Summer Break

The Summer Break arc is the story arc which follows the first year of the characters' College arc and the first official break in the College arc since its beginning nearly a year prior to the beginning of the Summer Break arc, though the College arc still plays an important role in character development, with Forrest, desperate to finish college, continues taking classes off-screen, negatively impacting his sleep and health. This arc is delineated not only by the end of the first year of college, but also by the radical change which having the original group all back in town imposes on the group's dynamic during the arc.
