Back in Rhode Island, it was typical for twenty year old Natalie Rinaldi to go to the nearest medical marijuana dispensary to pick up her prescription for her depression. Violet was an avid pot smoker, even before her doctor had given her the prescription. Now that Natalie has moved out to the West Coast to attend the University of California in Los Angeles starting this fall semester, she spends her last months of freedom smoking up her new apartment and trying to find some stoner friends. When she goes to her new local dispensary to pick up, she meets someone who heavily captures her attention. The two become close, and teach each other the true meaning of love and heartbreak, and what it is like to battle with depression and addiction. They show each other what is truly means for everything to go up in smoke.

Stroke
Previously known as "Mental Love." 17 years old Violet Cavalli considers herself an outcast for lack of better words, but in her defence most of the people who meet her think so, being unfortunately stuck with Asperger's, she was prevented from doing a lot of the things children her age could do in a heart beat, but for the time being going to school was on the top of her to do list and when she's granted her wish, we all know that things can never be simple. Ian Wildon is considered the school's outcast, he was literally shunned by the rest of his fellow schoolmates for his lack of anger management and self control, but this never bothered him completely, he liked being isolated, away from any human contact in the company of a pallet, paint and a huge canvas. What would happen if a person who hates human interaction and a person who lacks the ability to communicate with others cross paths, but as much as its not necessary for them to communicate they both hold a soft spot for one another. The road will never be smooth, instead its going to be bumpy and full of obstacles but we should never underestimate the power of love, and how two outcasts fight their way through the tough world in order to pursue their love...Complete

By working two jobs, Z hoped to move somewhere with them that had a room for her too. Little did she know life had other plans...

Admiring the Light
Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line? This story touches on potentially triggering content, including the use of slurs, toxic family relationships, anxiety, anger, and death.

The World According to Susie (stemxfem)
At 23, Susie feels like the poster child for "I Should've Dropped Out Years Ago." Trapped in the endless purgatory of university life, she's basically a hermit who's seen the vibrant social scene from afar-like a documentary on Netflix she didn't feel cool enough to click on. Her one lifeline? Rina, her ride-or-die best friend, who helps Susie survive the chaos of classes, friendships, and Susie's questionable romantic decisions. Between stressing over midterms and obsessing over whether Georgia's text messages have hidden meanings (spoiler: they don't), Susie shares her trials and tribulations with equal parts melodrama and accidental comedy. From awkwardly trying to "break out of her shell" to realizing that even hermits need human connection, Susie's journey is full of cringe-worthy yet heartfelt moments. Through it all, she learns that life outside her comfort zone isn't as terrifying as it seems-though it might require dragging Rina into a Halloween party or surviving a lab with her mortal enemy. With a mix of laughter, tears, and a lot of snacks, Susie's story shows that college isn't just about grades; it's about finding yourself, your people, and maybe your future. But, you know, after midterms.
