That must have been what I was thinking about - I still feel like there might have been something about high school too though, maybe in the ep where Smackle was trying to get Farkle to go to Einstein Academy...

^ We'll have to keep an eye out for that. =)

I wonder if Farkle knew about Stuart's Princeton plan, or if his graduation was the first time he heard about it.

starryeyesxx

You'd expect that he would have heard the plan many times

rocky845

^ Ah. Why do you think Farkle chose graduation as his moment to tell Stuart that he wants to go wherever his friends go?

starryeyesxx

Hmm, not sure, maybe just by having all his friends there, he had the confidence to say it?

rocky845

^ Ohhh. I love how Farkle told Stuart what his plan was. I like to think Farkle wanted to make sure Stuart had plenty of time to adjust to that plan before it became a reality.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I think he knew that the sooner he told his dad that, the better

rocky845

^ I think so too. I wonder if Farkle dropped some hints to Stuart that he wanted to go wherever his friends go before he told him his plan at graduation. Hopefully, he did, so that it wasn't too much of a surprise. =)

Maybe, it didn't seem like Stuart was too surprised by it - perhaps he'd noticed how important Farkle's friends were to him & had already suspected that Farkle would want to go to college with them

rocky845

^ Aw, I didn't think of that! I'm sure Stuart hoped that Farkle would follow his plan, but he was also prepared for that possibility that Farkle would want to go wherever his friends go.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I think he may have been in denial a little bit, but knew deep down that Farkle was going to choose his own path

rocky845

^ I agree. Stuart must have noticed that Farkle had a close friendship with his friends, so he must have prepared for the possibility that he would choose the same college/university.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, if he was as smart as he liked to think, he must have been prepared for contingencies like that

rocky845

^ Exactly. I think Stuart may have also checked in with Farkle every few months or once a year to find where his head was at. Then when Stuart sensed that Farkle might choose to go to the same college/university as his friends, he came up with his back-up plans to ensure that he would be prepared for that possibility. =)

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I'm sure he already had another plan in the works to give Farkle the best possible education
