Iliza Shlesinger: The Woman Who Gets It

"This ain't make up, sweetheart, this is WAR PAINT."

Iliza Shlesinger: The Woman Who Gets It

There is a woman out there who has dismantled the going-out-code and everything in between piece by piece, and that woman is Iliza Schlesinger. She was the hilarious winner of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2008 and has two specials currently streaming on Netflix. 

My friends and I can't stop watching this firecracker of a woman because of the absolute truth she speaks. She translates every interaction between men and women perfectly, which is likely the reason we find ourselves quoting her 24/7/365. It's not very often I come across a comedian who reiterates my inner dialogue, so I have to hold her close. 

Like, when you're trying to break up with a guy but don't really care to keep it modest...


Or when your friends are judging you for getting a little frisky after a drink or two...


When a guy who isn't as hot as he thinks he is tries to act like he's out of your league...


When your friends ask you why you've been on the computer for five consecutive hours...


When you're out at night and guys are gawking at your assets (and little do they know you're prepared for a battle)...

What happens when you go out for a light dinner with you girlfriends and are all secretly miserable...

How you're really feeling when you're out at the bar...

Check out Iliza's comedy specials, "Freezing Hot" and "War Paint" on Netflix. You WON'T regret it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
