Finals approach and with that, Jennie falls into the unhealthy cycle of a stressed out college student.
She pulls all-nighters reading over whatever her eyes can read only to sleep during odd hours of the day. Her diet consists mainly of ramen, coffee and gatorade, and she's almost sure that she's losing more and more hair each day.
Between waking up and scavenging the library for a seat, her days don't amount to much more than cramming the last few case studies.
She starts the day off badly. Waking up past her intended time - which isn't even that early - she finally makes her way towards the main library by four.
Each of the girls have their own schedules with their exams beckoning. Lisa's either in her room studying Lit or with her Music friends. Jisoo's sought solace in Sana's apartment while Rosie goes for a more rom-com possibility approach, choosing instead to study in little hipster cafés save for the fact that she's stressing out too much to even check anyone out.
Besides Jennie, Irene's the only other one that stays loyal to the library.
For now, Jennie's frowning down at her phone, trying to follow the directions she'd received to find her saved seat, proving harder than should be.
She's on her second round of searches of the ground floor when she finally spots her, brown hair tied up in a messy bun sitting on the corner table.
"Only took you like, an hour," she greets with a playful sarcasm before she moves her bag off the chair next to her for Jennie to settle there.
Jennie refrains from the 'Shut up', on her tongue as she pulls her into a side hug as a greeting. "Had a long night," Jennie groans as her explanation.
"Mhm," she hums, "Now, can we or can we not go over each other's notes? Because I'm really behind on regionalism shit."
As much as Jennie wants to retort something sassy, their paper is less than a week away and she doesn't quite have the energy to muster something smart up, so instead, she just hands Deb her notebook that she pulls from her bag, mutters for her to 'turn to the page with the pink tab'.
Jennie reads over Deb's notes while she does the same.
They've both come to an agreement to split the topics between each other, then to exchange notes to save both their time and their brains from going into overdrive.
Before she knows it, she's revised two and a half chapters and it's five hours later.
"I'm going to eat something with the girls," Deb tells her, "I'll see you tomorrow?" she asks as she packs up her things.
Jennie's already so defeated she barely musters a nod before Deb flashes her a lazy smile and bids a 'see ya, Jen,' before she heads off.
She lets her head rest for all of three full seconds when her name's being heard again.
