The Story Behind this Story

---

This story hold a special place in my heart because it aims to include elements of my own life to inspire the characters and the world they live in, and put it into a medium which I have always loved, a sitcom.

The main character, John, and his three roommates, Matt, Sam, and Zander, are each an extreme exaggeration of particular aspects of myself. 

Zander enjoys his downtime, and doesn't need to put in a lot of effort to get good grades. He wants to be a teacher because his twin sister Sam wants to be a teacher.  Sam is the complete opposite of her brother Zander. She hype-fixates on whatever topic she is currently working on, and you're lucky if she lifts her head from her books when speaking to you. Matt is studying to be a lawyer because he always admired the man his father was when he was alive. Finally, John has no direction in life. He feels like he is decent at a lot of things, but never good enough to make a profession out of it.

Danni is different. She is the main love interest for John, and a member of the main cast, but her life has no direction, just like John's. She is meant to embody who John wishes he could be.
