Hazards of Hangouts

Heyo,

A list (because it seems to be a list week) for your College Plus enjoyment:
  1. If you are a College Plus student you will update your Gmail chat to hangouts 
  2. Add all your new friends (you've never had friends before)
  3. Schedule a hangout by posting it somewhere or randomly inviting people you don't know
  4. Understand people can only come late at night
  5. Be prepared for no sleep (add caffeine to your life)
  6. Start the call
  7. Close your bedroom door (because who needs family)
  8. Check out special affects
  9. Add bowties, fire hats, and glasses -all in shades of red- to people if conversation cuts out
  10. Or simply play crickets
  11. If you leave early (because sleep or family)  you are pranked
  12. People wonder why you are being "congratulated" on Facebook
  13. This leads to awkwardness
  14. You become addicted anyway, because you are so desperate for friends
  15. Schedule another five hangouts while 'planning' at least five other 'random' ones
  16. Random ones are the best
  17. Mostly because they confuse your family
  18. "Is she talking to herself?"
  19. "Okay laughing at nothing, is not normal."
  20. "Wrong. It is the screaming that makes our child especially crazy."
  21. The next morning when you wake up with that hangout hangover, your family will be the first ones to ask "How was the hangout?" "How late were you up?"
  22. You yawn, beginning to rethink that last hour
  23. No, that last hour was the best
  24. You can't decide if you were up really late, or far to early...
  25. So you just make yourself a cup of coffee
  26. Only to fall asleep trying to do actual school
  27. Wake up only to eat and join another call with people across state and sometimes cross-country barriers
  28. Who cares about school? *The B never bothered me anyway*
  29. Oh wait, you only have to pass this College Plus stuff, there never was an A
  30. YAY
  31. That excitement pales in comparison to the joy of hangouts
  32. Because for the first time in your sheltered life, you have friends
  33. This results in having a home everywhere
  34. So much so that you hardly are known in your own home.
  35. Still you make The Call

P.S. Because I go to a NORMAL school, I have a math test tomorrow that requires I get at least a 95% or preferably 100% . Prayers are appreciated.
