Conflict of interest here. ✨

uh-oh… again (to which social event will Tiffany attend?)

I am wondering what do they study in Communal Study to Classical Music. Even the name suggest it will be boring.

So, does Stef know that her boyfriend invited Tffany to the Blacklight Blackjack? Is that the same party that Stef is going to? Which party will Tiffany go to? How will she keep buzz-kill Bernice from finding out about Blacklight Blackjack? Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh look! Tiff is wearing her new all-black party clothes! Planning to head for “The Blackout” and play “Blacklight Blackjack”, lookin’ like a “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress!”

i’m curious about that too does she know? which makes me wonder if there will be a love triangle between Tiffany and her new roomie and her BF?

Come on, let’s make it a threesome. Wait, let me rephrase that.

“Communal study to classical music.” Likely the least productive. For me, music is always a distraction unless I am there specifically to focus on it – then I soak it up like a sponge. And how does “communal” help when you are studying?

Tiffany’s figure is once again resembling an hour-glass. Who knew that studying could have that effect?!

Well Tiffany sure doesn’t look like she dressed for a night of any kind of study. She is quite dazzling! Next to Stef it is so easy to the the difference of a rather cheap looking beauty and one with a bit more class. Stef can’t hold a candle to Tiff.

Well darn. Yesterday I’d have argued that Tiffany wanting to go to the party didn’t mean she was thinking of making a play for Stef’s boyfriend. Today, I’m reluctantly concluding that that’s at least part of the reason she wants to go “par-tay!”

Stiffen up your spine Tiffany; if you’re gonna blow off studying, at least blow it off doing what you want to do.

Hey! They didn’t used to have keycards in the dorms. When were those installed?

Fate has intervened with Tiffany with Bernice and Stefanie standing in front of your doorstep.Why is Stefanie not at the Blackout Party?Is Stefanie going to be curious about your outfit?Is Tiffany going to dodge the bullet? And study instead?

Tiffany has this deer carlght-in-the-eyes look. Yep, that confirmed she was invited to a different party by Kip. Or is that in reference to the fact Kip invited her and she is dressed to the nines to impress him and hook him? Both probably. I guess she thought Stef was already gone to her party and didn’t expect her to be right at their room door.

Here’s a wild COFFEE deprived idea Tiffany.

Why not divide your time and attend BOTH parties? Just make SURE you attend the “Study Ball” FIRST, and actually study and not spend the time “watching the clock.” Then make some lame excuse and head over to that “Blacklisted” thing over at Kip’s. The debauchery should be in full swing by then. Just make sure you’re not followed.

And I STILL say Stef doesn’t KNOW about that party at Kip’s’.

Sure, Stef – you’ll be at cheer practice. Liar.

Great first meeting between Stefani and Bernice the friendly looks R.A. I like the naturalness with which Stef says she has practice to hide that she’s going to a party. But it looks like Tiffany will have to sacrifice herself and go with Bernice. Which is good, because Tiffany NEED to study and doing it in a group could help her.

Maybe Steff will tell Bernice that Tiffany will go to the Boring Ball, in order to keep her away from her man, Kip.

what I would like to know is how does she keep in college if she does not keep her grades up?

ruh roh!

the ra calling someone by their last name/

So if the panels are understood in context of yesterdays panel, then Stefi does not know about the “secret” Blacklit Blackjack hall party, party, although Kip, her QT QB BF came specifically to get TIffany to come to it. So he wants to include Tiffany in who knows what, but does not sound that good, without Stef knowing, and judging by Tiff’s outfit, she is ready to PARTAY. Bernie’s alternative is kind of boring, but Tiff is in a pickle. Stef will wonder why Tiffany is dressed the way she is, as will Bernie. Logic tells me that Stef does not know about the “secret” party either. Train wreck!! Then of course Stef could be fibbing. But still Stef, in the Monday panel invited Tiffany to the Student Center to hand out. So???? Is she fibbing, but does not know about the “secret” party? Does she know about it? Bernie, if she finds out will put the hammer down. And poor Tiffany. Train wreck no matter which way.

AHA! Stef is at cheer practice? Tiff is at “The Blackout?” Kip is at “The Blackout?” …

♬Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,

_ Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;_

_ For we have received orders to sail back to Boston,_

And we may never see you again.♬

Cue Jaws Theme!

Stef and Tiff are destined to be BFF’s or mortal enemies after this. Tho’ I don’t really see how the latter will play out.

Did Tiffany just set a world record for highest eyebrow lift?

Tiffany looks awesome!!!! Sleek, flattering black outfit and maybe a little bit of Spanx going on underneath there?! She definitely has reached a good healthy weight now. Let’s see how she’s going to handle this turn of events.

Tiff goes to “Study Ball” and blackout party get’s raided. Tiff gets blamed for being a snitch. Drama.

I think Tiff just bought herself a girdle.

So, is Tiffany sneaking behind Stef’s back – going out with her boyfriend? And if yes, would Tiffany really do that?

I think the only character considering Tiff going for Kip is Steph. She is passive-aggressive enough in her infantilizing of Tiffany to make me suspect that, along with her push for Tiffany to go to study ball, and that soon after she suggested she drop studying and hang at the student union.

(Nerd note: I think Study Ball sounds like a great idea. Wish my dorm did that back in my day)

I think Tiff dropped any idea of seducing Kip once she found out he had a girlfriend. She left that persona back in high school. I think she, Gunther, and Les are the characters that have grown the most since this reboot into adults.

Has Tiffany been losing weight?

It’s that old “deer in the headlights” look again. Been down this road before Tiff?

Aha, the plot thickens! Does Stef really have cheer practice or avoiding the study? Does she think that fast on her feet! Was dear ole Kip being devious in inviting Tiff to his room w/o Stef? And Tiff is caught party-ready and confused again. If she mentions Kip’s party to Stef and Stef wasn’t invited, Kip will have some ‘splaining to do. And Bernice’s reaction! Wow, this is loaded with underlying drama today! :-o

The bow kills me

Tiff and soical events don’t go together.

Shouldn’t that be Ms. Bird, Bernice?

Honestly, does any college student, RA or not, call another college student “Miss”?

she looks great.

Tiffany…. when it rains, it pours…. it seems. Too damn many offers…. all of which have at least some modicum of value.

I know it is hard to do…. but…. best bet would be to either a) pick based upon which is most valuable for you in the long run, or b) (like Mordy suggested) do a bit of all of the items… but do them in the order of best benefit…. study… then go play.

Where (or when) do these people live that all female characters are either “Miss” or “Mrs”? Yemen? 1920?

Tiff could go to the study hall and meet someone there who is much more interesting than Kip.

Stand back, Stef. Tiffany has gird her loins and will enter the old arena where she has known (or imagined) great victories. Stef will cower and Kip will be totally intimidated. You really nailed it, Ms. Tiffany.

Stef takes one look and decides Tiff needs to be at the study hall and out of harm’s way (i.e. possible harm to her).

Cheer Practice? Is that what they are calling Strip Blackjack these days?

I’d love to be there, but I have this terrible headache, ingrown toenail, halitosis, dandruff, claustrophobia, allergy to classical music, fear of herds of nerds, etc..

Ugh! The Iron R.A. is now leading study sessions for the socially impaired. Tiff, beg off, do whatever it takes, but don’t go with Bernie’s Boring Bash. Head for the secret Hall A party. -Which, let us hope, is what Stephanie Bird really means by “cheer practice”-‘cause if it isn’t, tough times are ahead for Kip the QT QB, Stephanie, and (caught in between) our Tiffany….

Saved from the fire.

Santa?

This was a familiar conundrum I had in college. I still don’t know how I passed my classes!
