No one sums up the new year better than New Girl.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
