College Life As Told By Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

The Netflix-Original Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt follows the life of a woman rescued from being in an underground cult for 15 years and adjusting to the real world, specifically the New York City world. Kimmy, along with her Broadway-aspiring-roommate, the rich and entitled employer, and street-woman friend, depict college life perfectly!

1.When You First Get To College And Taste That Freedom

No parents around to tell you to clean your room or cook you dinner or give you a curfew. You're on your own. This can be scary and fun all at the same time.

2. When You Pass Someone From High School On Campus

You left high school behind, or at least you thought you did. This can also apply to when someone asks you about your high school experience. No, nope, none of that!

3. When Someone Asks You To Do Something With Them

Going to class was hard enough, now just let me enjoy my bed and Netflix marathon, please.

4. When The Poor College Student Life Becomes Too Real

Because these pass as iPhones and laptops right?

5. When The Bartender Asks You What You Want To Drink

Being an adult means drinking wine, right?

6. Finals Week

It's fine. It will all be fine.

7. Coming Back After A Night Out

Nothing like trading in the heels in for slippers and the dress in for sweats.

8. When You Show People Your College Dorm

The college dorm is something else. Communal bathrooms, small rooms, weird smells and awkward noises.

9. Trying To Defend Your Major And Life ChoicesHaving to answer the "what's your major?" question. Then explaining why you chose it. Then what you want to do with the major.

10. Sleeping And Eating Becomes Your Daily Routine

Although the food quality does go down to whatever is the cheapest and most available.

11. When You Finally Sort Of Figure Out How To "Adult

This isn't so scary right? It's definitely a learning process, but overtime some things start to make sense and work and college is all about learning what it means to be on your own and who you are.

Kimmy Schmidt and her friends capture the ups and downs of college as just like us, she is figuring out her place in this world and how to make 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.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
