UF freshman stars in AOL reality show

JESSICA IS ONE OF ONLY SIX ACROSS THE COUNTRY

The Independent Florida Alligator: "Jessica is one of more than 7,000 freshmen who started at UF this Fall, but she's the only one to star in a new reality show.

Nineteen-year-old Jessica (photo), whose last name is not being released for privacy reasons, is one of six first-year college students from across the United States chosen to be featured in America Online's 'Project Freshman,' an online reality show that documents the students as they adjust to their new college lives.

The students were given digital video cameras to film their experiences in personal, real-life settings.

Each week Jessica gets an assignment from her producer based on her schedule for the week. She also is required to record video confessionals and keep a blog on AOL at least once a week, and converse with viewers if they have questions or comments.

Project Freshman's first episode aired Sept. 22, and new episodes will air every Thursday."
