title picked by MTV to somehow foist the public into buying the concept that 7 strangers living in a house rent-free for months on end is somehow real.

Lame ass MTV show, where they stick a couple of just out of college kids in a house, so that we, the viewers can listen to their converstaions, which usually go something like this:

P1: "Hey."
P2: "Hey"
P1:"What do you think about Joe?"
P2:"I don't want to move our relationship to the next level"
P1: "..."
P2: "Lets go to a club"
P1: "OK."

... And this sort of thing continues. Unfortunately, it is the preference of some friends of mine, and is constantly on TV.
P3:(on the phone) "I don't know if I'm ready to move on, after Melissa."
P3: "yeah"
P3: "Mhm, I know"
P3:"..."
P3: "Alright. See ya"

Me: Did I just waste 20 minutes listening to a one-ended phone conversation on MTV? omg.

1) The unbereable people, places and situations we have to deal with as long as we live. 2)What most people who do drugs are trying to escape from (most of the time they might be right - who could blame them?)
1. Man, I just wasn´t made for the real world! Everything is so not fun!
2. Screw the real world! I´m into smack now!

A sober reality that realizes that even though life sometimes sucks you keep moving forward.
Get used to the real world...if you don't like your $5.50/hr job go develop a skill that pays more.
