College. As Told By Kimmy Schmidt

Any person who watches Netflix has inevitably heard of or come across the Netflix produced "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." Maybe it is Kimmy's constant can-do attitude or the constant stereotypes the characters are playing and hilariously exaggerating. But I have come to realize that Kimmy Schmidt is the college student in all of us.

1. Walking into the first day of class as a freshman like.

(Or in my case, tipping up the concrete stairs first.)

2. Realizing that you can live on your own and eat and do whatever you want.


3. When your roommate is gone for the night and you just kind of dance around the room singing and dancing in some unfortunate clothing because you know that no one can possibly walk in on you being totally embarrassing.


4. Being an education major and realizing that you should maybe start watching your language because pretty soon there will be 30 impressionable little ones studying your every move.


5. Walking into an exam after you just gave yourself a pep-talk and listened to your pump-up jam.


6. When someone comes at you with something other than good vibes.


7. When you had a really hard day and someone offers you chocolate.


8. Coming home for the weekend and eating so much good (and real) food.


9. The "I am listening to you and will rip this guy's arm off if he touches you again face" as you hold in your anger while consoling your friend.


10. Realizing that you know absolutely nothing about guys.


11. Seeing fries in the dining room and resisting the urge to eat them because you have had them 27 days in a row and realize that the freshman 15 is becoming a reality.


12. Mood swings.


13. Driving to school at the end of the summer and realizing you get to see your favorite people in a matter of hours.


14. When you hangout with your guy friends and try to act like one of the dudes and keep up with them.


15. When all the syllabi come at you.


16. This paper is due when?

17. Sitting in a class where you are totally in over your head and just go along with everyone because they all know exactly what is going on.


18. During sorority recruitment just trying to give a kind compliment and make small talk and end up offending the president.

19. Making sure people know this because college is fudging hard.


20. When everything in your room goes from being perfect to messy.


21. Your peer advisors during your freshman year.


22. Posing with your best friend during a fun night out because you are looking fab and your make-up is #onfleek.

23. Being the only one in a good mood (or not hungover) in your friend group and just trying to lighten the mood.


24. Driving to Walmart alone in the car and jamming so hard because it is the first alone time you have had in a week.


25. Waking up to a mess of clothes, make-up, and snacks on every inch of your room on a Sunday morning and realizing you have done none of your homework and now have to clean your room as well.

26. Realizing coffee exists.

27. Hearing that your partner will be assigned for a project.

28. Meeting your professor on the first day and hearing all of his/her accomplishments and suddenly having deep respect and no words.

29. And the best possible advice, on so many levels.

As the fall nears close, and move-in is just days away, we can get excited for another year having the time of our lives. Happy beginning of the semester to all! And if you get down, just watch some "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and your mood will drastically improve.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
