One day, in the midst of my Hulu-ing, I stumbled upon a crazy, funny, literally made me LOL short web show called Dorm Life. I feverishly watched both seasons entirely over the course of two days. I often find college humor type shows silly as they seem to be written by people who either didn't GO, don't remember, or are trying to gloss over the reality. Dorm Life, however, is so over the top accurate on all the dorm haps I couldn't help but be sucked in. I love it so much I couldn't help but want to pass it on. (Hey. Hopefully it means that people will start talking and they will start creating new episodes. Can you blame me?)
The end of summer means Fall. And Fall means Back to School. (And new binders and pencils and things.)
It also means a lot of freshies trying out living on their own for the first time. If you forgot what it’s like check out Dorm Life for a good case of remembering.
And, See what elisa has to say about Back to School Blues.
Or, what alexis says about Back to School & Back to the 90’s.
According to the Wiki Dorm Life Is ...
… “a mockumentary web series created by former students of UCLA. It follows the fictional lives of the inhabitants of the college dorm floor 5 South. It is produced by Attention Span Media, a Los Angeles based social media studio and is a 2008 Webby Honoree for Best Writing and Comedy: Individual Short or Episode. Dorm Life is also Hulu’s most watched web show.
After a successful first season, Dorm Life returned for a second season with sponsor Carl’s Jr.”

Marshall Adams
What they say:
Marshall is the R.A. of 5 South. A competitive junior, he is very involved on campus, dominating at I.M. sports and singing in an a cappella group.
What I say:
I have a crush on him. Big. Crush. It must be the authority he holds? Or his popped collar?
Follow Marshall on Twitter
Mike Sanders
What they say:
Mike is a freshman who is excited to experience all that college has to offer. He is enjoying the floor while also adjusting to being away from his girlfriend, who is still in high-school.
What I say:
As a gal who had a boyfriend back home when I started school I could totally relate to the issues Mike had. OOPS … I just included a spoiler!
Josh Morgan
What they say:
Josh is an artistic freshman in the theatre department. He is a talented performer with a flare for the unusual.
What I say:
Josh is fantastic representation of how an “artsy” college kid should act. His facial expressions (and costumes) cracked me up.

In high school I managed to visit these dorms. Not sayin’ how. Not sayin’ with whom. All I’m sayin’ is that the people living in that dorm room had a keg in their closet.

Gopher Reed
What they say:
Gopher is a good-intentioned freshman. He loves partying and doesn’t take anything too seriously.
What I say:
Be sure to watch as the photos on his t-shirts change throughout the semesters. (And buy your own in the student store!)

My old co-worker (old meaning we don’t work together anymore not old as in age because she’s totally younger than me) and I used to drive through the HACC campus chuckling about possibly asking students where the dorms are.
HACC doesn’t HAVE dorms. And now I’m a student!

Daniel Benjamin
What they say:
Daniel is a freshman who, up to this point, had been home-schooled by his mom. Sheltered and conservative, he is trying to survive rooming with Shane and Gopher.
What I say:
Perfect, perfect nerd. My favorite scene involves Daniels first ever experience with the booze. If I remember correctly he tells his mom to “F Off” or something similar.
Shane Reilly
What they say:
Shane is a party animal. The freshman teeters on the edge of losing control, but also cares deeply about the floor and his friends.
What I say:
Love his hair.

Stephanie Schwartzman
What they say:
Steph is a very involved sophomore. She enjoys planning events, taking pictures, and making memories.
What I say:
She throws some fantastic parties. Even though she is the most annoying dorm floor-ian I can’t help but love her!
Abigail Brown
What they say:
Abigail is a shy freshman. Raised on a farm in a conservative family, she is adapting to the changes of college life.
What I say:
I tried to figure out just exactly where Abigail came from … In some ways she reminded me of the Amish but she definitely didn’t dress the part.

I’m sure this campus isn’t quite the same as Penn State Main Campus … but maybe that means more dorm hanging hijinx?

This is where I had my dorm life experience. I only survived one year before I moved out into the world of apartment living.
