show up early or empty-handed to a party. The goal is to appear cool and indifferent, not make yourself look desperate. Frat parties aren't really my scene, but they typically have the best alcohol if you're looking to drink away your problems. 𝟑. Real Housewives is priceless entertainment. If you haven't watched it yet, you need to start. They show reruns on Bravo. If you have watched it and it wasn't your cup of tea, I'm sorry to inform you but you have terrible taste. I bet your favorite show is Breaking Bad or Grey's Anatomy. How unoriginal. 𝟒. Dress hot for a job interview. Practical? No. Effective? Hell yes, unless you're Rachel Berry. It's a miracle how far thigh high boots and a tight-fitted camisole will get you in the bartending biz. 𝟓. Crocs with socks should be a federal offense. If you own a pair, please burn them. Sincerely, everyone. 𝟔. Online shopping is both addictive and cathartic. Just ask my mom. After she found out about my dad's affair, she started buying up those 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzles that take weeks to complete. Not to mention she put all of the funds on his credit cards. That's the kind of petty behavior I admire. 𝟕. Street food in Lima, Ohio is not the same as it is in Miami. I need a lot of spice in my life. If I'm not legitimately delirious and sweating from the heat on my plate, I don't want it. Lima's version of that is buffalo chicken wings smothered in Taco Bell diablo sauce. Check, please. 𝟖. SZA's comeback was the highlight of the 2022. Five years between albums is wild that I have to admit my girl had me stressing for a minute, but her new music delivered. Shoutout to Kehlani for also releasing another banger. 𝟗. Relationships ain't shit, delete your dating apps. If I wanted to be cheated on, I would've set the bar higher and aimed for someone rich like those gold diggers on Real Housewives do. At least then I wouldn't have to foot the bill at the end of the night. 𝟏𝟎. Guys lie to you but girls will destroy your psyche. Not all girls, obviously. Just the evil ones I'm attracted to and date. Consider this my vow to stay single forever.

That's all for now, kiddos. I hope you weren't expecting some profound insight into societal norms or anything like that. It's too early in the morning and I haven't had my daily dose of caffeine yet. I'm just here to keep it real. If you're in the market for any more helpful tips or tricks, hit me up on my socials. And if I have you blocked, best believe it's for a good reason and I would appreciate it if you never contacted me again. Deuces.

[puckcrup]

S'up? I'm Puck. I'm a junior. I'm around during the summer months if you need your pool cleaned. Or not. I'm always around for those services. I'm on the football team. I like playing video games, don't spoil the end of Super Mario Bros Wonder for me, I didn't finish it yet so I'll kick your fuckin' ass if you do. I'm pretty much like a nunchuck expert. I'm better than Michaelangelo from TMNT. I always forget what I'm actually majoring in, it's a longass name.

The scoff about to come out of her mouth was almost unavoidable. Still, Quinn was able to mostly contain it by graciously letting out a breathy snicker at the absurdity of the situation. They were university students, for God's sake - one would think that something so childish would be left back in high school. Unfortunately, with the hopeful looks of the student body gathered around the cafeteria, the blonde saw no choice but to stand up, but not before a discreet roll of hazel eyes accompanied it.  "Uh, the name is Quinn Fabray; I'm an English major aiming to become a writer in the future." Said the girl, albeit awkwardly. This would be more than enough for her, but one look at the principal's slight frown told her she expected a bit more coming from her. With a sigh, she continued. "This is my second year here, as I have some unfinished business in the city, but I intend on next year be on my way to-" Yale, she would complete, thinking about her acceptance letter and scholarship waiting for her. The notion that she was indeed capable of getting there waiting for her. But at the last second, she was able to stop herself.  One of the only good things she learned with her father was that one should never reveal too much about themselves, as it could be used against them as a weakness in the future. So naturally, Quinn gave in to her old instincts. "-new experiences. Who knows?" Without further words, she sat down, her mind telling her that she could be more specific on hobbies, her passion for her course, her love for writing, and different languages. Even maybe revealing her new excitement for photography. Alas, she felt Russel Fabray's heavy hand on her shoulder, keeping her down and well-behaved - quiet and unapproachable. With that, she tuned down the rest of the introductions, choosing to pass the time scrolling on her phone until this ridiculous display came to an end.

[stardomiscalling]

Good morning, friends, fans and fellow students! No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, I, Rachel Barbra Berry, have returned from my social media hiatus. Many of you maybe wondering why my accounts suddenly went dark (yes that is a reference to Monday’s on Broadway). The reason was simple, this star needed a rest before burning out.

Yes, you read correctly. Between going to school full-time and starring in a Tony-Award winning show, I simply didn’t have a moment to breathe. However, insttad of quitting, I decided to return to where it all began and find my footing before returning to the spotlight.

For those disappointed by the news of my temporary departure from the Great White Way (which should be everyone), please don’t fret. You can still see me perform right here in Lima, Ohio. In fact, I will soon be reprising the role of Maria in West Side Story. Stay tuned for more details

"What up, what uuuup, Homies! And Welcome back to the Ladies 'Love Cool JP' Pod"

"It's ya girl, JP, coming atcha. Lets get into it. Reeeecaaaap!

So as you goobers know, I'm still the flyest freshman walking the WMU campus. Ain't nothing changed but the hotness getting hotter over here. I'm still on this journey to be the next Shigeru Miyamoto, game designer extraordinaire, while simultaneously dancing my little fine ass booty off.

The holidays were dope and what not. The rents always do it up and big sis, B, got the gift of having the coolest lil' sis in the world to steal her clothes... You're Welcome. Me and Jean Luc Picard AKA King Ferret was out in these streets trying not to break too many lady's hearts. But... y'all know how it goes.

I guess I'm glad to be back on campus though, I missed my peeps.

Oh! Side note, little homies, y'all know how I told y'all about my little communication science and disorders elective? Well ya girl, got picked for this dope volunteer opportunity at a special needs school and I'mma get to get my cosplay on whilst doing so. Can't give too much detail about that, gotta protect the tiny humans, but I'm excited or whatever.

That also reminds me, I'm still undecided on San Diego Con costume and since I'm making it myself gotta get started, get your votes in, nerds

Anywaaaay, thats enough about me for now... lets get into these pop culture hot tops..."

[wmufranniefabray]

going for gold. - cheerleading tryout.

PLACE: WMU Auditorium. TIME: 8am, sharp. @wmu-hub

Determination had filled Frannie's body the minute she had found out that her cheerleading position had been stripped away. Fury, yes, but an overwhelming amount of determination. She wasn't here for small talk, or to look the part (although that was a definite perk). She was here to win. Cheerleading was a sport that Frannie had been involved in since she was a little girl. It had been engraved within the Fabray household, both between herself and her sister. This was everything.

"Good Morning, Coach Sylvester. Your question about my reasoning behind being on the Cheerleading Squad piqued my interest, because motivation is everything. It's what empowers us and strives us to success. It's our fuel. Being a part of this squad, for me, is to be part of a team that will do whatever it takes to win. I'm not a quitter, nor am I a girl that gives up - no, as a Fabray we have been raised as fighters and winners. If that means it gets a little hard at times? It just means you're not working hard enough. My motivation is because I want to to push myself, and our team, to be the best. Whether that's mentally, physically or by doing whatever we can to achieve. I'm not afraid of hard work, in fact, I embrace it. My biggest strength is my mindset and I will not back down from any kind of challenge without a fight."

"Throughout High School, I was lucky enough to be part of a squad that led our team to four consecutive National Championships each year. My passion for cheerleading led me to working directly with our Coach to choreograph the routines together. I've been on this team ever since I've been at this college and I've been lucky enough to learn so much already from your leadership. Cheerleading is my passion and I'm willing to learn, fight and crush any competition if necessary. If you're looking for a cheerleader who is going to be the best for our team to win, I'm here and I'm ready to prove it to you."

Her words were fierce but combined with a respectful, passionate tone. After being on this team now ever since she joined WMU, she was aware that respect had to be earned, especially with Coach Sylvester. Being meek or standing in the sidelines would never win trophies. No, she was a fighter. Being cut from the cheerleading squad had been a firm reminder of what mattered most. No distractions - this.

As soon as the first few beats of the music had started, Frannie was in her element. Her nerves, although masked as well as she could, washed away as her passion and determination took over. The beginning of the song was a chance to prove her accuracy in movements, each step perfectly poised. Her previous coach had always taught her that the first few seconds and steps were crucial. First impressions counted. Cheerleading had been engrained in her body ever since she had been thirteen years old, so each step, each movement, was familiar and flowed seamlessly.

When choreographing this routine, Frannie had been intent on showcasing her variety of skills, ensuring that each section of the song provided a chance to highlight her assets. Being flexible had been something Frannie was particularly proud of and something she had worked hard on over the years. Each jump, helping as a transition from one side of the mat to the other, provided a chance for Frannie to prove that. Her favourite jump to perform, the High-V, allowed Frannie an opportunity to add her own flourish to her dance before landing cleanly. Her motions remained tight and sharp, through her years of experience allowing her confidence and passion to shine through. The music was energetic, upbeat and allowed for Frannie to fully immerse herself within the dance.

When the song came to an end, Frannie ended her dance poised and still, hardly daring to breathe. Her breath was light while she could feel her heart pounding heavily against her chest. Moving too soon would have been deadly, it was the number one rule. Her smile remained etched onto her lips and after she was certain the routine was over, Frannie spoke.

"Thank you for watching."

What's up y'all!

For those of you who don't know me by now, the name's Mercedes Jones, but you can call me Cedes.

I'm 21 and have lived in Lima my whole life. I chose WMU to be close to my family and friends, and though the idea of being in the hot LA sun sounds real damn nice, I couldn't pass up being 15 minutes from home.

I'm a third year majoring in teaching & learning, minoring in acting with a sprinkle of musical studies on the side. I plan on being a part of EGOT hall of fame one day, so I may seem busy but ya girl plans on staying booked after graduation.

I work at Target, and no I can't get you a discount, but I can let you know when stuffs going on sale. I gotta help my fellow students out where I can, right?

When I'm not busy with school or work, I can usually be found chilling in my dorm room doing homework, cooking a random recipie I found on TikTok, or watching movies.

I haven't joined any clubs yet this year, but i'm on the lookout, so if anyone's got any suggestions feel free to hit me up.

Cedes over'n out.

[samevans-wmu]

Hey! It's Sam.

How's everyone doing? Good I hope.

So! Introductions... I always feel this giant ass spotlight smack dab in the middle of my forehead whenever I do one of these.

Let’s rip off the bandaid and do this!

Name's Sam. I'm 21 and in my Junior year here. Moved from Music City, Tennessee a few years back. Nashville in case you’re wondering. If it wasn't for my aunt I never would have heard of WMU. Good thing she told my mom because it's been a freaking awesome experience!! 10/10. Would recommend! But you’re already here so you’re in for a good time.

I'm into movies, shows, music, games, comics, dogs, sports... Basically anything that involves any sort of storytelling. My comfort movie is Star Wars: New Hope and comfort movies are anything 90s McConaughey. I listen to ALL types of music but got a big ol' soft spot for classic rock. Country, too. My folks used to play Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn for me whenever I got fussy as a baby.

My major's in Game Programming, which I never, ever thought I'd do. Numbers are like oil and water. It doesn’t mix. But coding's pretty cool! With help from the tutor lab, which I highly encourage you use, I get to help create badass games! Minor is Strength and Conditioning. Fitness is important to me. Health and fitness to be exact. A good chunk of the time you’ll either find me sweating in the gym, playing ball, tossing a frisbee around, or running around campus. Since I got such a love for movies I took on the Cinema History and Theory course because come on. Movies! I get to talk about them for an hour? What's not to love?!

Oh, and if football's your jam you gotta hit the stadium and root for me and the rest of the Titan team and Cheerios! It's chilly now but you'll warm up quick once the game gets going!

That'll do it for me. Feel like I made one of those dating profiles. Guess I oughta add I love long walks on the beach… haha

Sam Evans out!
