Every group of friends has it, that show that they get together once a week to watch. For some people it’s Lost or Heroes, for others it’s Project Runway or Desperate Housewives, for my crew it’s One Tree Hill.
I had never even seen the show before I came here. Most of the time I go home on the weekends to work and see my family and friends, but one weekend I decided to stay at the dorms. With nothing better to do, one of my suitemates pulled out her entire One Tree Hill seasons collection. I spent the next two days glued to the television, completely infatuated in the lives of these characters. At one point it was so bad that I even contemplated skipping meals so that I would have more One Tree Hill time.
Girl’s Night in is now every Tuesday night at 9:00 in room N406. We fit about six of us on two beds, each in our own self-proclaimed OTH seat. We stare intently at the televisions as our favorite characters take part in this week’s adventures, muting it during commercials to discuss the scene we just witnessed, screaming and pointing at the TV as if to say “turn the volume back on,” when our favorite commercial comes on, or the show returns. I think it’s good for all college students to have that one time span a week to guarantee some time off from homework and to relieve stress.
