#PRIMPLIFE FAVORITES

Favorite RulePrimp Rule #38 (p.41-42)

College, the thing we have been working our whole lives for, the magic word, the big key, and for some the way out of our parents’

house. Make it an academic experience and a life changing one. After college, the real world starts!

Favorite MisterMr. Almost Perfect SIKE NAW Not

Really (p.82-83)The bootleg Prince Charming. " He is

just what we described .. "almost perfect but not really. " So really take caution or you will be telling yourself

SIKE NAW !!• Why girls should avoid these

types : Because he is sneaky and deceptive and no girl deserves to be lied too.
