I promise it gets better. The virginity thing and career are a work in progress. I started dating one of the nude models from my art class, so I'm already killing two birds with one stone.

He doesn't even exist. I mean, he does, but he doesn't know I exist. It's not like my best friend's hot, older, Scottish half brother is remotely even an option.
