College As Told By 'New Girl'

We all have an inner Nick.

College As Told By 'New Girl'

College is not always easy. It is stressful, tiredsome, and you seem to always find yourself in a position that is stressful and makes you want to cry. You pull all nighters, you never seem to know what to do with yourself, and somehow you always end up on Netflix. Things seem to happen over and over again though we can relate to "New Girl" for those of us in college.

Finals week! You are an emotional wreck who just wants to eat.

Most can relate to Jess when it comes to finals week. We are so exhausted from the late night studying, the tears, the pain, and wanting to mentally wanting to kill someone that even tries to talk to you. Though there is a soft spot for food to comfort you trough the week.

Having to share the community bathroom with others.

Sometimes you use the community bathroom and it can get a little crowded at times. You never actually know if the water will get hot in the shower or if the stalls are going to be full. Sometimes you never know who you are going to see in the bathroom or if your going to get lucky to get in and out, or if it will be crowded with a bunch of people. There are times where you feel as though it is absolutely gross because there are so many people use it. Either way, you survive another year of using it, either by choice, or the fact that you can't afford your own bathroom.

Though if in doubt, we spend money on food, because that's where our money goes to anyways.

Either which way, we are typically buying food. If we are stressed, we go for food. If we want to go out, we go get food. It is a never ending cycle of telling ourselves that we need to stop spending money on food, but we go out and get some anyways. Especially Taco Bell, the best friend of a college student.

Sometimes we question if we are watching Netflix to long.

If your anything like Nick, you have come to the acceptance that watching Netflix all day is alright. It is part of your week schedule. Sometimes it is almost a daily schedule. You realize that you just do not need to do responsbilites that day, because of Netflix. Right? Than as the day waste you away, you just watch it stress-fully.

College teaches you how to avoid laundry as much as possibly and I am not even kidding on this one.

I don't know about anybody else, but Nick is my spirt animal for this. I try to avoid laundry as long as possibly if I can. Sometimes I even feel as though it has been five months before I do laundry again. If I can go home and do free laundry I will do so. Laundry is so expensive at school. There is no way I am going to try to do it more often if I don't have to.

I feel like New Girl can relate to us on so many levels. Mostly Nick. Nick is like the spirt animal we never had. He is inside us all when it comes to how college feels. We somehow come through it all though and at the end of it all, it was totally worth it. Really, graduation is fast approaching and once it gets here, we will miss it all. Until then, I shall be here, watching my shows on Netflix.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
