The Kirkwood Life

"The Kirkwood Life" would consist of the students we come across on a daily basis. There will be:
1. The baseball boy who always wears his cap and typically only hangs out with his crew... the "baseball crew."
2. The dude who has been here way too long and most likely a stoner.
3. The kid who plays Magic with his buddies in the cafeteria everyday.
4. The high schooler living a double life.
5. The quiet girl.
6. The innovative music lover.
7. The foreign exchange student.
And 8. The creepy hallway lingerer. (Because why not?)
These students could be different ethnicities and have varied sexual preferences. When it comes to reality shows, the casting crew normally picks people who are obviously diverse. In my show I wouldn't try to mush these 8 "characters" together. I would show them in their regular friend groups and normal settings (but not in class because that's boring). The reason for this is because everyone has different personalities and their own contrasting dramas. For example, these possible situations could occur: the baseball crew is getting ready for a big game and one guy is failing a class and not eligible to play, the stoner gets caught smoking on campus and doesn't give a f*ck, the Magic player isn't able to make it to the match and has to deal with the consequences, the high schooler is overwhelmed with everything and has to pick a side, the music lover finds something else to love (hint: a person), and the creeper finds one single soul to admire and goes all out (this character is my favorite, imagine him turning out to be the most charming dude at Kwood). When the weekend comes there will be a special event--kind of like our "welcome week" festivities. This is when we would make the 8 bump paths. The rest is up to them. Their individual dramas might collide and create the best thing ever.

  1. Good posting! You really tell it like it is, I enjoyed reading your point of view on Kirkwood Life. I would agree with you that everyone has different personalities and their own dramas mainly because everyone is unique and no to people are the same. Again great posting!
