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...

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
