Week 15 Story

The Jealous Student There she sat, trying and working hard to finish all of the projects that she had to turn in this week. She sees all of her friends who did not go to college out having fun and making money. Her friends always had the means to go and do fun things whenever they wanted and they never had to stay home and work on projects or assignments. “Oh, well.” She thought to herself and she began yet another 10-page assignment and texted her friends that she would not be able to go to the movies with them this Friday night.

Today is different, Julia is tense and cannot find any words to type into her computer.

As Julia sits and contemplates her dilemma and thinks about how she could fix the issue, her six friends walk into the coffee shop and slump down on the worn, orange couch. She talks to them about her issue and they all jump at the chance to help her. Chandler suggests that she do a comedy bit. Julia quickly shoots this down — she is anything but comical. Rachel suggests that she write about f...
