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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
