The only thing that this introverted Honors student ever expected to gain from her time at the University of Connecticut was a BS in Psychology, but it doesn't take long for her to realize that she'll be walking away with a little more than just a degree.

*****

For Avery Herek, freshman year of college brings far more than just newfound friendships and independence. She believes her days of obscurity are finally over, when beloved frat boy and star running back, Gannon Brooks, takes notice of her on the first day. But, when her new boyfriend turns out to be the devil in disguise, and her only meaningful friendship is on the brink of extinction, she wonders if college will build her or destroy her.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

And she was the most beautiful girl he had ever encountered. He didn't know how he could've missed her back then. But it was his mistake. Because that didn't matter anymore. Nothing did.

What I Should Have Done ✓ by katrin_writes

|*| Ambassador-featured |*| 2022 Bootcamp Mentee |*| Grace Bellamy knows exactly how her junior year at a prestigious New England liberal arts college will go: good grades, an established social niche, and a clear vision for the future, all to stay on track for grad school and a successful career in psychology. None of these plans include the charming, but unavailable soccer player John Jay. But then her carefully constructed plans threaten to collapse like a house of cards: her academic goals are put in jeopardy, old family wounds break open, and, on top of all, trying not to fall for the athlete who represents all the privilege she despises proves more and more difficult-and leaves her boyfriend less and less understanding of their friendship. When given an opportunity and an ultimatum, Grace is forced to question if her values and beliefs are really her own. Suddenly she stands to lose it all. Can she figure out in time what she truly wants?

Keeping Secrets by BlueEyedSwede

Peyton has always been the girl who flies under the radar-ordinary, average, never one to stand out. But that all changes on her first day of college when she's struck by a football and knocked to the ground in front of the football team, and even worse-her over-the-top, dramatic mother. The one good thing to come from the humiliating event: she meets Max, the campus' charming and popular football star. Their unlikely friendship pulls her into a world she's never known, giving her all-access to exclusive parties and the popular crowd. But it also sparks jealousy and draws the kind of attention she never asked for. Things get even more complicated when Peyton falls for Beau, the irresistible guitarist of Trudge Lite, the up-and-coming band everyone's talking about. She knows he's the ultimate heartbreaker and tries to keep things casual. Caught between wanting what she shouldn't, navigating shifting friendships, and keeping secrets that grow heavier by the day, Peyton soon realizes that some lines aren't so easy to draw, let alone keep. Trying to balance it all, Peyton and Max keep up careful charades, not only from those around them but also from each other. Soon they'll learn that secrets have a way of unraveling, no matter how carefully they're guarded. Peyton will have to decide what and who she's willing to risk it all for.
