sims 2 university struggles continued

this stuff is taking a while lol.... it's like, build skills, do assignments, go to class, make sure your needs don't get too low. i get that's the bulk of what happens in the sims but it's kinda tedious lol i want a+h to graduate already and they have another two semesters or something to go...

anyway to the point... i was thinking about :( lmao andy doing plant science at university, this is in canon universe now -- flashbacks to being in any academic education i've had in my life and crying out of frustration cuz im too dumb to read lmao. or well ok i am smart im just not booksmart OKAY.

so anyway i was thinking, following my previous post on this topic, one of the ways howard would be supportive is. ugh. being there for andy when he has a god damn breakdown over not being able to understand the content right away. like, just being there to be like. andy. come on. let's take a break.

cuz i know andy's over there sat at the table yelling WHAT THE HELL IS A EUKARYOTIC MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM?!!! (i have no idea what that means. thanks random study website for plant science keywords.) and just bursts into tears lmao. and howard is like ok that's enough.

and like, depending on the time of day, he'll suggest going for a walk or like. a little coffee at a little coffee shop or to look in some charity shops or something. not at peak times lol. late night coffee shops when it's quiet now that's a thought. i hadnt thought of that before but i guess it's cuz there isn't anything like that in walking distance from where i live.

i imagine andy near immediately apologises for raising his voice. it's not even directed at howard but i think he feels a bit like his dad whenever he does that. howard doesn't mind though. to him it's just an indicator of how andy is feeling.
