Procrastinating homework because nobody has time for that.

Going Back To College, As Told By 'New Girl'

Summer is over for many, meaning it's time to go back to college and start classes. Whether you are a returning student or beginning as a freshman, here is a list of adventures that occur when you go to college, as told by the cast of "New Girl."

1. Moving in.

Hopefully you can fit everything in your car. Hopefully you have an elevator or it's not a million degrees out on move-in day.

2. Waking up early for classes.

Ugh.

3. Getting textbooks.

Which you spent an unreasonable amount of money on, and you might not even use them.

4. Reuniting with your friends that you haven't seen all summer!

5. When your roommates are gone and you get five seconds to yourself.

6. Getting used to the dining hall again.


7. Procrastinating homework because nobody has time for that.

8. Actual homework.

Syllabus Week is painful at the time, but you will soon wish you could go back to when class time was just listening to the professor talk about future assignments that seem far away.

9. Shower shoes.

It's a love/hate relationship. They are disgusting, but you can't live without them.

10. Walking to class in the rain, sleet, and hopefully much later, snow.

It will feel like the longest walk of your life.


11. Missing your family, pets, and friends back home.

It's bittersweet being at college sometimes, especially if you're far away. Especially pets.

12. Netflix binges instead of doing homework.

Because why not?

13. Trying to stay in shape by going to go to the gym.

Some people are better at this than others.

14. Having to deal with the laundry lines and the broken machines.


15. You will live for the weekends.

Sleeping in and staying out late. Sometimes the week feels like it's going on for forever, but it's so worth it when it's Friday afternoon and all of your classes are done

16. Trying to save money but wanting to buy everything, especially food.

You'll only get take-out one more time, you always say to yourself -- but that never stops.

17. Before you know it, it's mid-terms...

And you're wondering when you were taught any of the material on the exam.

18. When you're trying to sleep but someone on your floor is blasting music at three a.m.


19. When your class is cancelled and you think it might just be the best news you've ever heard.


20. Almost as good as an extension on a paper or project.

Procrastination at it's finest. Who knew that one week could make or break an assignment?

21. Living off of naps.

Without them, you wouldn't be able to function.

22. Realizing college doesn't last forever.

And before you know it, you'll be living in the real world. But that's future you's problem, so just enjoy college right now.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
