Junior Year Of College As Told By 'New Girl'

Junior Year Of College As Told By 'New Girl'
Tumblr user allaboutnewgirl


I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say that college is hard. The classes are harder than high school, meeting new people is often stressful and living away from home is a big adjustment. Then, junior year hits, and every assignment, test and essay matters. Now, you have decided on a major and all the classes are upper level. The "real world" is slowly approaching and "adulting" becomes a daily task. My junior year taught me a lot of things, and I can't think of a better show to describe it than "New Girl":

When someone asks you how your midterms/finals/essay went:



When someone has perfect grades, an exciting social life and is the president of 47 organizations on campus:


When your roommates start fighting about who didn’t wash their dishes:



When you see teenagers and secretly envy their virtually stress free lives:



When you manage to meet every deadline and even start assignments early:

Sometimes, I would even make a dentist appointment for myself.


When you realize you’re never going to live with your parents again, and you have to pay bills now:


When you get paid and can finally buy food:


The face everyone gives you when you tell them that you're an English major:

Yes, I will get a job when I graduate. No, I'm not teaching.


Even though junior year was challenging, it taught me a lot about myself and living on my own. Bring on senior year!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
