Hollywood Life vs. College Life
From living in LA for nearly a quarter of a year, I’ve managed to get myself involved with two completely different lifestyles. I live in an apartment full of Hollywood promoters. The benefits of this are not having to queue or pay to get into some of the most exclusive clubs in town, and having a table filled with alcohol and models waiting for you inside. Not to mention that once the clubs close, there are limos and SUVs parked outside waiting to collect everyone who is invited to the after party to take them up the Hollywood hills towards a mansion filled with more craziness until sunrise. However, being 'That Guy' who can’t get enough of his former college life who grew up loving all of those American teen dream movies I dug deep and found out how I can get into some of the craziest frat parties. It turned out that getting into a frat party is just as hard as getting into a Hollywood club, if not harder. You must either know one of the “brothers” (someone who lives in the fraternity) or be on the guest list. So, after spending some time and effort at UCLA, USC, downtown and of course Facebook I finally found the right people. I managed to not only reach out to the biggest college presidents, but I was also hired to film and host the parties! Now, these kids are super loaded as they all come from wealthy backgrounds and it costs a bomb to even study here in the first place, so for them throwing money to show how great their parties are is no big deal. Being a British guy from London looking to experience their culture helped a lot, especially with the accent. Pretty cool stuff seeing as there are kids who go to USC who don’t even get into these parties!
