First Semester Of College As Told By New Girl

Many refer to the first year of college as the new chapter of your life: new school, new friends, new classes, new experiences, new amounts of stress. But no one explains the first year of college better than New Girl.

1. "I'm Really Bad At Making Decisions"

Aren't we all Jess? If you thought making decisions was hard before college, wait until you have to make decisions that involve your future on a daily basis. And if you're indecisive, I wish you the best of luck--this is coming from personal experience.

2. "Saturday is a day for sleeping"

Yes, yes it is. College is all about managing time. Sometimes we get so caught up in managing time to do everything else, that we forget to leave some time to do the most important thing: sleep. Use your weekends wisely to relieve some of that sleep deprivation.

3. "Cute Guy Alert"

Yes there are lots of them, everywhere you turn. Focus on school.

4. "It's perfectly fine to watch TV all day"

No it's really not. You probably will try to avoid homework at all costs, especially by watching as much Netflix as possible. You'll also try to convince yourself that watching TV all day is completely okay, until you have to write that paper you've been putting aside in one night.

5. "I love food"

Who doesn't? But watch out, the freshman 15 is so real and it will find its way of sneaking up on you.

6. "What's Wrong With Me?"

The one question that we always seem to ask ourselves, yet for some reason, can never find the answer.

7."Well I guess I can't hide my crazy"

No you probably can't and there's no reason you should. Embrace your inner-craziness and live your life because chances are, everyone around you is probably just as crazy.

8. "Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably."

College is all about experimentation and experience. Odds are you will do dumb things that you will most likely regret. Just be safe and smart.

9. "That's a terrible idea"

Yeah it probably is. But will you do it anyways? Most likely.

10. "Help me!!!"

I know that most of the time you may feel like you don't have your life together, but everything will work itself out, I promise. Just hang in there, you can do this.

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.
