When I think about my friends at other universities, I constantly wonder what their lives are like and who they have in their lives. I feel pretty special knowing that I go to school and am friends with some unique individuals. This past weekend, a group of them got together to make a parody music video of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” The original version features Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Ashley Tisdale and a few others that I just couldn’t remember. I think I prefer my friends’ version though.

Also, while we’re on the topic of friends, I remembered that Erin and Kiki had made this video back in December in an attempt to meet one of Ellen’s writers, Amy. Unfortunately, they never got on the show like they had hoped for, but Amy did tweet Erin back.

Baby steps.

And since we’re on the topic of YouTube videos…allow me to bring this back to all of y’all!

I know there are multiple versions of this, but this is the first one I ever saw and I remember even back then that this video had left such an impact on me that I wanted to recreate my own version. I kid you not, there is actually a photograph of my friend and I posing with a gallon of milk and a box of cheerios taken by my parents, but you’re never  going to see that.  The things I did as a kid teenager…

Where are these two UC Berkeley guys now?
