College Bored is the third episode of the animated show '' Daria 's'' first series. PLOT SUMMARY Jake and Helen have dragged Daria and Quinn along to their friends, Susan and Doug's house. When Helen sees that their three-year-old daughter, Ramona, is 'reading' a My First S.A.T. Study Guide, and is asked what she was doing to get her daughters into a decent College , Helen gets into a panic, and forces Daria to take a College Preparatory class. Quinn agrees that Daria needs this, until being told that she too will have to attend. When their mundane class requires that they visit a college, Jake and Helen take them, beyond their wishes, to their old Alma Mater , Middleton College. Once there, Daria and Quinn are abandoned by their parents, who, nostalgic for their college days, go off to visit Jake's old dormitory. They are supposed to go around with a tour guide, Heather, but this tour of the University's academic facilities is cut short when Quinn goes off to explore the Greek scene. Heather then takes Daria to her room, to see a more realistic view of life at college: people sit around and watch television, scrounge off their parents and work menial jobs. She benefits from the denseness of many of the students, by offering to help them with their dissertations, in exchange for money (no cheques allowed.) At the same time, Jake tries to 'get down' with a bunch of anti-social students, whilst Helen reminisces about college boys, and then quickly, after remembering how they acted around, goes after her girls. Quinn is discovered at a Fraternity House , having been made 'keg queen', soon before the campus police eject the family off the premises for the two underage girls' having wandered around campus unsupervised (although Daria was with the tour guide all the time.) Back at home, Quinn has received a letter of acceptance to Manatee College in Florida, which makes Helen and Jake very happy, until they see that Manatee has no classes and costs $10,000 per semester. Daria gives up her job as an essay writer when Helen does not allow her to keep the money that she earnt, but is cheered up when Quinn breaks up with the instructor of the college prepratory class, when she discovers that Ivy League schools don't really give 'making-out scholarships.'
