I need help for you all. In one of my college courses, I have to make a 10-15 minute documentary as my final project. It can be on any topic. The only specification is that the majority of the footage needs to be original. So my possible ideas are:

1) Life of a Typical College Student
2) The Terrible College Food
3) Alcohol and College
4) A Day Without _____

Any other ideas? Or opinions on the topics I have thus far?

Thanks.

Do a documentary on your inability to grow a pair and ask a girl out on a date.

Thanks for those that helped.

UPDATE: As of right now, I'm settling on documenting a guy's experience while eating cafeteria food. He cannot eat anything outside of school restaurants (non-chain one).

Good or bad idea?

I still like the Day Without Taking a Leak one. It will start off slow, but the end will be comedy gold.

I'm with spurs fan in exile. A day without the internet would kill you guys.
My kids still can't believe I went through college without a computer...and with an electric typewriter! Library? Card catalog? What are you talking about??

I have a suggestion for the title. You can call it "Super Size Me".
