Aw, why nervous, Dippin’ Dots? You shouldn’t be! But regardless, we’ve got a whole summer to enjoy, so just try and forget about it for now! That’s totally fair. Not everyone can be as positive as I am about stuff. At least you’re halfway there, though!

Because the idea of being a senior is completely terrifying. I have no idea what I’m meant to do after school. But, yeah, you’re right, I can save the panic attacks until fall. Maybe by the end of the summer I’ll reach your level of positivity. A girl can hope.

Me and my brothers grew up doing the same thing. Just add water balloons and super soakers and top it off with some muddy flag football. You’re a little more put together than most chicks I know that grew up in a house full of guys.

It’s whatever. 

That’s nice, I mean I don’t think I could see myself playing football with my brothers full stop, let alone in the mud, but doing that stuff with my brothers was highkey always the best part of my summer. Huh, I guess you’re right. I mean I’m also a lot more social inept and emotional then most of those girls too but stuff always happens for a reasons. Maybe if I had sisters I’d be super cool and popular and outgoing or something, who knows.

I’m not even going to pretend like I know what a bedazzled dust-bath ball is. And don’t doubt your abilities. The people that hired you obviously can’t take care of it either so, like, don’t freak out or anything. …So say I knew a friend that really wanted to pet the chinchilla. Would that be cool for him to do so?

They’re little plastic balls filled with dust because that’s how Chinchilla’s bath. But this one’s been brutalized with hot pink rhinestones. I’m thinking that if I can get through a Chinchilla, I’ll be able to take care of any kind of dog or cat thrown my way. Freaking out is pretty much my defining personality trait so I dunno about that. I’d say that they can stop over whenever because I need all the help I can get.

If you stop by, I’ll be more than happy to give you a break from any animals you’re watching. For 100% customer service reasons, not because I’m at all jealous of you hanging out with animals all day.

There’s enough pet love to go around! That sounds like loads of fun, and I know lots of people will give you a lot of money for taking care of their animals – so you’re going to have lots to save over the summer. I’ll send you rescue lint rollers if you ever need any!

Awesome! I don’t think bringing them with me would really work out anyways, some of those dogs are big. It wouldn’t be great for business.

Totally. I guess this is what happens when your parents refuse to get you a pet until your 17, you develop a big need for animals around you all the time. I’ve already got some good money out of it and I’ve only been doing it a couple of days, so things are looking good.

Literally, every time you talk, I do my best not to try and run into a wall at full speed. Like, what the hell is ZOMBIES? “Stuff”? Cheerios do more than kicks, flips and stuff.

Do I look like a scruffy college chauffeur? I’m going to be working as the sexy lifeguard I am, twinkletoes. Uber driving seems more catered to your side of life.

Oh, well, don’t go and do that...And, uh, ZOMBIES is a movie, a Disney movie, it’s about a bunch of cheerleaders and there’s also zombies and singing and it’s about...racism. I mean, I haven’t really done my research on Cheerio things so I don’t really know what kind of stuff you do.

Is anybody else super excited for summer break!? I know it was a bummer that we lost at Regionals, but we’re gonna come back even stronger next year, so it’s okay! Especially if I get a competition solo or Mase and I get a duet. I’d say a solo for Mase too, but I don’t want to be too greedy, you know? Anyway! It’s time to do a complete 180 and make this summer the most fun ever! Hopefully you guys are on the same hype train as me!

I’m pretty excited, yeah! Also super nervous for the school year but I’m trying not to think about all that. Yeah, the regionals thing was...something. But I’m sure the break will get everyone back on their feet. Fingers crossed for your solos. I’m excited to sit and watch them! I wouldn’t say I’m on the hype trains, more like the content train but I’m happy with that.

As much as I’m going to miss summers hanging out and camping and swimming and everything else that summer is for, it looks like a decent part of my summer is going to be spent indoors this year. With books. Earning money. Because I finally got the green light to have a summer job! If you’re ever in the same neighborhood as ‘As The Page Turns’, I’ll be there to help you out.

And yeah, it was mostly the employee discount that won me over.

Ooh, lucky! That sounds like a legit great job, I have a bunch of books I wanna buy so I’ll totally stop by! 

I’m taking over from my brother, he usually walks dogs and pet sits every summer but he’s spending summer with his fiance in Nagoya so I’m taking the reins. I’m not complaining about getting to spend time with adorable animals but I am a lil nervous that my actual pets are gonna get jealous.

Let’s say, hypothetically, I know a guy who’s got a Barack Obama Chia Pet he cares a lot about but he’s not so good about watering it daily. What sort of deal could you offer him since the pet’s not an animal?

I think that I’d happily give said Chia Pet plenty of sun and water and a wonderful spot on the piano so I can keep a good eye on it. And I’d also happily do it for minimum wage.

Of course! Come on over and have a look see. You show up quite a bit. Isn’t that crazy? I feel like we’ve been in school together so long now, imagining you graduating and leaving McKinley is kind of scary. Don’t worry Tina 2.0 is just normal Tina with extra confidence and refined fashion sense.

I have so many pictures from Mean Girls that I need to find a place to put, maybe I should start scrap-booking too. I know, right? Jeez, graduating, going to college, leaving home. I’m absolutely terrified. Well I’m excited to see her! I think I’m just going to stay as Dottie 1.0 for now.

How lame. What the hell do you do to have fun in this heat? My dad is a fucking pushover. He’d probably pretend to not notice. Just like he pretends that he’s in a loving marriage. 

Well I usually just put my feet in, or stick to the wading pool if there’s one. I really like running through sprinklers and stuff though! That’s pretty fun, me and my brothers used to do it almost everyday of summer when we were younger. Oh...well that kinda suck but I guess it’s good for you. Oh God...that...that really sucks Dave. I’m really sorry.

It’s going to be a pretty good summer. Less mouth-breathing posers in my face. More pool parties. Plus my dad is leaving on a summer-long business trip and leaving behind all his pricey liquor. Needless to say, Dave Karofsky should be on all of your party invite lists. 

Sounds fun. I can’t really swim so I usually stay away from pool parties. And pools in general. Huh, won’t your dad be angry when he comes home and sees all his stuff is missing? Because I know my dad wouldn’t like that.

Holding a Regionals trophy is exactly how I knew my school year would have ended, so sorry some of y’all can’t relate. 

Anyway between dance, parties, making cash this summer, being better than all your wcws and taking care of my daddy’s devil spawn, I’m going to be uber busy so you should book ahead if you want my amazing appearance at any of your events.

Yeah, I heard about that. Congrats! I don’t know a whole lot about cheer-leading besides what I’ve seen in Z-O-M-B-I-E-S but I’m sure you did great with you kicks and....your....flips.....and stuff.
