New girl is one of my absolute favorite shows. Many times I feel like the situations are very relatable to real life. Here are some instances that I found particularly funny as a cadet.

1. "Jess: Nick, put on some pants or at least some really high socks.

Nick: Really high socks it is, then!"

It's the end of the day and you've come back to your room. You kick off your boots and quickly get into the comfort of your underwear. Don't lie. Behind closed doors, none of us want to wear actual clothes. But then your roommate comes back with a slight look of panic saying something along the lines of "I have to help a freshman with something and they're coming over in a couple of minutes." Fantastic. I'll put on my really high socks then.

2. "Jess: I just wanted to listen to Taylor Swift alone!"


Finally the weekend is here. But just when you kick back and get ready to start your weekend off right with Netflix, someone needs your help. Which normally wouldn't bother you, however, it was a long week filled with too many essays and GRs, you were swamped with school for the entire week. All you want to do is come back to your room, kick off your boots, take off your uniform, and do absolutely nothing productive. Then you hear the dreaded knock at your door. Thousands of freshman are awaiting you on the other side to ask you arbitrary questions about things that could wait until next week. You put on a kind smile, but die slowly on the inside. It's okay. We've all been there. Jessica Day feels your pain.

3. "Jess: Just doing a room check and....you are accounted for so....see ya later."


Awkward. Ever been in that situation when you have to check for the opposite gender in their rooms? You knock on the door and there's no response...should I open it? Should I knock again? Should I get someone of the same gender to open the door? Gah! It's weird.

4."Nick: Look there's a lot of things I don't tell you. I haven't done laundry in 5 months."

We all know that one cadet that NEVER does laundry. Where do you keep it? How do you achieve this? Do you wash your clothes in the sink? Do you just wear dirty clothes? Use the laundromat...except for those people running the strips.

5."Schmidt: No sig oths.
Cece: Just say “significant others.”
Schmidt: Maybe you have that kind of time, but I’m on a tight sched."


We. Are. Always. Busy. We don't usually shorten words down to one syllable, but if it will give us back a few nanoseconds of time, maybe we should?

6."Winston: Saturday is a day for sleeping, and damn it, you will not take that away from me!"


Sadly, sleep is a hard thing to come by around these parts. The weekends become sacred for sleep. It's truly a small heart break when your roommate needs to get up early on the weekend, effectively waking you up in the process. A little more heartbreaking still is a Silver Saturday. We know it's our job to do the training on Silver weekends, but does a part of us wish we were sleeping in? Oh yeah.

7. "Nick: You can't turn the sink on when someone's in the shower! This isn't some fancy hotel!"

Anyone that lives in Sijan gets this one. It's a sad day when you realize that you're actually surprised to have hot water. "Wait....the showers are working again??" REJOICE!

8."Nick: Guys, we’ve gone soft! With our antibiotics and our sports creams!"


*Eye roll* Anyone else tired of hearing how soft every single generation is getting? Or how "easy" it is now? Ah well, "back when it was hard" I never would have had to hear these phrases.

9. "Winston: When can we start eating?"


Sorry Wing staff, we know that you are obligated to make announcements during lunch. But we've all felt the slight impatience associated with being extremely hungry and having to wait for the much anticipated "Wing take seats."

10."Jess: If you feel things getting sexual say 'Shut it down.'"

The time of the year is just around the corner for sexual assault awareness briefings. Don't get me wrong, it's extremely important to prevent and be aware of sexual assaults. I just hope we can find a better and less repetitive way to accomplish this.

11. "Nick: Can I get an alcohol?"


Hey, we all need a break sometimes. Enjoy Haps while those of us that are underage just count down the days...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
