Haven't we all been Ruby, though?

College Life, As Told By 'New Girl'

College can be rough, am I right? We're all running ourselves ragged between classes, homework, finals, clubs, and so much more! Things can get kind of chaotic around campus and our four years are an up and down, crazy mixture of emotions. And “New Girl" can perfectly describe it all! No matter if it's the crazy feelings of freshman year, struggles with difficult professors, or even the bittersweet day of graduation, we all have to admit that we totally see ourselves in each and every one of the characters! Sometimes, I have to admit, I even see myself in Schmidt!

1. Stepping onto campus for the first time as a student

Freshman fever, am I right?

2. Your orientation leaders when the tour is finally over

R.I.P. to our GPAs.

3. Thinking your professor is pretty cool on the first day of class, but he's secretly all like...

"He seems nice!"

"I've taken this class three times."

4. Realizing your professor is totally NOT pretty cool... on day two..

We've all seen it. These professors would make Winston proud.

5. When you and your roommate decide to be impulsive

Yeahhhh, you so didn't get a dog.

6. But decide to "study history" instead

Ode to the True American.

7. When you ask for extra credit, but get a HARD no

"I know I have a 59 in this class, but there's totally an assignment I can do for extra credit to bring that up to an A, right?

8. Pushing past tour groups that seem to only show up when you're running late to your most important class

It's funny how things change in just a year.

9. When your parents drive to campus to move you home for the summer

"See what happened was..."

10. When you take your first psychology class

Everyone thinks they're a pro after their first Psych class.

11. When you stay up all night working on an essay that never seems to be good enough

"You know what, nevermind. Let's go out"

12. Spending game day on the quad, tailgating with your friends

Is there anything better?

13. Watching campus fade away in the rearview mirror on Graduation Day

Final moments seem so fleeting. On to bigger and better things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
