Sneaking around her teammates and his wife ( sigh) while trying to avoid causing a national scandal that could jeopardise her Senator mother’s career, leaves Whitney feeling alone. Meanwhile, her roommate Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott), a soccer player, is also caught in an unbalanced relationship with the team’s coach. Storyline: Follows the lives, loves and laughs of four college roommates as they arrive at New England’s prestigious Essex College Bela quickly realises, however, that navigating the toxic environment that the Catullan’s two male editors have created, and the dangers of the workplace power structure, will force her to confront sexism and assault, and decide whether it’s worth enduring. Her go-getter attitude, while occasionally reeking of freshman desperation, is exactly the kind of networking experience you’d pick up in college. But her eagerness to hook up does not interfere with her laser-sharp focus on getting into Essex’s Catullan comedy club.


Bela is raunchy, unashamed, and eager to have sex with the plethora of six-packed frat boys that make up Essex College, a fictional university based in Vermont.

On the surface, she is the typical queen bee, a rich, white girl from New York City (which she mentions more times that I can count), who wears Gucci and Saint Laurent. The process leads to the creation of a beautiful bond between unlikely friends. brings a realistic spin to the classic tale.įorced together by the randomly assigned college housing portal, four young women band together to try to make sense of sex, sexuality, and sexism in a world filled with stereotypes, labels, and unspoken power structures. For all the coming-of-age comedies and dramas that have made up the foundation of modern-day popular culture - from Gossip Girl or even Euphoria - Sex Lives. That’s what Mindy Kaling’s latest triumph, The Sex Lives of College Girls, encapsulates.
