Being Single As Told by Schmidt From 'New Girl'
Vulture

As a single-pringle, life is very different from that of your taken friends. The dating game is always mildly frustrating, but equally addictive, you don't have to worry about rocking the groufit, and there is so much freedom. Rocking a single status has its perks and definitely some downfalls. Schmidt from the television series New Girl knows better than anyone.

1. Some people look at being single as the end of the world.


But in reality, there are so many bigger problems in the world than not having a significant other.

2. But being single is actually pretty awesome.


"You mean I don't have to spend all my money on someone else, and I don't have to shave everyday? What a travesty!"

3. You can go out and have fun!

4. When it comes to playing it cool, sometimes you have 0 chill.

What are people attracted to anyway?

5. Sometimes you just want to bang the hot guy at the bar.


Because you can!

6. When your family members ask if you're seeing anyone...


The answer always gets a little tricky.

7. You try to be happy for your friends in relationships.

But you're just a teensy-bit jealous of their cuteness.

8. You never have to worry about being tied down, because...

9. Story-time with your friends in relationships is always entertaining.

The love to hear about all your dating escapades.

10. Sometimes you sink into a "forever alone" episode.


Full with crying, ice cream, and rom-coms.

11. And even though they try to comfort you, non-singles don't understand.

12. Looking another couple's PDA, just makes you sick.


Can you please remove the googly-eyes and hand-holding? Some of us are trying to be single in peace.

13. Sometimes you wonder if it's you.


Maybe there's something wrong with you.

14. And watching all your friends in relationships makes you feel lonely.

You miss having someone to talk to and love.

15. But then you remember that you're amazing, and you can do whatever you want!

And without judgment!

16. You can go out basically whenever you want.

And flirt your little heart out!

17. Coming home at the end of the night can be a little sad.


Body pillows are a single gals' best friend.

18. But at the end of the day, you know you are perfectly happy being single...


And absolutely killing it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
