College life is fast, fun, tiring, stressful, but most of all, memorable. It is a place where people from all walks of life gather in hopes of obtaining a higher education and where unexpected bonds are forged. Those bonds come with life lessons that either make or break you. Whether you fold— that lies strictly in your hands unless life’s hardships threaten to get in the way.

Iyana, a nineteen-year-old mother of two, is determined to make something of herself. The road to obtaining her education hasn’t been easy, but she will stop at nothing to accomplish her goals. Not even the drama with her baby’s daddy and his girlfriend is enough to stand in her way.

All Cartez knows is gang life, but he has the chance of a lifetime. Not everyone from his background has the opportunity to become more than just a product of their environment. Yet, he struggles to find his footing in a land so foreign from what he knows.

Montreal’s a spoiled rich kid who loves football, his fraternity, and sex with lots of women. However, his love for the girls is the gateway to many troubles, especially when his girlfriend, Brittany, from back home, follows him to the university during her freshman year.

Brittany’s love for Montreal knows no bounds. She has one hundred percent faith in their relationship until his true nature is revealed. Riddled with heartbreak, she loses herself, and there’s no telling if she’ll ever recover.
After being abandoned by her parents at twelve, Ebony has practically been on her own. Her aunt has given her everything she could. However, what she wants more than anything is to be accepted and live a lavish lifestyle. And she will get both by any means.

School’s in session, but not every lesson learned comes from a book. Sometimes the best teacher is life, and not everything is sunshine and roses when studying at Hard Knock U. This is the Story of Us!
