Okay, so you're obsessed with The Sex Lives of College Girls? Who isn't! The show is hilarious, relatable (in some ways, maybe not *all* the sex lives), and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling of friendship. But what do you do when you've binged it all and are craving more of that college chaos?
More College Fun (And Maybe Some Drama!)
Don't worry, your entertainment needs are covered! Here are a few shows that capture that same spirit of figuring things out, forging friendships, and stumbling (sometimes hilariously) through the world of higher education.
"Never Have I Ever": Awkward Teenage Years, College Bound
While Never Have I Ever starts in high school, it perfectly portrays the awkwardness of growing up, navigating friendships, and trying to figure out who you are. You'll become instantly invested in Devi's journey as she deals with grief, crushes, and the pressures of being a first-generation Indian-American.
And guess what? She eventually heads off to college! So, you get to see her navigate those first experiences of freedom and independence, just like Kimberly, Bela, Leighton, and Whitney. Expect lots of laughs and heartfelt moments.
"Grown-ish": College Life After High School
If you loved Zoey Johnson from Black-ish, you’ll love Grown-ish! This spin-off follows Zoey as she navigates college life, dealing with relationships, classes, and figuring out her future.
Grown-ish isn't afraid to tackle real issues, like drug use, cultural appropriation, and the pressures of social media. Plus, the fashion is *amazing*. Think of it as a slightly more grown-up version of *The Sex Lives of College Girls*, but still with plenty of humor and heart.
"Dear White People": Smart, Funny, and Thought-Provoking
Based on the movie of the same name, Dear White People dives into the lives of Black students at a predominantly white Ivy League university. It’s sharp, witty, and tackles important issues about race, identity, and social justice.
While it’s definitely more serious than The Sex Lives of College Girls, it shares that same spirit of exploring complex relationships and navigating the challenges of college life. Plus, the writing is top-notch, and the characters are incredibly well-developed.
"Community": College for… Everyone?
Okay, so Community isn't *exactly* about the typical college experience. It takes place at a community college and features a group of misfits who form a study group. But it's pure comedic genius.
The characters are quirky and hilarious, the storylines are wildly inventive, and the show is packed with pop culture references. If you're looking for something completely different but equally funny, give Community a try!
"Six seasons and a movie!"
