MTV’s College Life: It’s Not Easy, and it’s not that hard

Whether you have heard about it or not, MTV’s the College Life is festering up a lot of comments about the show and its credibility. Since there are no camera crews and the students actually film themselves there is a lot of room for maneuvering, or is there. MTV’s College life follows a couple different college students on their quest for love, lust, relationships, partying, and school. MTV essentially gave the assignment to some college students to document their freshmen year in a real and honest way. This combination of events causes for a lot of drama no matter what college you are attending and is clearly shown through the tapings of the everyday lives of these college students.

Since these students tape their own mini webisodes it is ultimately up to them what reaches the air and what does not. College poses its own problems let alone having to deal with taping it all at the same time. Whether these students are the real deal and are just trying to have an outlet for their emotions, to be able to document their lives, or to have a sort of scrapbook of their time in college we will never know. However what we do know is that these students are living their college lives fully and on camera. When you are in college there is always another issues waiting around the corner, there is always another test in a matter of weeks, and there is always going to be that party that you got too drunk at. Whether or not these college students are going to let us see how they deal with these issues is up to them, and it is up to us whether or not we call them out on it or not.

Being in college is not easy, but it is not THAT hard either. The students on MTV College Life have to learn how to balance their partying and studying to be able to even stay in college. They have to determine how they want to “play the field” either by going the one night stand route or the relationship route. They must determine whether or not it is worth getting into a relationship with someone who has a crazy ex-girlfriend.

These are just the typical issues that new freshmen deal with, and they better figure out fast how they are going to deal with it because these are the types of issues that are going to be apparent in their lives for the next four years. The partying, the pranks, the drama, the tests, it is all real and it is all being documented on MTV College Life. If you have already graduated from college, you want to go back and if you haven’t, you are dying to go.
