Exams are over collegiettes™! What does that mean? That means that you have time to breathe, sleep (thank God), and watch all the TV you want on Hulu (or whatever method you use to watch television online).
 
This semester Her Campus Princeton has given you fashion advice, academic advice, and of course relationship advice. For the first time ever, Her Campus Princeton is providing—wait for it—procrastination advice.
 
Let’s face it: television shows are great! Glee, 90210, and Gossip Girl are my personal favorites, but popular television often loses its spark. No need to fear. HCP has got you covered.
 
Dorm Life: Missing College?
During the academic year, we’re ready for summer. When the summer months ease along, we miss our fellow collegiettes™ and are ready to return to Princeton (minus the work).
 
When you’re back home and missing Frist or the fantastic Wilcox camaraderie (note Wilson-Butler bias), definitely watch the short web-series Dorm Life. Dorm Life imitates the documentary format of The Office. Every character on the show is familiar: the enthusiastic student, the crazy RCA, the overachiever (*cough*), and the drunkorexics—why is thatnot an official term?
 
Check out the first (five minute) episode below.

Listen to Your Heart: The Perfect Summer Romance
What is summer without a bit of romance? If you aren’t able to find your own dash of romance, I have the perfect movie in store. Listen to Your Heart is the story of a beautiful romance between a struggling musician and a musically-inclinded deaf woman. Of course there is a twist; of course I’m not going to ruin the surprise by telling you all about it.

Nonetheless, watch the trailer below!

Okay, just promise me collegiettes™ that you’ll stay away from The Real Housewives of [Who-Cares-Where] this summer. There’s much better television for us to watch.
