Counting Down the Days

Spring 2033 - Windenburg University, Windenburg, Germany 
Lily Gates-Watson is 22

The last four years have gone by in a blur. Sometimes Lily isn't sure that it really is her last semester of college, her last semester on the other side of the ocean away from her family.

Not that her life back in the United States will have her only a few feet from her mom and dad. She plans to move to Britechester in the fall and rent a townhouse with Ethan and Adam while they finish their degrees. 

But she knows she'll miss these days of hanging out with Lana and Alana. They all promise to keep texting and calling each other. Lana will be going back home to Forgotten Hollow, Ireland, and Alana will be going to a job already lined up in Evergreen Harbor, Mississippi. They won't have these afternoons of meeting up in town to gossip about their dormmates or make plans to go out to the local clubs.

She's really going to miss them.

And Lily will miss the history around her in Windenburg. She came to school here to learn more and get a close look at things she can't find back home while she worked toward her degree in history.

It's going to be hard not having these quiet walks among the ruins like she enjoys.

And she'll miss Corrine. They've gotten to know each other better over this last year and Lily has loved having someone she can ask about the history of Sixam life that she can tell Ethan about so that he knows more about that part of his family line. 

Corrine always answers her questions with no complaints, and Lily tells her about what she knows about Ethan's family history. Corrine says she'll come to Britechester sometime to meet Ethan, or else maybe Ethan and Lily can come to San Myshuno to meet Corrine's family when they have a chance.

Lily would love that. "Ethan needs to get away from the same old sights he sees. I'm sure I can convince him to take a trip to the big city."

This life is all coming to an end so fast and it will be over before Lily knows it. She was lonely when she started that first semester here, but now she has three friends she hopes she really can keep in touch with after this last semester is over.

But still, she's also looking forward to seeing her parents and brother and especially Ethan again.

Pine State University, Arcadia, North Carolina

Yori Hayashi is 23

His final semester at Pine State University is quiet and a bit lonely. Baine and Violet are now across the country in Del Sol Valley and Kat is halfway across the country in Evergreen Harbor. It's hard, but Yori puts his focus on getting it all done so he and Kat can move onto the next stage of their lives.

------------------

Both Yori and Lily are now college graduates! Lily will be moving to Britechester to live with Ethan while he finishes his degree and Yori will be moving to Evergreen Harbor with Kat. I didn't have any other pictures of Yori's time because I had gotten tired of playing university households by the time I got to him, lol. I just fast forwarded through his time there and only had this one picture to use.

I will now be ending Pine State University, the school I made up before the release of Discover University. I have enough university households to handle in Britechester alone, lol. I will still have students away in Windenburg sometimes, but my focus will be Foxbury and Britechester.
