There are shows you should watch because they are really well written. There are shows you should watch because the acting is really good. Then there are shows you should watch because they are a guilty pleasure. This is why I was curled up on my couch at 8pm last night to watch the season 2 premiere of Greek. It is a show on abc Family; I am a college student. It is a show that brings out the worst stereotypes of Greek life; I am the president of my women’s fraternity. But in terms of absolute guilty pleasure-filled goodness, this show hits it. The guys are good-looking, the girls are perfectly bubbly and sorority girl stereotyped and the drama is compacted perfectly within an hour.
Maybe this show is for high school girls, busy im-ing the cute boy in class and flat-ironing their hair. But I was never one of those girls. I was the girl who was too busy studying for her AP Euro exam and writing an advanced French composition after a three hour lacrosse practice and an hour of newspaper lay-out to even think about anything other than sleep. I think, now that I’ve hit college and am almost 21, I am entitled to one show of guilty pleasure. I’m entitled one solid hour of drama and cute boys, an hour that completely stereotypes my current college status. I will continue to obsess over the cute Kappa Tau president and wish that my school could have one boy just half as cute as him. Now for a big valley girl sigh.
