Emily Roses is done with love. After getting played by a narcissist and then having to break up with the perfect guy because he didn't want to do long distance, she's decided college is strictly for fun. No relationships. No falling. Just good times and zero attachments. Then she meets Calvin Waterman. Calvin was treated like a plague in his high school years thanks to his older brother, so his priorities are focused on the career his parents want him to pursue. He's awkward, sensitive, and completely unaware that he's the sweetest guy Emily has ever met. And that shouldn't matter; she's sworn off love, after all. But somehow, between study sessions, joint running sessions the non-athletes find themselves doing for "being healthy", and the way he looks at her like she's the best part of his day, Calvin starts to feel like something she can't afford to lose. The sugar donuts they share after their runs are a whole lot sweeter, and somehow it's not exactly the friendship kind of sweet. • • • Book 1 of the University Days Love Collection Takes place during Season 1 of the University Days Comic Series; the unseen love story that develops between the blabbermouth sunshine girl and the shy science guy.

Would you go to the same university as the person you've shared everything with for your entire life? For melodramatic twin sisters, Emily and Sarah Roses, they find it can be both fun and exhausting. Follow along on their adventure of navigating college life as first-year students. ~ ~ ~ There's an editing process going on, and I'm redrawing as well as rescripting most of this. I apologize for the inconsistency at the moment, it'll all be placed together when it's ready.

Last year, a pair of inseparable twin sisters were torn apart by stress and their differences in the relatively smooth first year of university. Over the break, Emily and Sarah Roses were able to reconnect and mend their friendship. When a familiar face moves in next door, Emily's relationship with her boyfriend falls apart, and pressures arise, will the sisters be able to make it through the year together stronger or will their friendship be strained?

The third year of university tends to be pretty hardcore, and it's no exception to the twins and their friends. Emily's grades fall in her classes of the major she picked to stay close to her sister, being that she has no interest in it. After learning about her best friend's major, there's an international internship for it and it's one she can't walk away from. Problem is, she doesn't want to tell Sarah until the last minute. Sarah's social anxiety and trouble with an old nemesis from her high school lands her in a boat of trouble. Following Calvin's breakup with Emily, those two keep seeming to find themselves flipping back and forth on different ends of the wanting to get back together spectrum. With it being Calvin's senior year, they're running out of time. Mia finds that her ex-boyfriend who broke up with her when she moved to attend an out-of-state college moved into the same ground floor of her dorm.

Part I: There's a new dynamic in the group now that Sarah's got a BFF. Tensions rise, and Emily feels herself changing for the worst. Part II: Just when things seem to start coming together for Emily and Sarah, a tragedy strikes. One of the twins must learn to move forward in adulthood faster than she ever could've imagined.

As the driver in the car crash, Calvin feels responsible and lets the guilt eat away at him. His grades crash, he's not graduating alongside his friends, and his family's disappointed. Sarah lost the person who spoke for her, protected her, and who always made sure she felt safe. Nothing will ever be the same for her. Mia, hardly having known the girl safe for most argumentative conversations, does her best to check in on her friends. When a friend from her old life comes around, her confidence is shaken. How can they fix these things?

Sarah and her sister go to their childhood beach, only to find that it's become horribly polluted over the years. * * * The cover was drawn by me, and the characters are my own. This story was made for the #PlanetOrPlastic Contest held by the WattPad account for National Geographic.
