Justine Bateman, 47, Is A UCLA Freshman

Anyone else out there who watched Arrested Development's Season 4? Which opens with Michael (Jason Bateman) living with his son in the UC Irvine dorm? Coincidence Time! Bateman's sister Justine Bateman— who once guest-starred on the show as Nellie, a hooker who Michael confused for his long-lost sister and hired to work at the Bluth Company — just started her first year of college at UCLA, where she plans to study computer science. (Either it's a coincidence or the world is directed by Mitch Hurvitz. We can only hope.) Who knew Mallory Keaton was a closet nerd?

Justine's documenting her collegiate experience on her blog, College Life, and, rather remarkably — considering she's a 47-year-old celebrity — her responses to class have been pretty damn normal. One post reads:

Did a 6-hour marathon coding session last night on campus. Finally called it at 1am and the project’s still not done, but I had gotten to school that morning at 8am and was starting to not think straight. When I finally got into my car to drive home, I couldn’t even remember if I had eaten all day.

Red Bull and Frosted Flakes is the only way to pull a successful all-nighter, Justine. Red Bull and Frosted Flakes. You can thank me later.

Another post reads:

Remind me to tell you about this sour girl I had to interact with in the discussion class of one of my classes the other day. Fucking priceless. I have to wait until the quarter’s over, though. Because class.

Haha. I have no advice for that one, except wait it out. And try not to throw crumpled-up balls of paper at the girl who won't stop asking questions during lecture and drags it out for an additional ten minutes, even if the little Tracy Flick deserves it.
