Ungrateful Bliss
There was an actual mini-fridge next to his bed doubling as a bedside table, and some phone chargers scattered over it along with what I suspected was a retainer case.

A blog about love, loss, & the college student down the street.

Jake Nead
The college student down the street.
Also plays lots of video games.
Played football in small town southern high school but injured his knee, making his college scholarship a bust.
Very much aware of how girls see him and is sometimes irritated by the attention, sometimes not.
He surfs when he can get to the East Coast.
Doting dog parent to Milo.
Thinking about taking a gap year to travel and hike some mountain trails.
