Bitter Disappointment

So I tuned into Quarter Life Crisis, thinking I am going through a quarter life crisis, this MUST be the show for me. After fifteen minutes, I realized that no, this was not my show. This was not a show of people screwing up, doubting where they were going, struggling to make friends out of college, moving across the country. Even in the quarter life crisis, these people were successful. They were pretty. They had a close knit group of friends who were always at their apartment, friends they had known since high school. They had jobs that were somewhat related to their dreams. They had not yet changed dreams, moved away to new towns, broke up with college boyfriends or post college boyfriends.
I want my show damnit. I want to see struggle, I want to see crying in the butterfly press machine at the gym, I want to see awkward friendships forged by twenty somethings, where befriending someone is scaring than the dating game. I want to see dates that don't work out but not in the funny haha way, but in the oh-this-is-awkward-but-we'll-give-it-the-college-try or fabulous first dates that are only that- fabulous first dates. I want to see actresses who are not substance abusers, but real live people who are healthy and struggling and trying to move beyond their acting degree.
I want to see TA walking in the girls' bathroom filled with her own students who have just gotten back papers and are bitterly complaining about her who awkwardly shut up when she enters and stare at her as she selects a stall and then dissolve into whispers and giggles as they dry their hands and leave. I want to see a graduate student on television who is not a carciature of the nerdy kid. I want to see what happens when she tries to reach out of academia and flails around trying to find a place in corporate society. I want to see a job hunt on television, a real job hunt with rejections and slow response times and indecision and uncertainty.
I want my show damnit. I want to see a crisis with not pretty people but real live twenty somethings who can't figure out 1-what to do with their life 2-how to survive 3-how to move across the country without knowing where exactly you're moving 4-how to exisist in the in-between. THAT is what I want to see, complete with a laugh track and mis-matched set furniture.
