✔ “I’m getting too old for this”????

Bitty is a senior in college and also one million years old. Every kegster he has survived has aged him 90,000 years. When Louis screamed into the mic (Aside: did you know that the Haus now has a full functioning sound system thanks to one waffle named Lukas Landsmann?

It’s true! Thanks to Louis, a burgeoning DJ, the Haus den now has better audio/visual capabilities than most of the bars in Samwell, Massachusetts. A lot of Wellies ask why the hockey team’s house is super lit now and there are two rumors: (1) Jack Zimmermann still goes to hockey parties and used his Stanley Cup Money to make this place super fancy. (2) Louis is the son of a wealthy Swedish real estate mogul. Louis doesn’t go to class, he only plays hockey and DROPS THE BEAT. Anyway.) when Louis screamed into the mic that Our Captain Must Do A Kegster, Bitty aged another 90,000 years, right there on the spot. He is too old for this shit. He finally understood why Jack never went to parties.

✔ YO WHISKEY TALKED TO BITTY. Oh yeah. Remember when Bitty accidentally discovered Whiskey playing tonsil-hockey-lacrosse with a member of the Samwell men’s lacrosse team? And then Bitty proceeded to stress out about what he should do? And then Jack, his wise boyfriend, told Bitty to leave it alone and let Whiskey do what he wants? And then Whiskey finally decided to talk to Bitty??? Remember??? Whiskey and Bitty are foils in that Bitty is open, expressive, and is eager to bring people into his life (dude has a vlog), while Whiskey is…not that. And that’s hard for Bitty to wrap his head around.

✔ And whose car was that??? Find out in April!
