College Life, As Told By 'New Girl'

All the emotions and weirdness together in one show.

College Life, As Told By 'New Girl'
tvseriesfinale.com

College is weird, emotional, and sometimes completely ridiculous which is why no one can relate better than the cast of New Girl. (If you have yet to watch this hilarious series I totally recommend it).

Jess, Nick, Schmidt, and Winston are adults in their early thirties who share a loft while all dealing with individual relationship and career choices. Although none of this sounds relatable to college life, New Girl demonstrates that maturing continues to happen even years after graduation.

Unfortunately this means that the struggles you are faced with today, may or may not still be there in 10 years. For now, we can just focus on college life as described by the characters in New Girl.

Indecision and bad decisions haunt every college student

As college students, we're faced with daily decision, some more crucial than others, but all equally difficult.

Responsibility is an avoided subject

What do you mean I have to cook, clean, and do laundry for myself?

Everyone is mentally and emotionally exhausted

Some might admit it more than others, but everyone is struggling with the exhaustion of college.

It is nearly impossible to go an entire semester without crying at least once

And sometimes it is imposible to get through the week without a few tears, trust me it's normal.

When something goes right, we want to celebrate

Like passing a difficult exam or not procrastinating on homework.

Secretly hoping you'll cross paths with that cute guy

Then awkwardly saying hi when you make eye contact,

There is nothing wrong with spending the day binge watching Netflix

You need a break every once in awhile.

We're all trying to live our life without gaining too much weight

The freshman fifteen still exists sophomore, junior, and senior year.

Giving advice to others may or may not be our specialty

Even if we don't listen to our own advice, we love to give it to others.

Alone time is what keeps us sane

We all need that "me time" to keep us from going insane.

We're all just trying to figure out this whole growing up thing

If you think someone has their life all together in college, they're probably just really good at pretendin.

College is a weird place, but we've accepted it

At least we have each other to share in the weirdness.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
