Once upon a time, there was a YouTube based band called "Lonely Island". Then, one of the members known to the world as Andy Samberg was cast on Saturday Night Live; one of the longest running television shows in history. Samberg was one of the biggest game-changers in the shows history, mainly by bringing their sketches onto the world of YouTube, which was getting more and more popular by the minute. This YouTube and digital short mania was led by Samberg's band, "The Lonely Island". Since Samberg's entry onto the show in 2005, there have been over 100 digital shorts.
And they describe college accurately...maybe TOO accurately.
10. I'm on a Boat
If you replace "boat" with "campus bus transportation" it's BASICALLY the same idea! Right...?
9. The Creep
Just because you think someone in your seminar class is cute does NOT mean you're allowed to stalk them down!
(Slightly serious note)
If you ever feel in danger or are in a situation with a creepy human making you uncomfortable please report it to your campus' authorities!
8. Shy Ronnie

You know that really shy student who doesn't say much at all? Yeah-turns out his rap skills are wild. He's probably going to be the life of the party/why the party gets shut down.
7. Boombox

Featuring Julian Casablanca, this short perfectly encapsulates the kind of "house" music you'll be hearing for the next four years.
6. J*zz in My Pants
So this really doesn't SHOULDN'T apply to college, but it's really funny, okay?
5. Threw it on the Ground
I'm going to ask you to go back into your computer/cellphone hard-drive and/or facebook album entitled "Freshmen Year! First Semester!". Yeah. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You know, when you dressed a SMIDGE too much like a hipster fighting against the "man". At this point in your college career you were probably trying prove to yourself and others that you were above and beyond your high school self...silly freshman....
4. Like a Boss
Ahhh yes, just when you think you had college figured out-- LOL SILLY STUDENT!!!! See, you may "act" like a boss, but in reality you're just trying to break down the acronym for FAFSA.
3. I Just Had Sex
You know that banging you hear from your neighbors on Saturday around 2 o'clock in the morning? Yeah, they aren't studying... Sometimes it's best during these situations to go find their (sexiled) roommate in the lounge and keep them company until the "coast is clear".
2. Natalie Portman Rap

I think Natalie sums up her Harvard experience pretty well here. I would say that after hours of studying, we all feel like breaking out into this famous tune.
1. D*ck in a Box
This quite literally is the best part of college - stick with me I promise there is a valuable lesson! When you go into college you're, most likely, pretty lonely and homesick. Then that one *~magical~* day, you find that one person who is exactly like you; same major, same interests, same hairstyle, even! Eventually you find yourselves getting into some whacky shenanigans, but if it's with you're best friend, it makes for a GREAT story.
What's your favorite SNL Digital short?!
