College years for me is one of my best years as a student. This is the time where I emerged as a student achiever in different aspects - leadership, honor roll, scholarships, and love life!. But though college years were my golden years, I also encountered different problems and struggles faced by ordinary students.
These different challenges of college students were tackled in the latest indie film "Dorm Boys." Usually when we heard of 'indie film,' the first thing that comes in our mind is sexy or adult movies. But "Dorm Boys" erased that bad impressions to indie films.
"Puso," "Pera," "Parents," and "Professors" were the four major Ps or problems of every student. These problems were faced by the five college barkadas who were living together in one dormitory!

The movie discussed how these youngsters deals with such problems and showed how they overcome these challenges. They were all ordinary students who encountered common teen problems. But in the end of the story, see how they emerge as winners overtaking their own trials!
Here is the full trailer of the said movie. Let's all watch this:
The movie gives inspirations to every students. It tells the young viewers to be strong, don't easily give up, and keep on fighting amid of different trials. All of us have our own problems to face. But at the end of the day, try to realize that if "nakaya nila, dapat kayanin ko rin!"
Another good thing about this movie is that, it is light and cool to watch though tackling serious problems! After watching it, you might say, "naka-relate ako!" It is successful in captivating the target audiences which are the youth!
I even love how the stories of each student were put together! They inter-relate one another!
