In the season premiere of MTV's newest show, "Awkward", we are transported into what we can all relate to as high school's best and worst most memorable moments. The main character, a 15 year old high school girl named Jenna Hamilton, is a typical high schooler; Jenna has her own group of friends, not very popular amongst her peers, but gets by academically and socially. Her first week of high school though doesn't go exactly as planned. Jenna trips in the bathroom after taking some pain medicine (which spills all over the floor), drops her blow dryer in the bath tub and passes out. She ends up in the hospital with a huge body cast and everyone around her thinking she was trying to commit suicide. What doesn't help is the fact that she keeps a blog about her everyday life and happened to have a bad day because of a guy she hooked up with at summer camp. The blog that day happened to mention her jokingly saying something along the lines of her being "better off dead". So, what started off as a normal high school experience now turned into the show, "Awkward" and as we can see it is fitting. To top things off, Jenna receives an anonymous letter with a list of hurtful observations and is signed, "a friend". In just the first episode we have the typical high school girl with the star football player crush, nerdy, attention craving friends and the desire to be somebody.
