These 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' cast photos make us want to relive junior high

Let's face it, watching "The Sex Life of College Girls" kind of makes us want to redo our college experience. The hit HBO Max series, which returned for the second season on November 17, follows the lives of four young women – Pauline Chalamet (Kimberly), Amrit Kaur (Bela), Reneé Rapp (Leighton) and Alyah Chanelle Scott (Whitney) – as they navigate love, life and friendship during their first year at prestigious Essex College.

In the series, the quirky foursome start off as simple castmates, but the cast, including Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, and Lauren "Lolo" Spencer, look like one big happy family in real life! And they're equally passionate about how their show dismantles age-old tropes about women and friendship. "A lot of women know that female friendships are like the most important thing," Chalamet told Insider in a November 2021 interview. "There's a real intimacy that's created. The show does a really good job of portraying that because there's a way to share in a group like that, there's a way to open up and you don't really see that much."< /p>

Just like college, the Mindy Kaling-created series isn't without its fair share of drama and crazy adventure. So of course, we're excited to see what other types of mischief the girls get into this season. Ahead, check out some fun photos of the actors hanging out together.
