After College Life – Water Cooler ep5 part1

Beautifully shot, edited, and directed, the first Water Cooler of the year at Globesville has arrived! Production Team Leader Andre Doughty grills the crew on “Post Graduate Life”.

  • Randa has a friend of a friend telling her to give him a call when she’s done
  • Olivia wants to be an actress but is realistic enough to know that film/television might have to do, “That realm” she says.
  • David has no idea and throws biology majors under the bus.
  • Katherine, an accomplished grad student only had not being a “street bum” as her measure of post grad success.

NO ONE has any plans to move out. We hear stories of friends who live in Manhattan studio apartments for $200/month each (privacy not included), mom and dad having to prepare for the long haul more-or-less, and summer camp stories from the moderator himself. Randa has legitimate first world problems, she says two if everyone has their own room but how many people can you imagine living with? Or better yet, how little money do you have? (No one seems particularly terrified of STAYING with their parents, culture shift in real-time).

Randa steals Andre’s thunder in asking “Where else would you live?” everyone except Randa would be open to moving from the all powerful New York. Colorado, Los Angeles, and anywhere are apparent candidates. What is it actually like out there? With areas such as Brooklyn, Harlem, and surprise! Long Island City (to name a few) entering an actionable stage of their makeovers why can we still barely afford them? Why would we still have to “Wait and live with four or five other people” to live in DOWNTOWN Manhattan?
