Freshman Diaries

Captures the time of life when you leave home and find yourself and experience a bit of the world outside your childhood. anyway, the kids in the show are great and fun and even if they are different from you, what they are going through is pretty universal and if you can't relate to it then you have no imagination whatsoever. anyway, i can't wait to see the rest of the series and only wish there was more "reality tv" like this as real life is pretty interesting when you actually deal with it and interact with other people.
