High School + The Hard Times of RJ Berger Series Finale

It is currently 12:03 AM and I just finished watching the season finale of the new MTV sitcom The Hard Times of RJ Berger and it was perfect.

The Hard Times of RJ Berger describes my expectations of the high school experience perfectly.  RJ is a loveable nerd.  You know the type.  He wants to get his dream girl and blah blah blah.  But thing about The Hard Times is that it is really one of the best things to come out of MTV in ages.  First of all, it's a scripted show, unlike all but maybe 3 of MTV's typical programming.  Second, it is purely funny.  Every single episode has me laugh out loud at the jokes that we all tell in school about growing up and yes, sex.  Third, the show seems seamless.  The quirky characters and witty dialogue make for amazing TV but I think any viewer, old or young will have a connection to The Hard Times.

Going into high school in about 2 weeks makes me wonder if all of the movies and TV shows are right. The Hard Times finale really stuck a cord with me.  It wasn't like all of the other episodes that were purely about avoiding bullies or the need for girls and parties, it was about life and doing the right thing and showing that it's really about the people who you already have in your life that already like you for who you are that matter.  Forget about cliques and reputations because true friends is what high school is about. 

The Hard Times finale gave me hope for high school.  If you make friends that truely are your friends no matter what, high school will be the thrill of a lifetime.

WELL WASNT THAT AN INSPIRING ENTRY!?!
