It's no secret that going to college, let alone living there, is a hardcore struggle. As college students, we have no idea what we're doing most of the time so we often turn to television and movies that can relate to our desperate endeavor into the adult world. "New Girl" is one of those shows. Known as the modern "Friends," the sitcom combines comedic and dramatic elements as the characters deal with friendships, romantic relationships, and career choices. Although these characters are in their early 30s, they're still as relevant and relatable to young adults in college.
