Mercedes gave a brief shrug of her shoulder. "You always did struggle to put others' feelings ahead of your own. I don't know if that's still a bad habit of yours, but it always seemed to be an impossible one for you to shake. Even after you got yourself in trouble and probably could've used all the friends in the world, you gave us the flick because you were selfish and couldn't share. Here's hoping you have grown outta that on some level or it could be a lonely life you got. And yeah, a lot of us are here. Even more now Mike and Quinn have come here for med school and law school respectively. Outta New Directions, I think we got them, Kurt, Finn, Puck. Then there's Nick and Jeff from the Warblers with Blaine. Kurt was the one who got into college here first, we just all followed."

"I do like it. Once you get outta the McKinley box to think outside of it, a whole new world starts to open up for you. Ain't any of us really went into performing as loud as we declared we would back in school. We all do hang at a local Karaoke bar a lot, though. At least once every few weeks. It's like a tradition, can't ever really shake music from a person. So are you married? Kids?" she asked.
